Sedler’s Shoe & Handbag Repair

I brought in two pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes that were badly worn because of years of use and abuse. Tito the owner replaced the soles and rejuvenated the leather covering. Now they look brand new! The quality of the work was excellent. I had a great experience with this business. A+

I was extremely impressed by this shop. I came in here after I visited «Paris shoes» on Wilshire and Bundy. I was displeased with the price they gave me close to 100+ to repair my shoes that needed a new sole & bottoms because it had a hole on the wooden part & keep in mind a new pair of JMurphy’s run around 100 + so I knew it was an unfair price.
I came to Sedlers the guy greeted me and his service was by far much better than the other shop and his price was close to 50, half of what I was quoted at before for the same job. And he even added inserts (basic whites) at no cost because he understood the value of long term business is better short term.
Very professional Shoe store and great service earned my business. I didn’t mention my bad experience at that other store so I knew he was genuinely being a nice man and awesome service!
Recommend for all ! Gave my old pair of shoes new life.

This is hands down my favorite shoe repair shop around town. I’ve tried others, but keep coming back to Sedler’s because they seriously do a better job. I’ve brought boots in that other places messed up, and Sedler would redo zippers, soles… such a good resource when you want to keep a favorite pair of heels or boots beyond a couple seasons.

Excellent craftsmanship on my boots! He fixed a big problem another shoe repair on Montana Ave. messed up and he fixed it at half the price. Unfortunately, I paid $ 70 for the guy on Montana Ave. to screw up my boots, but they were fixed at Sedler’s Shoe Repair and I have a new shoe repair I trust and is more reasonably priced.

$ 20 and my old shoes look new. New sole and clean. Totally pleased and gonna bring all my shoes here.

I’ve been visiting Tito since about 1999. Tito has always been friendly, fair, and reasonably priced. He has inserted shoe lifts for me, polished shoes, repaired handbags and repaired shoes for me. I recommend his services.

I took my steve madden boots here to have the soles replaced (they were completely falling apart), and aside from a squeak in the right sole, which will almost definitely just go away over time, they’re more comfortable than they were when they were new. He also cleaned them for me! Very nice.

Went here on 4 separate occasions to have repairs done on shoes, belt, and couple of handbags. The first two times the work was ok. The last two times the work was shoddy. The repairman tried to finish the job with the least amount of effort by glueing where he should have sewn. The belt buckle he attached fell off in ONE use! Would not recommend!

Fixed two pairs of my shoes perfectly. He quoted me a reasonable price at drop off, and then when I picked up cut $ 15 off because he said the fix was easier than he expected. Very fair and great work.

I went to Sedler’s, also based on the excellent reviews. I was looking for someone to shorten a pair of over-​the-​knee boots. I was gruffly told that he would only slice them off straight, not with the undulating cut/​seam I requested, and as seen on another pair I brought to compare. He said he wouldn’t do it, because it was too much work. I clarified that it COULD be done, he just didn’t want to put that much time into my boots and he then told me to go somewhere else. I took them to Mike’s up the street and had a wonderful experience.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I came in with a cream pair of heels and asked how much he would charge to just clean them up. Instead of giving me a complete answer he just kept saying «no no no no». I said «are you sure there’s nothing you can do?» And he walked away from me! Didn’t even acknowledge that I was still standing there. No explanation as to why he couldn’t clean them. Just walked away! And they are in perfect condition they’re just dirty. I recommend going anywhere else but there.

Sedler is an extraordinary craftsman in shoe repair. I’ve been coming here for several years. The repairs are always timely and done impeccably. Sedler is dependable, reasonably priced and conveniently located. Ample street parking with meters in front!

I am happy with both pair of shoes. I took. An old pair of shoes to see first how is this place work is because I have never done any shoes out here. Picked up shoes very quickly and it was great so after dropped pair of my expansive shoes and he did an amazing job for a great price. Super happy, will bring more shoes to this place. Very sweet man, unfortunately I don’t remember his name but he, but I like how he is talking on a subject why u are there and not waisting ur time like lots of other service places do. I would give him 6starts if I could

Sedler’s is very well priced compared to most other shoe repair places in santa monica. Went to Angelo on Montana and they were gonna charge me $ 35 to glue the back of my sole to the shoe as it was coming off. Sedler’s did it for $ 14. Definately wll be coming back here

16.50 for new soles, a great price compared to other places I’ve been to. They also told me the suede on another pair that I had were beyond repair so they did not waste my money and I appreciated that. Will definitely come here for my next shoe repair

I brought over two pairs of shoes to get repaired and Sedler’s did a great job. Tito handed me my shoes back. He said that he’s proud of his work and often the materials the shop uses is superior to the original. He was right for our particular shoes. Thank you!

Fantastic work… I took a pair of wingtips in for new heels and to repair some stitching and the gentleman who helped me had it done by the next day.
I will say, you should come in knowing what you want done and not try to haggle, his rates are fantastic but he’s a no nonsense, straight to business guy
I’ll be back

I have a pair of Gee WaWa boots that I LOVE
I Love them so much I kept wearing them until the rubber sole was gone on the heels
I actually damaged the boot heels,
I was bummed,
but fear no more!
This guy can fix anything!
He is straight to the point
You show him the shoes, he tells you what he can do and the price,
conversation…over!
You want to chi chat? Call you mother!
This guy is busy, fixing shoes, OK?
He has the right demeanor for a cobbler
if you want someone to hold your hand, that is what your BF/​GF is for!
The best part is that he also looks like the perfect man to do the job
You know how sometimes you go to the dietitian and she happens to be F A T ?
You Get a trainer and he looks like he has not lifted a weight his whole life?
You walk into a Spa and your massage therapist/​facialist looks like her favorite TV show might be Dora the Explorer? (really young, cute, but nevertheless… lost)
How about the skinny cook?
Suspicious right?
You get the feeling upon meeting them, things are NOT going to go the right way for you…
NOT when you meet this guy!
Go look on wikipedia under «cobbler» his picture is there!
(not really, but it should! :)
He fixed my beloved boots, he put in new rubber soles and fixed the damage on the back too, he even glued a part that needed repair,
For a good price.
They were ready the next day for me to pick up, I took a chance and I went by a little earlier than the time he said they were going to be done and he had already repaired them.
Good to know he is in the neighborhood!

I dropped off 4 pairs of heels to be reheeled. I needed two pairs in a hurry and the cobbler told me that he would be able to get the two, even perhaps the four pairs, done at 5pm the same day. Sweet.
My boyfriend stopped by there after work to pick up my shoes, and three were fixed just great — but he had snapped one of the heels in half while trying to repair the last pair, and then proceeded to LIE and tell my BF that I dropped them off like that. BULLLLLLSHIT!!!
I would have been much happier if I was told that he was trying to fix the heel and it inadvertently snapped — but to act as if I brought them in broken, and then act as if he never had touched the heels because he saw that they were broken shows that this guy has no integrity. They are shoes, and shit happens to shoes, but don’t act as if I am the one who is trying to pull a fast one on YOU.
Like I said — the other pairs of shoes he reheeled were great, but I automatically downgrade this shop to a 1-​star rating for LYING about fucking up my shoes.

I feel like Sedler’s just handed me 100 bucks in cash. After all, when my favorite bag is busted severely at the strap and my favorite summer sandals broke (mid-​wear, sadly), the old me would have just thrown them out or in the back of my closet until I moved or did a closet purge, at which point they would inevitably land in the trash. But thanks to Sedler’s, for a mere $ 20 I got both of these things fixed and looking and feeling as good as new. I don’t know why I haven’t thought to do this earlier but now that I’m wiser and more frugal, I’m glad I have Sedler’s to frequent with all of my shoe and handbag needs!
Not sure if I met Sedler himself, but the man who helped me was very professional and polite… maybe not the friendliest dude in the world, but the man has important fixing to do, so I don’t blame him for being businesslike! The rates seem amazing to me and he got my stuff done in a matter of 3 days or so.
Ladies (and gents), support this great independent business!
