Baker’s Fredericksburg Boot & Shoe Repair

Where can I click six stars? I am so pleased with this repair shop. I just had a pair of a Timberland chukka boots re-​soled at Baker’s and they turned out wonderfully. These super comfortable shoes are better than new with the craftsman-​like finish and attention to detail this repair demonstrates. You simply cannot go wrong here.

If you have wood heels, make sure to know ahead of time whether they will leave them be. Perhaps having thought my rustic, distressed-​styled shoes were dirty, the stain was sanded away and are no longer sealed.
Nonetheless, it was a relief for me to have my beloved boots reheeled. The rubber heels they put on were much thicker than the factory’s, so hopefully they will last a long time. The service costs about $ 20.

Very nice job! I had a pair of leather women heeled boots re-​heeled and re-​soled. They turned out very nice! I’m glad that handy craftsmen are still around :)

Wow!
After the other reviews stating a reasonable cost, I was floored that a zipper replacement would be $ 36 for a $ 20 cooler!!!
Now to find a replacement my husband will like!

Awesome shop. True craftsmen. They fixed up two pair of Allen Edmonds for me better than new. I’ll be bringing all of my shoes here from now on to save money by doubling or tripling their life.

Dropped off a damaged Coach purse, and they did a good job repairing it. Went by today to pick up a pair of Bass loafers that needed new soles. They are closed for the 4 day Thanksgiving weekend. This is the 2^nd time I’ve driven down to pick them up. The first time I arrived at 3:15 on Saturday; they close at 3. I live 20 minutes away so I only get down here in the weekend. I’ll have to try again next weekend. It’s a bit ironic they are closed on Small Business Saturday. This is a common theme in Fredericksburg. The small businesses keep hours that are convenient to them, not the commuting customers. I will update this either up or down when I check the quality of the shoes, if I ever get to pick them up.

I have to say, I was completely blown away by this establishment. The quality in workmanship was excellent. I was a little reluctant to take my Allen edmonds to someone other than the actual Allen edmonds store, but they did a better job than them. I will use them from here on.

gave it a try based on reviews. got half soles and heels. see the picture I posted but thats how I got the shoes back. $ 400 dress shoes.. I am disappointed. He ground one toe back to far and shaved into the leather. Got edge dye on the leather and didn’t the polish the toe even after the mess up. Didn’t pay attention to the fine details. Took 2 weeks. Made excuses like it was no big deal. Am tempted to go back and have him redo the one shoe.

Excellent work at value prices. Had two pairs of shoes repaired — one re-​soled and the second re-​heeled, for $ 87. This was ten dollars less than a single pair of shoes cost me (re-​soled) at a competitor in Arlington, VA. The repair included shoe refinishing and cleaning. The job took twelve days for the two pairs (in Arlington, it took ten days for the one pair). Staff friendly. There were customers in line behind at drop off and pick up at early and late hours of the day, respectively. Great shop with a work ethic. WILL GO BACK.

Above and beyond! This small shoe repair shop sure knows what they’re doing. So devoted they couldn’t help themselves and fixed more than I originally requested. Didn’t charge me either. Wow, nobody does that. My dog had enjoyed one of my leather cowboy boots. The gentleman owner made good suggestions, had nice smiles, shared lots of experience.- Hours are limited.

Save yourself the trouble and just by new footwear, or seriously find another shoe repair business to patron. I finally had my all-​time favorite shoes fixed after a few adjustments (which took weeks), but this was due to my patience, persistence and diligence and not the care of the «artisan». Even though I was told by the gentleman who works for Mr. Baker that if I had any issues to just bring them back to be corrected. Too bad he doesn’t have his own shoe repair business! That man seemed very nice. Mr. Baker however is unprofessional and a straight up cantankerous asshole!!! He begrudgingly corrected his mistake and is clearly not about customer service. I am being very kind with one star! If they had negative stars (black-​holes maybe) I would award those accordingly. I will NEVER EVER go there again to support his business and I urge you to do the same. It seems that fulfilling my very reasonable expectations perturbed Mr. Baker greatly so there is some comfort in that.
