Lemon Grove Shoe Repair

Workmanship… Maestro Workmanship… I read other reviews for Nacho, he is a one man wrecking crew. I can’t fault him for the mad genius way he runs his shop. Nacho has killed it every time I have taken my Danner boots in for a tune up and resole. Danner Inc charges approx 200 bux to «Recraft» your boots. Nacho will deliver the same service for approx 65. I trust him with my 300 bux boots, I have resoled my work boots 6 times, they have never fallen apart nor had any defects.

$ 85.00 for work boot sole repair! I could buy a new pair for that price… Insane, took my business elsewhere!

Lemon Grove Shoe Repair is close to home, fast, friendly, affordable and they do a great job with shoe repair.

This place is annoying. I took my boots here for a repair, and they told it would take a few days. I came back WHEN THEY TOLD ME TO and then they told me they «need another hour.» okay, I drove pretty far. I was frustrated, to say the least. When I came back an hour later, the repair man saw me from the back, flashed me an «Oh crap» look, and started back on my shoe then and there. Now I’m waiting in their lobby, ten minutes later, still bootless. They haven’t even come out to speak with me.

I have been coming here for at least 10 years, and finally I am sitting down to write a review. The owner, Ignacio or «Nacho» as he likes to be called, is seriously the bomb. Super nice guy! The quality of his work and his attention to detail is superb… shoes coming out of there looking brand new every single time. Because of his work, I have had some of my shoes for a LONG time, 5 years or more, even the ones I wear quite frequently. Live in Chula Vista, and have tried other shops like Bonita Shoe Repair and others nearby but Nacho’s quality and work are unmatched, so I make the drive-it’s worth it!!! If you are leaving a lot of shoes for him to repair, I do recommend calling first to make sure they are ready, the guy is busy and it’s a one man shop.

Ignacio does amazing work! I love taking my shoes to him. He always has my shoes ready in just a few days and is very knowledgable about what he does. The shop is very clean and organized and it’s easy to find the accessories I’m looking for. I would recommended this place to anyone as he repairs men’s and women’s shoes.

Very speedy repairs on 2 different pairs of my shoes. The price was very comparable to other shoe repair places. My 2 pairs of shoes look brand new! Very pleased with his work.

I brought in my boots and they came out looking like new. Ignacio is very detailed. Definitely coming back with my next pair of shoes!

Don’t go to this place! This guy doesn’t know what he is doing and does sloppy work! He ruined my shoes and wouldn’t even discuss it because I didn’t keep the litte green receipt to show as proof he did the work. Mind you it was just 3 – 4 weeks ago. He immediately became defensive. Prior to this, I had been a regular customer. He knows I was telling the truth. I will never go there again. There is another shoe repair up the street across from Albertsons in Lemon Grove who will get my business from now on.

Ignacio repaired my wife’s boots and made them look like they were brand new. Great craftsmanship!!!

Expensive.
Lady didn’t want to give me a discount even I brought several shoes and said I will bring more.
I was in a rush, so when noticed the high price it was too late and didnt have time to go back.
A sandal I thought will be well fixed was just glued, and I got charged 8 dollars, I could have done that myself.
And for putting new lids on the hills for some pair of shoes I got charged $ 12, each pair.
Wont go back.

In a nutshell, work is good. But the owner is rude and disorganized. So if you want ok or good work but bad service, come here. Picked up some boots but job was not ready on the day he promised. Wanted to make us come back tomorrow. After pushing back, he had us wait 10 min to finish the job.

I love vintage boots. The zip up the ankle kind. I’ve been wearing them for years. Every time i find a pair in a size 8, i have to buy them up. Usually in places like England, or Louisville, KY i have gotten lucky, so when i find them, i have to keep them up. Shoe repair places are a dime a dozen, but this place does legit great work. They even patched the holes in the leather on the tips of my toes that 3 other shoe repair places said was unfixable. I just dropped up my favorites for a resole and new heels. Credit cards accepted and NO CHARGE for using them anymore. Looks like they learned their lesson.
$ 50 and i know they will look brand new again.

The work is good which is why the shop got two stars. The real problem is the guy who owns the shop is disorganized, rude and worst of all surcharges you for using a credit card which is illegal in CA. I have reported him to Visa and the CA Attorney General. Don’t let merchants take advantage of you like this!
