Hong’s Shoes Repair

He does a great job! I’ve come here to get shoes cleaned, soles/​heels replaced, whatever. Always happy with the result.

I have been going to Hong’s for years and he is better than the shoe repair shops in the city. He takes pride in his work and it is seen in the results of the repairs. I have had soles replaced, heels redone, shoes shined and I have not been disappointed. He is honest and his prices are fantastic. A man who truly loves his work and who is always super friendly. Highly recommend this amazing cobbler! I have dubbed him «The Astoria Shoe Doctor».

Brought one of my faux leather boots here to stitch up the abrupt split in the inside shaft, next to the zipper that ran from the ankle to the upper calf.
The outcome is pretty self-​explanatory — see pic. I was stumped when I picked up my boots. He had told me at the drop-​off that the only way to fix it was criss-​cross stitch, and I said okay without qualms (as of I knew anything about shoe repair).
But I did not expect to see such aesthetically displeasing stitch. And to pay $ 10 for it. It looks like something I could’ve done myself (and I’m in no way familiar or adept at any type of sewing).
I was recommended this cobbler by a friend who’s a regular, and when I showed her my boot, she was stunned and apologetic for such poor quality.
He might be good with insoles and heels, but the type of repair like mine which required sewing — apparently not so much.

Amazing work! Brought 2 pairs of Louboutins to apply red rubber soles and fix the heels. They are practically like new! Highly recommend!

Just a heads up, the map displays the wrong location. It’s right by the Astoria-​Ditmars N and Q train station (last stop).
Great work, very friendly, and affordable prices! I had the inner sole and the heel of my boot repaired for $ 25.

This place is the best. Friendly, timely service, great prices, and he does a fantastic job. He never says no when I bring in a mangled pair of shoes. Just brought in a pair of Louboutins and he patched them right up — even the signature red bottoms! He’s the bomb.

This is the best shoe repair shop that I have ever been to I live all the way in Brooklyn and I refuse to take my shoes anywhere else he has fixes shoes for me that I thought could not be repair I highly recommend this shoe repair the service is just great. Desire from brooklyn

Fantastic service. Reliable, affordable, quick, and friendly. I’ve been coming here for about a year and a half now and I am very impressed. A small but charming store right off the Ditmars stop, making it convenient to pop into before or after work. This guy has the magic touch on shoes!

This is the place to go for your repairs. Shoes, Sandals, Flip Flops, Bags and Belts. Hong’s Shoes Repair is a staple in Astoria, talented and dedicated to his work. His work ethic is impeccable, always friendly and a quality human being. His prices are reasonable and you will definitely be satisfied with his work.

Since I moved Astoria, I’ve come to Hong’s. His is very friendly and very skilled.
And the price is very reasonable unlike some repair stores in the city.
I just got my sandal fixed, new cushions and painted the top, it was only $ 15. He usually asks me to wait for 2 days unless I really need to get it done quickly. He has never been late and never asked me to pay more than $ 20 to fix everything.
Whatever I need to get it fixed, he can do! One of my favorite sandal, the side was cut because I was running, I almost gave up on wearing them again, I brought them to him and he did fix!!! I was so happy to wear again!
I used to bring my shoes somewhere near my work in Midtown, I used to pay $ 30 for heels replacement, and had to wait for 5 days…
The store is tiny… right next to the subway station, he might need a bigger place,

Hong’s Shoes Repair has been in Astoria for many many years. I am so suprised their is not a Unilocal review for this awesome little spot! The guy practically makes magic happen when repairing my shoes. I have been coming to Hong’s for many years and so has my family. He has never let us down. He can fix anything from shoes to purses to whatever else needs mending.
For a heel replacement he charges just $ 5, which lasts for years…
I have had the soles of my very expensive boots replaced for just $ 15. His prices are very reasonable! His prices vary depending on the shoe type and how much work he needs to do. Very affordable!
Also on the plus side shoes are typically ready in 2 – 3 days. A bunch of times I have needed my shoes repaired for the next day and he is so accomadating :)
Love this hidden little gem!
