Fox Chapel Shoe Service

I was in need of new taps and a shine. With out hesitation, they immediately took care of me. No wait. Best spot in Pittsburgh!

This place is great. I wear heels and typically have to have the heel cap replaced. I think they do a wonderful job and it’s speedy! Recently I took a leather purse in to have it cleaned and freshened up. It came back looking good as new. I have seen many other designer bags in there like LV, YSL, etc. so I think he can handle anything you have. I took a suede jacket in that took some abuse this winter and picked it up today and was very impressed! Just an FYI, its prepay! I have lived in many cities across the US and believe his prices are extremely fair!

This place is awesome! Why you ask? Well, let me tell ya. The first time I came to this place was to find a decent shoe shine for my husbands salted out shoes. Anyway, I chose this place due to the high reviews and close proximity to where I was.
Now this place has no frills but it has the delicious smell of leather all over the place ans a couple of chairs and table if you want to wait for your shoes. I actually dropped off two pairs of men’s shoes and they were ready within 30 min and they honestly looked like new.
Fast forward a couple of weeks, and I found the need to see if one of my leather boots could be salvaged as the heel was basically down to a nub. Well I take my little boots and they tell me that not only can they replace the heel they can give them a nice shine. All this work was to take about a week which I was more than happy to wait as these were expensive boots and if I can keep from trashing these I will.
When I come back to pick up my shoes, the girl working the front desk grabs my shoes, which do not look like the same pair. I honestly think that they look brand new. The heels are replaced and my black leather boots are clean and shiny like the first time I tried them out in the store.
I am so glad that these boots were fixed and I think that I saved myself some cash by having these repaired. I honestly didn’t know that getting your shoes repaired could almost turn back the clock! I will say that I plan on returning not only to have any shoes shined but to have any sort of leather goods repaired (they fix fancy purses and belts too!)

I cannot recommend this little shop highly enough. I have taken many things to be repaired there over the years — from heels to bags to boots — and they’ve been repeatedly returned not just fixed, but revived. I am the kind of person who will wear something to the ground, and I can be sentimental about my accessories. My Dr. Martens motorcycle boots have been with me for five years, and I cherish them. My Il Bisonte messenger bag, well, I’ve had it for 12 years and it is my prized possession. I just dropped both off at Fox Chapel Shoe Service — the boots for a complete re-​sole and the bag for repairs that will require the addition of new leather. I’ve resisted this for a very long time (the leather on my bag is very worn and very beautiful) but I know I can trust them to do it right. I would pay a premium to keep both my boots and my bag in good shape, but here I don’t have to — their prices are exceptionally reasonable for the quality of service, and turn-​around time is quick. I’m so glad to have found them.

I took in a very nice pair of leather boots to have shined and waterproofed. They did an excellent job in a timely fashion during a very busy time of year (the holidays). It was also very well priced! I recommend them for any repair, cleaning, or preserving.

I took a high end designer purse to be fixed here! It turned out better tan expected! The fixed the strap without any hint of repair! They do a great job on shoes! Great place to do business!

Been taking shoes here for years. It seems as if they are willing to tackle any shoe repair at a fair price. The staff is responsive, friendly and ‘customer satisfaction’ focused. I refer to them as «The Shoe Doctors». I highly recommend this service.

My wife has been taking all kinds of shoes and boots here to be cleaned for years. She’s always been very happy. I recently dropped off a pair of my own boots to be repaired. It was a pair I’d had for over 10 years. My favorites. The leather had completely torn out of the soles, the soles themselves were full of holes, cracked and falling apart, and the heels were worn down to almost nothing. Honestly, I would have had no problem if the folks at Fox Chapel Shoe Service would have said, «Sorry, we can’t save these. They’re beyond repair.» But they inspected them, and said they’d be ready in a week. A week and one day later (who cares if they’re a day behind if they’re doing quality work, right?) my wife picked them up. When she brought them home, I was shocked. They looked like brand new boots. Re-​soled in beautiful leather soles, perfect hard rubber heels, new insoles, and they were cleaned and polished up, too! And, I do believe I smell some kind of waterproofer or other conditioner on them! My wife tells me the man at Fox Chapel Shoe Service apologized for this shoe repair being so expensive. He must be crazy! IT ONLY COST $ 65! I would have paid him $ 165! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. They’re the masters, as far as I’m concerned.

They repaired my laptop bag for a tiny fraction of what the luggage store wanted to charge. Repair was completed when promised.
