Mikes Shoe Repair

For all of the great reviews, I was really unimpressed with this spot. My brand new shoe needed a half sole for traction. I explained that the sole of the boot was too slippery as is. Charged me $ 30 for a half sole (no work on heel needed). I paid cash-​in-​full upfront, as requested. Because I wasn’t in a rush, they said it would be finished in 7 days. My main issue was the quality of the sole they used for the price they charged. I’ve been having my soles replaced for years, and have never had to pay more than $ 20 for a half-​sole job. The traction of the rubber they use is sub-​par.
From what I see of Unilocal photos, it is the black material pictured in photos #17 and #38. Unfortunately, it felt slippery once again as soon as I tried them after the service. They are a high heel boot and need to maintain traction on various walking surfaces, such as marble and hard wood flooring. For safety reasons, I don’t feel comfortable walking with this sole and I’m out $ 30. To describe the traction in more detail, it is the type that is already half-​way worn down after one day of light wear. After another use, I’m sure the traction will be completely gone. I would have gone back, but I got the impression he would have tried to charge me again to make it right. Overall, very disappointed with the service here.

I love my shoes but I abused them daily by throwing in my car, walking, and running in rocks, driveways n you name it. I always have to get them clean and repair constantly. I tried shoe most popular show repairs places but this one is the best ! Better work and better prices. Mike and
his staff are great. They even dye my Prada bag from white to black. Great job ! Thank you Mike.

Mike does great work and is very honest. I had him replace the heels on a pair of dress shoes, and today, he advised me not to repair my bowling shoes because he said that they couldn’t be repaired in a way to ensure that they wouldn’t come apart again. I highly recommend paying him a visit the next time you need your shoes repaired.

this guy is the best i, v ever had work on my basketball referee shoes.
i send a lot of basketball referees to mike. he just keep doing a awesome job. they all love his work.

I called over to Mike’s because the handle on my expensive LV purse broke. Was only going to be in town for about 24 hours before flying back home & Mike said «no problem, bring it in». Fixed my purse beautifully in less than 2 hours. Simply the best. I will be bringing all my LV bags to Mike’s when they need some TLC. Thanks Mike!

I bought a brand new pair of leather boots, they went up just below the knee. They were beautiful, but the shaft around my calf was wayyyyyy too big. Comically oversized. I took them in and they were able to take them in several inches to where they properly fit all the way from the ankle up. It cost $ 65. Worth it for a now perfect pair of boots. I regret not taking before and after photos.

The service and quality is top notch! I came in with soft bottom boots and mike completely updated the boot! He replaced the sole to be hard bottom to help make the boot last longer! They repair your boots in a great timely manner as well. I will bring all my shoes here in the future!

My shoe strap ripped! I don’t remember this happening but I looked at my shoe one day and one of the many straps was no longer attached.
Thank goodness for Mike’s! I went in and told them there wasn’t a rush on it or anything. I think he said it’s be ready in about two days. I believe it cost me maybe $ 10, prepaid. I returned a couple days later and my shoe was as good as new! Thank you!!!

Conditioned and dyed my Chanel purse real nice-​looks perfect!

I showed up with boots that have seen many hours on the fireline. They were beaten and needed new soles. When I got back my Cosmas Hercules v2 they are amazing! Cant thank you enough.

They have exceptional abilities. I’ve taken my boots there several times and they always come back looking like brand new.

You know when you have a pair of shoes that (at the time) you wished you would of bought 3 pairs of the same shoe. Well, I didn’t, so I searched for a repair store. Mikes repair shop, these guys are AWESOME! Professional! My shoes look brand new, and when I brought them in they were falling apart! And they offer Military discount too!
THANK YOU GUYS!
As long as I’m here you are my shoe repair guys.
xoxo

He did my wedding shoes people! Hands down the best in shoe repair and shoe customization in town

Mike is an artisan. A rare craftsman who not only has mastered his profession, but also manages to find excitement and artistry in his work. My experience with mike starts with an unique pair of leather shoes I purchased at Goodwill for 3 dollars about two years ago. I used the solely (hehe) for swing dancing, and as such they saw plenty of use and abuse. The novel woven pattern of the leather kept me from polishing them and soon enough they began to show their age– I knew it was time for a spa treatment. I began the hunt on Unilocal and was astonished to find that Mr. Mike had racked up a litany of excellent reviews. I waited two weeks before I had the opportunity to make my way over to his shop in China Town. The interior of his shop smelled like a tangy hot sunrise. The odor of leather mingled with a soupçon of other smells of the trade: polish, rubber, glue. Then around the corner comes the smiling face of the eponymous Mike. He greets me and begins to peruse my shoes. He talks over my shoes like an archeologist might over some ancient bits of pottery, remarking on their originality and speculating on repairs. We settle on all leather soles (for dancing) and a polish. The cost is more than affordable for someone who paid a pittance for the shoes initially. I leave with a charming pictures of my shoes, held by Mike, before their transformation.
A week later I returned to Mike’s place of business buzzing with excitement as if it’s Christmas morning. He pulls a bag from his shelf brimming with other completed projects and removes my shoes from the bag. They scintillate in the sunlight, glittering scales on some exotic koi fish pulled from some mythical pond in the heavens. I may be waxing a bit poetic at this point but the shoes looked phenomenal. Brand new even. Certainly better than when I got them. And the full Italian leather soles are a sight to behold. Like a teenager with a new car, I am itching to test drive these puppies on the dance floor!
Thanks again, Mike. You’ll be my go to cobbler until you close up shop.

This place was great! I would highly recommend it. Quality and workmanship is excellent. The only slight downfall was the price. I have not had shoes soles and heels repaired in a while but i found it slightly pricey. But I ended paying $ 140 for three sets of sole/​heel repairs and one leather cleaning. At the end of the day I thought it worth it as the boots cost hundreds more. Very happy with the results. Highly recommend!

Here’s a review of how procrastination and wrong timing led me to Mikes Shoe Repair. For work I wear dress pumps. Nothing crazy, usually in the 2 – 3.5 inch range and like most girls, I have many different options but usually end up rotating my favorite four. Well, I ended up wearing out all of the heel tips except my least worn nude pumps. So what do I do? Get them fixed, right? Wrong! I wear only grey, navy and chocolate dress pants that match with my nude pumps. Until the day I’m at work and almost slip because one of my heel tips came completely off and leaves me walking on the metal screw.
At this point I’m pretty limited of options. I can run to the mall but I’m at work and I can’t be rushed to make these kind of decisions on the fly. So I take to Unilocal and search for a shoe repair spot that’s close to me. I find one, take a drive, assuming they would be open as it’s a pretty regular day. Crap! Closed ⁴⁄₂₀ and reopening for usual business on ⁴⁄₂₁. I take to Unilocal again and find Mike’s. I make the 10 minute drive and I’m glad I did.
I walked in and pulled off the heels asking if he could help me. The man behind the counter smiled and asked me to have a seat. In less than ten minutes I walked out with brand new tips for a reasonable $ 8.50 charge. They were shaved to fit and put on with care and whatever tips he used, I love. I no longer sound like a galloping horse on hard surfaces. Maybe their rubber who knows!
I’ll be back with the other pairs for sure. The man that helped me was polite, the place was to be expected and I noticed some high end shoes being repaired there as well. You don’t spend hundreds of dollars on designer shoes and give them to a hack place to fix them!
Check them out, you’ll be glad you did!

My go-​to pair of Aldo boots I’ve had for years, recently started to show increased heavy wear. Rubber caps came off, the fabric around my heel looked like someone chewed it off, and color spots.
I was bit nervous to drop off the shoes, for the shop to tell me how horrendous the condition of boots were in, but they didn’t blink an eye and made sure it would look like new and told me how they would replace the fabric around the heel to leather. I was quoted a reasonable price and quick turnaround time of 1 week.
Got my babies back and they look great, I’m so glad I’ve got my fave boots back in A shape and have got a new spot to bring all my shoe needs to!

I definitely would recommend this shoe repair over Shoe Lab which boasts as the number one shoe repair in Vegas. I’m actually surprised that shoe lab is even still in business. With that being said, Mike is very thorough, delivers in a reasonable time and explains his process. I’ve now had a few shoes taken there and I needed my boyfriends shoes shined for an event last minute and he did them within ten mins as I awaited.
Great place, easy to find and I will be bringing all my shoes in there now!

This was the best shoe repair experience I ever had! I brought in shoes that are almost 30 years old. The heels seemed to be beyond repair, but Mikes fixed them WHILE I WAITED, and charged me an incredibly reasonable rate. They are my favorite pair of shoes, and had been sitting in storage for more than 10 years, after being worn to death… or close to it! Now, they look brand new, and I am never taking my shoe repair business anywhere else.
The shop is clean, easy to find, and the people there were super nice and polite.

I came here because of Michael U’s review. I had a pair of sandals that I bought and wore them twice when one of the straps popped. Dropped them off and had a less than 24 hour turn around.
I was charged $ 6.50 which I felt was a little steep seeing as it was basically just a few stitches on the side of one shoe — especially when Michael’s fix was cheaper and required more than thread to be used.
Oh well, my shoe is fixed so I’m happy and that’s what counts.
