Shoe Hospital

Came for my bag repair. Awesome service and a great workmanship! Highly recommend him! Will definitely come back!

Came to shoe hospital for the first time to have my Chanel espadrilles looked at. The show itself was a big investment for me, but they were a terrible fit. Mr. Yoon pulled the Insole off to insert a padding piece that helped my once large espadrilles into the perfect fit!
Bonus: Mr. Yoon added a rubber sole to the shoes my booties to preserve my leather soles… all on the spot! No coming back 1 week later! :)

Found this place on Unilocal and decided to take my Louboutin and Valentino heels for a repair. The soles were all worn out and they were just very dirty overall. But with a reasonable price, my shoes returned back to its original condition. Was very satisfied with the result!
few tips:
–takes less than a week
–must pay beforehand IN CASH

Unbeatable professional service and quality work! Thanks Dr!
Picture says everything.

I had been searching for a shoe repair place for about the last 4 years after the guy I had been trusting my shoes with for many years decided to retire. My search is finally over. Thank you Jesus for the Shoe Hospital! And thank you mom for the tip!
I brought in a pair of my Louboutins, YSLs, Valentinos, and LAMBs in for some long overdue loving. My heels were scuffed up, the soles were getting worn down, and they were all just pretty much looking a hot mess. (This is what happens when you wear your nice shoes out thinking it’s going to be a casual dinner and drinks kind of night but somehow progresses into a balls to the walls kind of night).
Long story short… Bring your babies here! He will work miracles. Fair prices, great craftsmanship, awesome customer service!

I always come back here to get all of my shoes, boots and heels fixed. The owner is an artist and a magician. Don’t know how he does it~ but if you have any bags, shoes and even wallets~ he can fix them all!

I have a large old leather bag that ice owned for at least twenty years. The outside pocket was falling off. I took it in not expecting they’d be able to repair it invisibly but I was pleasantly surprised.
It was repaired quickly and efficiently.
I also brought in a Gucci duffel. I use it every time I travel, which is a lot, and I also have a tendency to overstuff it, so the zipper was coming loose at the seam. They fixed it and I couldn’t even see where.
All this was done in one day.
It’s a little hole in the wall and there’s not even any place to really stand inside and wait for your things but they’re quick and efficient.
I would have given 5 stars but deducted one because they’re definitely on the pricy side.

There are 2 words I’d like to say for this place.
1. Expert
2. More than expected.
I always had this «Balenciaga» wallet I bought from Barneys New York long time ago.
Stupid me, this was one of the impulse buying… when I was much younger.
The beige leather with gold deco was tempting but it got dirty so fast that I didn’t want to carry it anymore. So this wallet was sitting in my drawer for a decade and my husband read article about this Shoe hospital in Ktown, he took my wallet to this place.
I didn’t expect much from it because it’s leather and I had no idea they can do such a great job now it LOOKS LIKE BRAND NEW! Looks like it’s been a black color from the beginning.
I love it and I’m definitely going back here to fix any old handbags or shoes!

I came here to fix my vintage Chanel bag. He did a great job! So first, good price:))
This place is real shoes and bags hospital!
I recommend this place to my friends and I will come back here again!

Awesome service and very nice :)
See most recent pictures to prove it!
Owner restored my mom’s vintage Gucci purse piping on corners. So happy~

Amazing job on my Alexander Wang Rocco bag.
The boning stuck out after couple months of purchase. I was too busy to contact Alexander Wang customer service within the year. So on my second year, I explained my situation and was willing to pay them to fix it. Alexander Wang has poor customer service. Even though it was their faulty design and poor material choice that lead to many rococo bag owners to experience the same misfortune, they gave me some lame excuse and said they were no longer able to help me fix their product even though the boning ripped out of the casing within a matter of months after first purchase.
Shoe hospital explained in a reasonable manner that the weight of the studs and the thinness/​quality of the casing was at fault. He said he can fix it but I would have to be careful for the wear and tear in the future. I am a fashion designer and knew exactly what he was talking about. He did his magic and I am extremely happy in the way he fixed the damage.
Boo Alexander Wang. Never again.
Yay Shoe Hospital.

Came here to get my designer shoes resoled and he did a great job! also left my hub’s shoes to get a little fixer upper so still waiting on those so far. But overall pleased with the service.

Hopefully I will update this review because this happened a while back.
I had few of my shoes resoled and I had him fix the heel on one. He fixed it but he made one heel shorter than the other shoe. I kept telling him and he kept saying it’s the same. It was not! There was a guy watching and he asks him if they’re even. The guy said no! So then he goes oh, and tried to make the heel height even. My new pair of dolce and gabbanas where ruined because of him!
Not sure if he is still there but he was an older man.

I was really nervous to have someone repair my red bottoms, but u saw a previous review and decided to try this place! The man was very nice and gave me a deal! His work was so excellent I even tipped him extra! I will always come back to him and refer anyone with louboutin shoes here! They look brand new !!! Thank you!!!

I completely trust him! He really cares about his work and is very skilled. He fixed my favorite shoes, the sole is flawless. My LV bag, was hopeless and he was honest with me about it and did what he could to fix it. It looks great! I’m so happy with his work, I will be coming back and so should you.
Helpful tips: bring cash, prepare for him to be honest with you about your shoes or bag and have patience with his accent, he is kind and sweet.

Came here to fix my b bag and I’m so happy I did!
TWO studs on my Balenciaga city fell off and I needed to have them replaced. Rather than go to the Balenciaga store and wait forever and a day for it to be repaired, I opted to buy replacement studs on ebay and came here based on the glowing Unilocal recommendations.
The owner is a sweet, sweet man who obviously takes pride in his work. The repair was done quickly and I had my bag back (sans embarrassing missing studs) in less than a week! 5 stars and cash only :)

Two words. Miracle worker.
I took in my boyfriend’s timerlands that had gotten dirty after being worn on a rainy day. Prior to taking them in, he had tried cleaning them himself but ended up making worse. By the looks of it, they looked unfixable.
I wish I had taken a before picture to compare. Anyways, At first glance the owner said they were pretty bad and wasn’t sure if they were salvageable. He said he would try but no guarantee. After waiting about half an hour he came back out with them looking almost brand new! There were still a few spots here and there and some scratches that were not fixable but for the most part, they looked pretty good!
I’ve actually brought in a few other pairs of shoes previously. I had a pair of nubuck booties that got pretty beat up. He managed to somehow save them! He wasn’t able to save the color so he redid the whole shoe including the heels and repainted the shoe black. Same shoe, different look! :)

Came here to get two of my heels fixed. You know when the bottom of a heel gets messed up so that the metal is exposed, and every time you take a step not only are you a bit off-​balance but your heel also makes that obnoxious clicking noise??? Yeah, that happened to me, so brought my heels here and he was able to fix them perfectly! Seriously a godsend because apparently this happens to me more often than it should…
One of my heels only cost me $ 5 but the second pair cost $ 20 in total (both heels were messed up). He explained that the second pair was so expensive because I had waited too long after the metal had been exposed and so it would be more complicated, and he was right… I had worn those around procrastinating getting them fixed haha oops :/​Luckily he was able to fix both pairs and I was even able to wear the second pair on NYE and couldn’t even tell that they had ever been broken. So THANK YOU, I will definitely be back (because knowing me this will happen again to some other pair of my heels hahaha).

I have to be the 90^th five-​star giver for this amazingg Dr. Shoe!
I used to go to the one near my house but they take too long and it was pretty pricy then I found Shoe Hospital (thanks to Unilocal.)
I had to get my 2 pairs of Louboutin heels resoled. But only time I was available to stop by was after work so I called to make sure he doesn’t close too early and he actually waited for me for extra 20 minutes after the closing time! Yes, great customer service it is!
Then I visited again this past monday for the second time to get my prada suede heels shampooed and also to get my new leather boots soled. If I went any other places it would have taken longer and for more expensive price but he actually gave me 10 $ off on top of what was already very good price compare to other places I have been to. He told me to pick them up this coming friday afternoon but I called yesterday after work to ask if I can stop by before work (because it usually takes an hour to get to ktown (after 7pm) and he said they are already ready for pick up. And again, he waited extra 30 minutes for me! :) My shoes look great now! As a shoe-​lover, I think I found the right place. I have to come back to get my other shoes done to preserve them!
Thanks Dr. Shoe! :)

Hands down, this man is an artist and can repair anything. He was also very accommodating towards my situation and repaired my shoes within a few hours.
This past weekend, I was traveling for a wedding in LA and arrived at 3am Saturday at the JJ hotel in Ktown. After a delayed flight and stressful night already, I opened my luggage and discovered that my big bottle of hairspray EXPLODED all over my belongings, including the $ 250 nubuck suede coral shoes and clutch that I brought for the wedding. Luckily my dress was covered in plastic, but I was on the verge of tears because I had no time to buy another pair of shoes. I barely slept that night because of all the stress.
I Unilocaled this place that morning and saw what a great job he does repairing designer shoes and bags to make them like new, so I was praying that he could save mine. I came to him exactly when they opened at 9am. Because the shoes were nubuck, there was no way he could get the hairspray off the nubuck and make it look the same. Unfortunately my clutch was vinyl and it wasn’t worth it to repair. He showed me some swatches of paint on the shoes, and I was hesitant move forward because I almost thought they were impossible to save. But I trusted him instead of throwing them out. I had no time to go shopping for a new pair. He told me to come back at 12noon.
Just 3 hours later, the shoes looked even better than they were before the damage! Literally a MIRACLE, I couldn’t believe it. He transformed my hairspray-​damaged nubuck coral shoes into beautiful bright red leather shoes, and fixed them in time for the wedding I had to attend at 2pm. He said that it usually takes him a week but because of my situation he did it for me that same day, in a few hours nonetheless. I can’t even thank him enough for what he did for me, I don’t know what I would’ve done otherwise. He is pure talent with a big heart. Luckily I come to LA at least once a year, so if anything happens to these shoes again (or any of my expensive accessories) I know who to come to!
