Robson Shoe Repair

This dude is all you could ever wish for in a cobbler; skilled, fair, and honest.
You can tell the guy just genuinely cares about his customers.
I’ve never bothered to write a review, but I felt this guy deserved it.

I desperately needed the back of my Dr. Martens boots reinforced, because they were slouching. I decided to go to this place because the reviews were above average compare to the other shoe repairs in the area. The gentleman was very honest upfront of what to expect in terms of cost and aesthetics, and gave me an estimate of how long the work will take.
He called me back into the shop after a couple days to try on the boots because he added pieces to the inside of the boot. The boots were a bit big for me, so the addition made it a perfect fit. Then another couple days later, he called me again to pick up the boot. By this point, he was ahead of the schedule.
I went to pick up my boots on the date of his original estimate, and was very please with the result. It was by no means a work of art, but the stitching was well done and barely noticeable. The final cost was right on with his original estimate. Generally very pleased, and will return for my future repair needs.

he does great work. just wanted to let everyone know the address is not 520 robson tho… its 292 robson!

I read the reviews here and decided to give this place a try. It’s a bit more expensive than I expected, but the workmanship is really good. The shoe repairer is easygoing and shared tips of purchasing good leather shoes with me. Here’s what I paid for:
Leather Boots
— half sole replacement: $ 24/​pair
–heel saver replacement: $ 16/​pair (½″ flat and wide heel)
–heel corner replacement: $ 8/​pair
Bootie Sandals
— full sole replacement: $ 32/​pair
— wedge heel saver replacement: $ 16/​pair
free shoe clean and polish
Will I go back again? YES.

I’ve been here twice to have the heels and toes replaced on my everyday office shoes. The man who works here (I’ll get his name next time) does a great job. As a bonus he cleans and polishes my shoes a little as well.
It’s almost a steal for the quality of work:
2 heels replaced + 2 toes resoled + clean and polish = $ 34 all in
Not a bad deal at all.

I bought a pair of shoes that is just a smidge too large on one foot … if I’d gotten the smaller size, they would have been a smidge too small on the other foot … anyway, they were a really good deal, so I bought them.
Robson shoe repair has a good selection of various fillers to fix this type of problem– not really a repair, but the guy cared and wanted to help me out, and came up with a good solution. Next time I need something resoled, I’m definitely going with them.
