Vincenzo Shoe Repair

Lady and Gent here are sweet, friendly and craftspeople in a disappearing trade. Keep them in business so we can all keep our good shoes in good condition!

This place was great. Fast (less that 24 hours), affordable and kind.
I needed to get my heels resoled on my favorite pair for booties. I went in on ¹²⁄₂₃ and needed them before I left to go a trip on Tuesday (after Christmas weekend) the woman told me she could have them done by the next day (Christmas Eve). I was incredibly grateful! When I went to pick them on today the man was very kind and the boots look great! He did a good job of matching the wood. I’m very satisfied. Already recommended my friend to go and so should you!

Awesome place, great people, and great price. I paid half what I was going to pay back in Oregon before I move here. I would give this place a 10 star if I could.

Had a pair of shoes repaired and was extremely happy with the results. My shoes were ready in less than a week and the price can’t be beat. The owners of the shop are very nice and I felt good supporting a small business. I would definitely recommend this place.

You leave your shoes here at your own risk. I dropped off two pairs of my favorite boots to be cleaned up from the winter and only received one pair back. While they did a nice job on the pair that they did return, I was shocked when the owner explained that sometimes people come in without a ticket and they just give them the shoes they «claim» are theirs. So, to whomever stole my boots, I hope you enjoy them but the owners need to have a much better system for checking shoes in and out. I will NEVER leave shoes here again now that I’m out a $ 200 pair of boots. Good luck to anyone who continues to patronize this place.

Not the happiest people… The replacement soles do not last more than one year. It must be a racket for him to get you to come in again for the same job. I think they should buy a better quality rubber like some other cobblers have.

Excellent work and service. Needed heels on a pair of shoes and the cobbler we usually go to (in South Weymouth), said it would take a week. Went to Vincenzo’s, they had the shoes finished by the next morning and the price was much more reasonable. Will definitely return to Vincenzo’s.

Vincenzo’s used to be in Milton and I MISS THEM! A little farther to go but I know it’ll be worth it as every pair of shoes they repaired or added no-​slip soles to were perfectly fixed.

They are friendly, affordable, and do fantastic work. High quality, and a «mom and pop» shop I love supporting!

I have taken several pairs of shoes to this place and they have done an excellent job every single time! I also feel that their prices are very reasonable for cleanings, heel replacement, and new soles. Highly recommend Vincenzo Shoe Repair!

Great place, I can’t believe someone would rate this one star, sounds like they didn’t explain themselves clearly. I went a week ago and they were incredibly polite and agreed to resole and re-​heel my shoes within a few days. I used to send the shoes off to the manufacturer to be refurbished, but at a third of the price I will go to Vincenzo from now on.
Cash Only.
If you do go here, get lunch at El Sarape across the street. They have a special lunch menu W-​F at heavily discounted prices.

Bait and switch cash only. I’ve had far better experience with other cobblers. I brought in two pairs of sandals, both wooden shoes, asking for new soles. The guy nodded his head. I asked how much would it be and he replied with $ 10 for one pair and $ 12 for the other. I said ok although I wasn’t sure why he was charging me two different prices, I figured it was cheap enough and still worth it.
When picking up my shoes, a week later, he only put new soles on the heels. I asked about the toe part of the shoe and his reply was «oh, then I would have to charge you $ 25 per pair». Don’t be fooled by this elderly couple that appear nice and friendly — it’s a total bait and switch and they only accept cash and didn’t give me a receipt either.

Vincenzo’s did a fine job repairing the edge on a pair of clogs for me at a very fair price. They also advised me that a pair of my daughter’s boots were not worth repairing. I appreciated the honest appraisal.

It’s been a year and this place is still going strong! I brought a pair of low western boots in. I’ve worn these boots so often that the soles were full of holes that went all the way through, and the leather was scuffed and raw in places. Vincenzo replaced the soles and heel caps flawlessly, smoothed the leather, and even touched up the scuffs with matching polish. (No small feat, as these boots are a metallic verdigris color.) It cost $ 27, which is an absolute bargain– these boots will last another 3 years now. I will happily continue to drive to Braintree from Boston for service this good! I dropped off the boots on Saturday and they were ready the following Friday.
If you are making the trip out here, be sure to have breakfast at Nick’s diner, just a block down the street.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 Highly Recommend As a business traveler I wasn’t expecting to require shoe repair in Braintree MA. Thankfully, when I did need help, I found Vincenzo. He has been a cobbler since the age of 10 and was able to reheel my shoes within 15 minutes. In fact, after seeing his repair vs. the original, my shoes are in better shape now then when new. The only downside is I had to pay cash upfront, which is explained by seeing the unpaid repairs stacked on the wall. 5 stars.

This is the new location of Vincenzo. There are other reviews for Vincenzo under a different address. That is their old location.
This place is great, an older couple work together and did a perfect job for me. 2 years I had my shoes done at a place in the financial district. They charged me double what Vincenzo charges. Highly recommended!
