A-1 Shoe Service

I just received 6 pairs of boots that I wanted cleaned and polished and I was so happy when I saw them. I feel like they are all brand new again! This place is so great and I am really happy with the work that is provided. Every time I come here I am never disappointed. Very professional and great prices.

This guy does really great work for reasonable prices.
Have brought several pairs of boots here and was more than satisfied. Repairs included scuffs, torn stitches new heels and insoles.

ESSENTIAL TIPS & EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

# It’s in the same plaza as Taco Bell on the intersection of Rose and Yorba Linda Blvd. The shop doesn’t have a sign that says A-​1 Shoe Service. It just says «Shoe Repair»
# I would have given A-​1 5 stars if the owner was honest with me in telling me I could’ve waited longer to repair my black Allen Edmonds Clifton. I knew the soles could have lasted a bit longer since they had no holes in them, but he didn’t advise me otherwise. 100% honesty is extremely important with me not 90%. The cobbler still gets uses high quality materials, gets the job done, and polishes your shoes for free, but this is one thing that will always bother me. If I visit another 5 – 10 times and he is fully honest with me, I will update to a 5, but only until that happens.
# Shoe polishing only is $ 8 per pair.
# Listen up! Men’s shoes prices unless he changed his prices: $ 25 for re-​heel, $ 39 for rubber half sole, $ 55 for half leather sole, $ 69 full leather re-​sole with new heels. No matter what service you get from him, he will shine your shoes. Big plus!

MY EXPERIENCE:
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — –
The interior of the shop is nothing special, but the guy gets his job done and does it well. I only wish he was fully honest when I brought my first pair of shoes to him at the suggestion of Robert L. Regardless, I visit him whenever I need to repair my shoes. I will award him 5 stars if he keeps up the good work. I recommend that you come here and support this local cobbler. Cobblers are seriously a dying breed because people only buy disposable shoes nowadays. Don’t do it. Take care of your high-​end leather shoes and repair them forever until the upper breaks.

Quick turnaround and great quality work! Thank you!

Pepe has always done excellent work, including custom alterations of hand made tango shoes. Highly recommended!

Was there at 9:22 AM this morning and they were not open. One thing I cannot stand, a business that doesn’t keep the hours posted on their door!

Thanks, Robert L., for the referral. Finding a good cobbler isn’t easy.
My pile of shoes needing a repair was growing while my selection of shoes I could wear to work was becoming slim. How is a gal supposed to plan her Monday outfit without a good selection of accompanying shoes? Seriously, this was putting me in a crabby mood.
(Cue the dramatic, heroic theme music). A-​1 Shoe Repair to the rescue!
I took in quite a few pairs of shoes with a variety of ailments. One needed the bows reattached. Another needed new heels. One pair was just scuffed and no longer looked professional. All needed some real care.
Later that afternoon I returned at the time promised. Lo and behold, these must be someone else’s shoes. No longer did they look abused or downtrodden. This was one pretty line-​up of ready to wear steppin’out soles. The price was right, too.
Now I am sorting through my closet to find other pairs that can use a quick rehab. I’m so happy to have found a good cobbler.

My family has been going here for years. Service is excellent. I wear out my heels of certain work shoes and they always do a great job of repairing them. Also got a stain out of my camel colored boots. Yay! They also fixed the zipper on our luggage. Definitely recommend them.

Great service every time!

This is the Best shoe repair shop I have ever been to. I have been wearing shoes for a very long time now. I am what you might consider a expert shoe wearer. In fact, I have a pair on right now…
I have been to many shoe repair shops. Most of them are rip-​offs charging way too much $$ for a simple job. They always «throw in» a half assed shine to justify their expensive price and they always end up using cheap materials (unless you pay extra). I took my Jcrew wingtips (not an expense shoes) in because one of the the sole was separating from the shoes. When I dropped it off we talked about a quick glue job. When I came by that afternoon to pick it up, instead of gluing it, he sewed it on cause he says it will last longer and didn’t charge me extra. Oh yeah, it was also shined.
I am very impressed with this shop.

Great place if you need shoes repaired, shined, or fixed up. These guys are the same folks as the Capri Shoes in Fullerton. I’ve been going to Capri for 15 years. They make shoes by hand and also service store bought items.
Reasonable and good workmanship.
