Euclid Shoe Repair

so i came in here to repair a bag and we weren’t glad with the service provided. we went in to complain but, they actually threw the bag at my mom’s face. the way he was throwing, screaming and calling her names… i’ve never seen anything like this in my life. we actually had to call the police because he was yelling and cursing us like crazy.

I was visiting from out of town and my tote bag was in desperate need of repair. Found this on Unilocal and called the proprietor to explain what was needed. I stopped in and he was able to do the repairs in one day. He needed to replace a stem that was poking out and told me that he could reinforce the other three stems that were sure to do the same, and it would be $ 30 for the fast turnaround. He was honest, told me that he would not be able to exactly match the color of the tan handles, but would get close. He did exactly what he said. He was polite, courteous, and did excellent work. If I lived in the area, I would bring all of my shoes in for repair. Can highly recommend! (Thanks to the person who reviewed and said it was near the Chicken Pie place; made it easy to find).

I am So sad to give this place a 2 star even though the job done for my heel cut off was a Good One. The 2 star stems from an extremely over price job. I took another pair of heels for the same job at Ace shoe repair on Lincoln & St. College and was Only charged $ 10. For the same kind of job! Needless to say that I felt So taken advantage of. I could’ve taken care of three sets of heels for what this place charged $ 30 for each. Although he gave me a mini discount $ 55. for 2 pairs heel cut off :(Now if you don’t mind the over price of his job, I can say he does do a good job.

Beware of this shop! There is a sign that says payment is due before they provide service. This is typical of many immigrant shops from Asia here in socal. I would never pay someone and then expect them to provide top service. What do they have to hide? Well I went in because one of the best shoe repair shops in the city is currently closed. F&F Shoe Repair. The man who I assume is the owner came out and I asked him if he had worked on orthopedic shoes before and he didn’t answer my question. He just started asking me what I wanted. I advised him I had been getting my shoes fixed for more than 10 years in Anaheim. He knew the other shop I had been going to. He also said some of their customers came to him but didn’t come back. Now I know why. He asked me how much I thought a resole job was and I told him in my 10 years of having this done in Anaheim I have never paid more than 30.00. He said oh now, with him it starts at 60.00 and then add 10.00 for other items. Well I immediately said goodbye to this con man. I would not recommend this place for shoe repair or any business. Plus he said it would take next year or 3 weeks to get my shoes, when F&F would do them while I waited. Patron at your own risk!

From my own experience, I know it can be hard to find a shoe repair shop that you can trust. I was using another shop in the area for repairs and the price was ok… but I never really saw good work. My jobs came back looking just ok with those other people, never anything special. At some point I decided to look for another repair shop and I am so glad I found Euclid Shoe Repair.
Now, time for a little background information about me: I am a reseller of fine shoes and bags. My inventory comes to me right out of people’s closets. Sometimes they need just a little cleaning up, or sometimes they need a complete going-​through… but I must have a good dependable shoe repair shop that can handle my jobs. I am selling Gucci, Coach, Ferragamo, Bally, John Varvatos and that type of quality along with other popular brands… and my customers can be very picky as you can imagine. Sure, they are buying secondhand but some of this stuff isn’t cheap and it needs to look PERFECT or no sale.
I have so far taken about 40 pairs of shoes and some bags to this shop. I have not had one complaint about any of them. I’ve never had to ask for any rework or touch-​up, and I’ve never seen any points where a problem was overlooked. The owner, Jun, seems to have done the work personally and with great pride and attention to detail. He is able to evaluate each job before him and see what the item needs to look it’s best, and he has the ability to perform that work. THIS is the shop I was looking for all along.
Price per job has been comparable to what I was paying elsewhere. I’d say the quality of the work is much, much higher.
I’ll also mention that Jun’s attitude has always been friendly and conversational, and he seems to be a nice guy. I can’t imagine anyone having a bad experience here. I see all the other reviews for this shop are 5 stars as well, and I can certainly understand that. Taking pride in your work, offering a fair price and being pleasant to deal with is the way to a good Unilocal rating for sure.
(This shop can be hard to find… it is located in the same little shopping center with the famous «Chicken Pie Shop» right on Euclid, south of La Palma Avenue)

Really great place. I have been coming here for years and I love it. They have saved myriads of my cheap online shoes.

They really get the job done! No fuss, and great honest service. The owner does all the work himself, and he always quotes honestly and fairly from my experience with local shoe repairs. I’ve gone back several times since my first visit and he has treated me with kindness and awesome repairs. My very thick soled leather ugg boots looked like new (free cleaning), and the finishes were barely visible. Even took my treasured designer heels recently, and was happily satisfied with the high-​quality work he did! Definitely will recommend this spot to friends who live nearby… Looked like they do purses and other work as well!

I went in to repair my shoe. all they needed to do is add some glue to stick the sole together. Well they ended up sanding the side of the sole now it looks weird. I would definitely not recommend this place for shoe repair. FYI Cash only.

I absolutely LOVE this place.
Too cute! I felt like I walked into the «I Love Lucy» set…
I came to get my purse repaired (handles were cut on my Coach purse, don’t ask) and the elderly gentleman across the counter advised me no matter what he did, It wouldn’t look good (A+ for honesty) but I was fine with that considering the damage… he quoted me $ 7 and it would be done in a few days.
When I returned, I swear, I thought I walked into the past. The owner was behind the counter playing cards with a couple gentlemen from the barber shop across the way (one, was sporting a healthy pompadour)… I absolutely love the fact that there was an ashtray on the counter that was recently used (even though I no longer smoke, I’m kinda sick of people telling me what and where I can and cant do things). A perfect picture of a carefree day… like those we used to have before cellphones and iPads… when we played cards and and did things like spend time together…
I will be back to repair the other purse handles that were manhandled…
Highly recommend… especially for those nostalgic days…
BTW: his work was pretty good considering how damaged the purse was
…merp…
