Lincoln Shoe Repair

Lincoln Shoe Repair did a great job at repairing my favorite boots. The cost of the service was reasonable, I paid $ 45.00 for my boot repair.

This place is awful! I came in to get the rubbers put on a new pair of tap shoes (something that never has been a question at any other cobbler in my 26 years of dancing). When first came to the counter the man asked oh do you just want them glued? I said I’m not sure how they usually do it, have you done it before? So he took them then told me it would be 5 days until I could get m shoe back, I then told him never mind that I would just go somewhere else because I needed them that day (again I’ve never had anyone need longer). I should have trusted my gut feeling at that point but when I said Ill just take the shoes back and go somewhere else it was almost like he was holding my shoes hostage, he didn’t hand them back over the counter and started bargaining with me as to when I would get my shoe back. finally he said I could come back in a few hours to pick them up, (I still should have trusted my gut and left… **lesson learned) So I left and returned a few hours later to get my shoe. When I walked in with my ticket he couldn’t even find where my shoe was. he was searching around for a few minutes and had ask the guys in the back where my shoes were. When I got them I noticed on the left shoe they had somehow scraped up the tap. it almost looked like the were grinding down the rubber and hit the tap on the shoe… it was thinner than it was suspend to be and the screws seemed out of place. I honestly think they took the tap off .I see some glue where the screw is as if they stripped the hole of the screw and glued it back in. On the right shoe when I went to go teach my class, theres some kind of bubble in the glue, and they make a popping sound when I walk… Im SO MAD that I came here. these are $ 170 tap shoes that they ruined… DO NOT GO HERE ! AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

Its a decent place. I got additional holes drilled on my belts since I’ve lost several pounds over the year. He charged me a $ 1 a hole and it cost me $ 9 total for 3 holes x 3 belts.
I also got an old leather office bag refurbished. I got 2 magnetic buttons and reinforcement for the shoulder strap — Total was $ 20. I just pushed out my $ 500 Tumi purchase plan by a couple of months — not bad for an investment!
Negotiation Tip: He prefers cash over card and also pre-​payment of fee.

Dropped off 3 of my favorite pairs of shoes. The nude wedges, gray boots and red suede boots. I needed the heel repaired on the wedges, pretty basic and the shoe wasn’t expensive but I loved them so it needed to get fixed.
The gray boots had a hole in one heel, they added a new bottom to the heel and added a little more sole to the rest of the shoe to make it level, looked great! They did the repairs to both boots so they look the same.
Last up, my red suede boots, these are my most favorite! They needed new heel tips, plus the sole was too slippery, so I asked if they could fix that. They asked me to select a new sole, I wasn’t sure how that was going to look but I picked the ones that looked like it would match my boots the best. I got the boots back and the sole looked great, it was level with the new heel tips and they even waterproofed my boots at no charge. There is a slight black mark on one of my boots, I’m going to bring it back to see if they can clean it.
All of this for $ 62, thanks for breathing new life into my favorite shoes!

This place did a great job in replacing the soles of my To Boot New York dress shoes.

I came here to get my boxing glove’s velcro sew back. $ 10 for the service, I came by two days later to pick up, good as new.
Parking is bit tight though. But that’s no biggie.

Two stars is an average of 1 and 3. When I first took three pairs of shoes to them to fix up, they did a terrible job. I would have asked them to throw away my shoes rather than pay the remaining (50%) balance for the work they did. The way they patched my boots made them look like they had been chewed by critters, and they painted my oil stained, earthy shoes with shiny plastic-​patent-​paint (my fault for not realizing it was shiny when I chose the color– but they definitely didn’t warn me the shoes would go from looking like hipster-​coyboy-​clogs to shoes for a quinceneara). I hesitantly left my shoes with them again to try to fix the poor patch job, to rub off the patent-​plastic shoe-​paint, and to try to get more stretch out of my Dansko clog. The second time I picked them up I was more satisfied (three stars). My shoe was noticeably stretched (that’s what I paid for), the boot was patched nicely according to my instructions in Spanish (although it looked like they used leather from inside the boot which pretty much rendered them unwearable), and the patent leather was dulled-​down. Seventy dollars, and 24 hours later, 2 of the 3 pairs were in a bin at the donation center. As if the experience wasn’t bad enough, when I tried on my shoe a cockroach ran out of it and I nearly had a heart attack in the store front. These guys mean well and seem to be honest and to stand by their work but they don’t speak English very well. It appears they nod and smile without really understanding detailed instructions about the customer’s wants (the second time they worked on my shoes I asked them for what I wanted in Spanish and it worked out better). In the end I paid them 70 dollars but only got a shoe stretched-​the others ended up as donations. I would look for another place to take my shoes or purse if design sense is necessary for the job. I would recommend this place for simple jobs such as for re-​heeling boots.

Up one star because they’re getting better. Can’t complain about that.

I used to go to Herrera shoe cobbler forever, so when I had to find a new cobbler I stopped at Lincoln shoe repair because it looks like it had been around forever. I brought my brand new Uggs (I ended up spilling a couple drops of oil on them, and tried to get it out with soap and water. It was a total disaster I was almost ready to throw them away). Of course there were no guarantees when I brought them to the cobbler. When I picked up my Uggs, they looked like they were brand new out of the box!!! I was shocked needless to say. I thanked him profusely, and told them thank you, I just found my new cobbler. :-) excellent work and very nice people.

I had boots re-​heeled, touched up, shined and whatever they put on your boots to protect them against rain. These guys were really helpful in their suggestions and I picked my boots up a week later. They were in excellent condition and looked new!

I recently took one of my knee high boots in because the zipper broke. Previously I went to Willow Glen Shoe Repair on Meridian Ave. and the guy their told me it would cost about $ 250.00 to repair. Because I needed a new zipper and he charges by the hour. I was super shocked. But I thought I would get a second opinion do I took it here to Lincoln Shoe repair and they fixed it for $ 20.00! The gentleman there was super nice and friendly. Told me the zipper needed to be replaced and it wasn’t problem. They could it ready in a couple days! They are AMAZING!

I brought in a pair of boots that traveled all over the United States. The soles were worn down and the stitching was pulled away at the sole. They leaked when I walked in puddles. I could never find a more comfortable pair of boots and there was also a sentimental attachment to them since a friend had bought them for me years ago.
I did some searching on Unilocal and found this shoe repair shop. I live over 15 miles away but I made the trip to have them repaired. I paid $ 40, and when I came to pick up my boots, they looked almost exactly like they did when they were new! Thank you!
Today I returned to bring 4 pairs of my husband’s dress shoes to get repaired instead of spending $ 100+ on new shoes. I’m sure I won’t be disappointed.

I am here as we speak and they are taking care of my heels when they didn’t have to. They don’t do repairs on the weekend but he accommodated me. I just walked in after driving by. So kind! I need my ONLY black pair of heels for a performance tomorrow and they just dropped everything to take care of this. Thank you Lincoln Shoe Repair! I really appreciate this. You’re a God send!

I’m assuming Angel & Jose are the owners, they both are very pleasant. The prices are the best in town, and they do such high quality work. I am very impressed!

I don’t know what crawled up this guys ass but he was rude!

Went in to have a pair of shoes repaired after getting an outrageous quote somewhere else. Came back a week later to pick them up and I brought a pair of expensive boots with me that I had borrowed from someone that got a little scuffed. He tells me he can try to match the color but it won’t be the same. I give him the boots and worry for the next ten minutes. And he comes out with a pair of brand new looking boots. They underestimate themselves! Love this place. Will return again and again.

I dropped off a nice pair of dress shoes that were a handsome dark reddish-​brown to be shined. I picked up a pair of tan shoes. TAN! I thought they were someone else’s shoes at first, but they’re actually mine. But tan! They said there’s nothing they can do about it.
I’d recommend this place if you want a radically different looking pair of shoes after they’re done with them. Otherwise, avoid Lincoln Shoe Repair.

Lincoln Shoe Repair had my feet looking fly $ 35 and four days later. Finding a small business open on a Sunday is a rarity, but I needed one pair of boots, and two pairs of shoes fixed STAT for my Seattle trip. I dropped them off Sunday, and they were ready by Thursday. Not bad for heel repair/​shine/​refinishing on the boots. Lincoln Shoe Repair is my new holy grail shoe repair spot! From the bottom of my sole… THANK YOU!

Wow. Wow. Wow.
I came here because of Unilocal.I had to get a pair of boots stretched. Get this – $ 10. Oh. Em. Gee! $ 10!!!
I dropped the shoes off on a Wednesday, picked them up the following week, and ended up dropping off another pair of boots to be stretched. When I picked up THOSE boots I had a strap for a pair of heels re-​sewn.
I like when I can support local establishments. This little place has my support and business. I plan to take all of my shoes there all the time.

Stupidly enough, I was about leave for work one morning and let the door leave a HUGE scratch on my shoes. I’m like… wow, how stupid am I. I mean, we’re talking UGLY gash. So I come here because it’s a true Unilocal rarity: five stars. And you know what? They were not kidding.
$ 6 to repair my soles (which were kinda falling off) and fix the gashes on my shoes. Hell, I brought my other pair of shoes for them to buff it out. Not to mention that everything was done within 4 hours. So pretty much, $ 12 to buff out both my shoes, and fix up my screwed up pair? Damn, what a gem.
