Vincent’s Shoe Repair

Three weeks ago I brought in some shoes on a whim. I talked with Rolando who was very friendly and helpful. I picked up my shoes a week later and spoke with Chris. The show was repaired perfectly. I brought in all my leather shoes and one sandal to have Chris check them. I left them all. Last Tuesday I picked up all but two boots which had to be stretched. Chris took his time getting me the right fit for the boots with his insoles.
The work that all the people do at Vincent’s is remarkable. I can keep shoes and boots I thought I had to throw out.
I am very grateful to Chris, Rolando, and all the workers at Vincent’s. I highly recommend them.

I have never had a bad experience here.
I recently moved here from New York, and I wear business /​dress shoes every day for work. I have several pair.
They can not only polish them to look brand new, but they have repaired the soles and previous leather damage I’ve had, which allows me to keep them longer and not replace them as often.
Chris, the son of the owner (and grandson of the original founder) is committed to his work and his customers, and it shows in his service.
I have referred my girlfriend here, and she now comes from Upland with her shoes for shines and repair, and she has referred her friends.
They have a great new location, easier for customers to find, and offers a better experience for customers.
Great place to bring your shoes.

They completely revived my Boss shoes and made them look brand new. New heel, stitching, polish, everything. Great work at a reasonable price.

The guys that work here are true artisans and masters of their craft. I’ve brought so many leather goods here to be repair or refinished and they always deliver top notch quality work for a VERY competitive price.
I brought in a Rick Owens leather that had a rip that needed to be re-​sewn. They actually managed to save the original piece of leather and resew it into the jacket thus saving me from having a patch having to be put on. Exceptional work especially with the stitching. I also once brought in a white leather jacket that had a pen mark down the front. Yes, a full on bright blue ballpoint pen mark down the front. I tried every trick in the book to remove it myself (alcohol, acetone, etc). In the end, I brought it here and for $ 35, the guys actually custom crafted a leather dye that matched the original shade of my jacket and literally «painted» over the stain rendering it invisible. Truly amazing stuff these guys can do. I highly recommend them for all of your leather needs. They also repair high end sneakers like CPs so when your heel wears out, definitely feel safe dropping them off here!

I’m so thrilled I discovered this shop! Chris is very helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating! Love his excellent customer service attitude! He knows shoes!!!

Great work they made me custom plier holder for fishing quality work great prices right on time

I was looking for a place to get new my heels repaired. I had gotten the straps taken in from another shoe repair place only to find that they took it in too much and it was way too tight. I didn’t want to deal with that place again so looked on Unilocal and found Vincent’s. I called and was happily greeted by a gentleman that was so passionate and knowledgable about shoes/​repairs that I immediately felt like I was going to be in safe hands.
I came in later that week and dropped off my heels and also a pair of loafers that needed a new footbed after my dog had taken it out of my shoe and made it a chew toy. I came in and spoke to Christian and told him what I needed done and he was incredibly helpful. I came back a week later and Christian was there again to welcome me. He had me try everything on to make sure it was done to my liking – they were able to save the straps of my heels and my loafers had new, comfy footbeds. Everything was perfect. He even noticed that the bottom of my loafers had watermarks and offered to clean it up and paint it to even out the discoloration for no charge! Truly amazing customer service and workmanship.

I don’t see why this place gets such high reviews. It’s expensive and they don’t know what they’re doing. I paid 18 bucks for them to ruin my suede shoes. I had them for about a week before I split on them, a couple small drops but it really bothered me, and I wanted to clean them myself but figured I’d take them to a «Professional» since they were so new. Took about a full week to get them back. There were parts of my shoe where the suede had been completely rubbed off, not even where the stain was. The edge of the shoe were it meets the sole was also discoloured and just looked ruined. One is darker than the other, and the whole texture was jacked up and «hairy» when it used to be smooth. Never coming back here, and I don’t recommend anyone with Suede shoes to attempt coming here.

Great place. Very friendly, they did great work, and it was reasonably priced. I had a zipper repaired on a pair of boots for my girlfriend and they made the new zipper match great. I’ll definitely be back if I need any other repairs.

Tried this place for handbag dye/​repair, left the purse for more than a week and didn’t get a call or communication if they were able to do the repair. Upon follow up, received a rude reply that the color match cannot be rushed. I decided to retrieve the bag and have it done by a professional purse repair company and didn’t have any issues. Maybe they are ok with shoes, but purses not so much

They do good work & thy are fair about pricing. They explain the work and the process to my satisfaction. I have no qualms bringing friends and family here

Fixed a stain on my suede shoe in less than 5 mins! Looks brand new. Definitely recommend.

I turned in a pair of white suede shoes to be cleaned. The price was already very reasonable. There was one tiny scuff that they could not get out so they refunded me half the money. These guys know how to run a business.

Amazing job!!! My mom had a pair of riding boots sitting in her closet for 3 years & because they were extremely tight, she couldn’t wear them… so I brought them in to get a zipper put on & they did an amazing job. She loved her boots & can now wear them as often as she wants!!!

Broke the heel on my favorite boots. Took them to Vincent’s to have them repaired. Orlando, the owner waited on me and was very helpful. He charged me $ 14.00 for 2 new heels and advised me they would be ready in 3 days. I asked him where I might get my oil checked on my car locally as it burns oil and noticed a smell on my way to his store. He checked my oil for me!!! Now that’s customer service. Way above the call of duty! My car was very low on oil and he directed me across the street to the auto zone for oil. As grateful as I am for his help, this is a review about shoe repair. So, I picked my boots up on the following Saturday. Christian, Orlando’s son waited on me. He was just as pleasant and helpful as his father. He gave me my boots and they looked fantastic; like new. He also explained that Vincent’s is a family business that has spanned 3 generations. (50+ years). The quality of the work speaks for itself and the customer service is over the top. I will never take my shoes, boots or purses to any other place for repair or refurbish. These guys are true craftsmen. Give them a try!

I had to have my sons new cleats died all black. I thought it was impossible. He did an awesome job! They were done in a few days, at a very reasonable fee. I would highly recommend this shop.

After we moved to the area, we’ve been looking to find the best neighborhood/​family owned businesses for all our needs. A great shoe repair shop was near the top of the list. I cannot say enough great things about Vincent’s Shoe Repair. About every season or so, I come in and bring a crazy huge Mary Poppins bag of shoes for Christian to work his magic on. My pumps/​heels go through the ringer with my clumsiness combined with my constant running around at work and my boots are my fall/​winter weekend warriors that get pretty worn down.
Pro’s:
–GREAT customer service: always friendly, professional and kind!
–Impeccable work– all my shoes end up looking as good as (or often better than) new. They use quality materials on the heel tips, soles, and do a fantastic job cleaning, polishing and repairing.
–Fast service. I typically bring in 10 – 12 pairs at a time and they’re all ready for pickup in about a week or less.
–Experience: this family owned business has been around for decades. They know their craft, the community and they take pride in their work.
–Thorough and honest– Christian takes the time to walk through what he’s going to do with each pair of shoe and offers to show you the material he plans to use (he showed me a thick sole material he’d use for my heels that would provide better grip and greater durability and wear)
–Fair and reasonable pricing: actually a great value for the quality of work you get
–Convenient new location with easy access and plenty of parking.
Vincent’s Shoe Repair has become the only shoe repair shop I’ll go to and recommend. It just doesn’t get any better than them.

Took my work shoes & purse in for repair. My boots needed stretching & new soles & insoles. My purse needed a new zipper. The crew was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, & efficient. I can’t imagine throwing away shoes now knowing I can save my favorites. Thank you!!!

The place is increble. It’s a lot nicer than its original location. The people here are super friendly. Chris always takes care of the customers and always makes sure the people are happy with the work of the repair. Any question or concern that I had he always had an answer.

They did an absolutely AMAZING job with my Christian Louboutins. They replaced the heels and added matching red non skid soles to the bottoms. Very neat job-​attention to detail. Now I don’t have to worry about slipping and falling when I wear them

This is the place for whatever you want to fix related to shoes and boots! It’s a three-​generation family business that recently moved its current location, so had to start fresh with reviews here. The expertise and value for your money here can’t be beat!

Looking for a good cobbler or shoe repair shop is like panning for gold. Finding this shoe shop is like finding a gold nugget!
The shoe shop has been around a long time and they know how to repair shoes and even make a custom pair of shoes. Great for people with problematic feet. It is nice to find a shop like this which is able to repair a favorite pair of stores and extend its useful life.
Oddly, Unilocal wiped clean other older reviews because the shop moved and changed it’s address, relocating about 500 feet from their old location. Head southwest from the old location, diagonally across the intersection of Raymond and Whiting to find them.

This place is fantastic– Vince and Christian are nice guys and they do great work fast! The pricing was better than some other shops around and they pull through. I had an expensive leather briefcase bag repaired here and will definitely be back if I need anymore leather work!
Thanks Christian and Vince!

This is my first time here and I had a pair of Danner Acadia’s that needed new soles. Looking at their old Unilocal review I saw pictures of them working on shoes and it looked like they could handle my boots. I just picked them up and I am happy with the job they did. I’ll be coming back again when I wear out the soles of my boots. Turn around time for me was a week. Which was ok because I didn’t need them right away.

Excellent service and price. Had a jacket zipper replacement done and it is better than the original zipper. They also cleaned up the jack that I use with my motorcycle.. Great service guys

they used to be at 1258 East Chapman Avenue, in Fullerton. for some reason Unilocal refused to let them change the address, so they are having to start over with a brand new Unilocal page. for more reviews see their previous address’ Unilocal page:

Great work on shoe repair, average price, plentiful parking… I was charged $ 12 to replace the tip of the stiletto. Not the cheapest I paid, but not the most expensive either. I dropped off my shoe at 10am and picked it up at 4pm same day. From the looks of it, the guy works on all types of leather, not limited to shoes (I saw jackets and purses that were repaired). The store closes at 5:30 btw, not 5pm.
