Show Wiz Shoe Repair

Alex is absolutely fantastic! This store is a little gem in Sherman Oaks. He is a miracle worker. I took shoes to him that I was ready to throw away and they came out looking like new. I would highly recommend this shop to everyone. Thank you Alex for always doing a great job!

I read a lot of Unilocal reviews before coming here. I have a pair of 25 year old boots that were passed down to me by my sister. I needed new soles put on them, and to have some zippers repaired.
I’m really disappointed. It’s been 3 weeks since I picked up my beloved boots and the soles are already wearing extremely thin. The zippers don’t match, and I had to go back once to get it fixed. He didn’t make my zippers match, which made no sense.
It really just sucks. I wish I would’ve gone somewhere else. The guy who works here is really really nice, and has a great attitude… But I just didn’t have a good experience and I feel kind of jipped.
Not to mention, the last time I got my soles replaced they lasted for 2 whole years. These have lasted for 3 freaking weeks and are already giving in. It seems like cheap quality to me. Wasn’t worth it. These are my favorite pair of boots, once I’ve worn in to perfection… And they weren’t given the attention they should’ve been.
Not coming back. Two stars just cause he’s a nice guy. Not so much a show wiz

AMAZING! this place was recommended to me by a friend and i’m so glad i came here. i found a pair of very expensive designer boots online that i managed to get for a great price BUT they had been altered with some elasticated panels. Alex managed to remove the panels and take them back to pretty much their original state! could not be happier. he did a fantastic job and i cannot recommend him highly enough. i would give 10 stars if i could! AND he had them back to me in less than a week! this is now my go-​to shoe place!

I found this place on Unilocal and decided to take my shoes there due the reviews I read.
It was the beat thing ever, excellent service and my shoes look like new, so happy!

I’ve taken several shoes to be repaired and always been very happy. Great prices, convenient hours, and they do really good work. I highly recommend.

I took in these pair of boots to have the heel repaired. Alex said he would clean them up. And clean them up, he did! They look frickin’ brand new! I am so excited to wear them tonight. And yes, his service is beyond reasonably price. He is a nice guy and does great work. I will bring in my other favorite pair of boots and let him work his magic! I think he gets a kick on seeing how happy he makes people. ;-)

Thank you Unilocalers, once again! I would not have found Show Wiz Shoe Repair without you. It is close and convenient, and the work product is professional. I had new soles put on a pair of shoes that I loved but had waited too long to take in. I got back a beautifully repaired shoe, better than I could ever hope for. The price was fair and the owner was friendly and appreciative. A good, sound local business that deserves the praise.

Alex helped me such a nice guy and good price … Thank u 5 stars bringing all my heels to him

I’m in complete disbelief of this business. I was originally going to eddies show repair across the street but they had a sign on the door saying they were on vacation. So I Unilocaled the next nearest repair shop and walked over to this place, which according to Unilocal was on the corner that is currently being occupied by a furniture store. The manager at the furniture store said they often get people looking for a shoe repair, but there isn’t one at that location…
So I decide to call the place. All the while I’m parked 2 blocks away in 90 weather carrying 4 pairs of boots to be fixed. Standing outside looking for the address. And finally a guy answers the phone, I begin to ask them where they are located and he simply goes «I DONT HAVE TIME TO TALK» and hangs up in my face! Seriously? I’ll take my business elsewhere. That’s no way to treat a customer!

Came here because of the good reviews. I went in there with low expectations for a pair of designer heels that literally broke off. I’m a pharmaceutical rep so I’m always in heels on concrete — thus it wasn’t a surprise. I also dropped off two more pairs that needed the heel fixed. He asked me when I needed it. I asked to pick up in two days. To my surprise I came back with three perfectly fixed heels. Including the one that totally broke off! He’s very affordable and runs a great business. I will recommend him to all my friends in the valley.

Fixed my favorite sandal! All is good as new! Thank U! Place inside REEKED of fresh cigarette smoke tho… Not ideal. But great service, price & craftmanship… Thats what counts overall. Was glad my shoe didnt smell like smoke either!

Great place. They’ll tell you what exactly is wrong with your shoes and what they will do to repair them. My 20+ year-​old wingtips soles were literally falling off. After a few days at this shop, they looked like new underneath and the re-​construction was strong. Reasonable price.

I found this place through Unilocal.I brought a pair of boots that I’ve had for years. The owner was really nice to me and he did a great job fixing the sole of my boots. The work was great, fast and very inexpensive.

My heals had worn off from my high heals. I took them to Show Wiz today and within an hour they were fix! Such fast service! Nice guy too. Very happy :)

My pre wedding savior! Alex is my prince! 3 days before my wedding I came in a nervous wreck with shoes too big — he put me to ease, solved my shoe dilemma and even shared about his sons recent wedding! I love Alex!

I dropped off 2 pairs of designer shoes and they did the minimum as far as fixing them but charging the most. The owner (male) is nice but the woman is defensive and rude and mean. Now i have to take my shoes to be fixed properly because this place sucks.
Don’t expect to get good service from her unless you are Armenian. Forget about this place.

Based on the rave reviews, I took a pair of boots and a pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos to be re-​heeled. The boots look great. The Jimmy Choo’s…well, after 3 hours of walking around on carpet, the first heel came off, resulting in damage to the shoe. Shortly after, the second one fell off. Now I know why the prices are so cheap.
This was the shoddiest workmanship imaginable, using the cheapest materials possible.
if I could give them 0 stars I would.

I have huge calves but I love high boots, and nearly every pair of boots I buy don’t fit until I get them stretched. I’ve faced a whoooole lot of cobblers flat out turning me down and not even trying. I’d taken to sending my shoes back home to my mom to have our local cobbler stretch and repair them there.
I have a gorgeous pair of black leather riding boots I’d picked up from Nordstrom rack that never fit, so I tried my luck and took them here to be stretched. I was terrified when he measured how much they needed. My last cobbler (in Boston) tried 4 times on a pair of boots and actually jumped up and hugged me when they finally fit.
Alex did these in ONE try. It was seriously a miracle. I went back a few days later and they zipped up and fit perfectly.
He charged me $ 40 for stretching and for repairing one of the broken zippers. I’m still ecstatic about them.

Again I fought with my GPS. This shop is located within the shopping complex where Chimneysweep, Beat Fitness etc near Moorpark (closest to Manny’s) is not a street frontage closer to Ventura which my GPS insisted.
Dropped my boots off to repair the heel and got them back in a reasonable amount of time for a reasonable price all nice and cleaned too.
In return I gave him the same boots, different color, I bought at the same time but have never worn because when I did decide to wear them, I couldn’t get my left foot in and it was too late to return. Weird huh?
Pretty sure this is my new shoe repair guy!

Alex is the best. I came in with 2 badly damaged boots in need of some tender loving care and Alex fixed the boots without a problem. I dropped 2 pairs of boots off on a Wednesday and there were done by Friday morning. A bit pricy, (2 shoes came out to around $ 35), but they look great. I would definitely recommend Show Whiz Shoe Repair to anyone in the area!
