The best customer service and quality of work. Would highly recommend for shoe cleaning/polishing needs. I'd forgotten to drop them off earlier and needed same day service, and they went above and beyond to make sure I got the shoes back in time for a wedding.

I have a vintage LV speedy that I was not using because of the handles, I asked the guys if they could add D rings so that I could add a shoulder strap. They were all so friendly, and professional. Not to mention they did an amazing job on the project. I am obsessed with the bag now, and so excited that I have a new expert team to help me maintain my leather goods collection.

Robert did a tremendous job on my favorite heels. I've had these cognac leather heels for over a decade and unfortunately they were deteriorating due to dry rot. Thankfully, the exterior leather parts were still in good condition, so Robert took the time and care to restore and replace the damaged parts with even better materials and fully reconstruct my heels. I'm very happy with the results and I'm looking forward to wearing them in the future.

I had an amazing experience with Robert's Shoe Repair! Robert made me a brand-new custom crocodile bag from scratch, and the craftsmanship is incredible. The quality, attention to detail, stitching, and overall finish came out absolutely beautiful. You can tell he takes real pride in his work and knows his craft. If you're looking for someone who can do more than just repairs and actually create high-quality custom pieces, I highly recommend Robert's Shoe Repair.

Robert's Shoe Repair is absolutely amazing! They brought my Gucci shoes back to life — they honestly look as good as new. The attention to detail, craftsmanship, and friendliness went far beyond what I expected. You're not just walking into a shoe repair shop; you're walking into a family business where they genuinely treat you like family. It's rare to find this level of quality and personal service anymore. They've earned a customer for life.

Did a great job fixing the sole on one of my old bowling shoes. The turnaround was fast, and the cost was much lower than I expected.

Totally revitalized my girlfriend's pretty worn down shoes — fixing up the bottom and the black dye came out great! Also gave some love to my scuffed leather boots and well conditioned them. Know it was a lot of work and it got me what we needed before a trip where we're proudly wearing the shoes. Thank you Robert and his son!

Took my husband's belt to get repaired and they fixed it on the spot! Great job and excellent service. My first time there and I will be back!

Love coming here. Very friendly service, convenient location, and great prices, highly recommended! I've been coming here for several years now and continue to come back because it's always a great experience. Their quality is unmatched whether it's everyday shoes, belts, handbags, or more delicate items that require extra attention to detail. They are true master craftsmen, and the work never disappoints.

My partner and I have brought our shoes to Robert for repair and to be brought back to life for many years. Replacing heels and soles and other tasks. Once I brought in a very nice pair of dress shoes that I love. I had spilled oil on one of the shoes making the pair not wearable when I needed to dress up. Robert was able to almost completely hide the damage to the stained shoe. I am an attorney and am now able to wear the shoes with a suit when I have to make an appearance in court. Excellent service, fair prices and very nice family!

Miracle workers. Brought some of my wife's boots in for heel repair / midsole rebuild, had them done in reasonable time with exceptional results. Writing now about my Redwing Resole… amazing. Turnaround was quick, price for each repair respectively was fair and justified. I got a vibram Resole and just look at em! In 6 months when I need another Resole I'll be back. The amount of heels and other shoes all over the store lets you know everybody wants to get their stuff fixed in here. Great shop, awesome people.

I came in less than 30 minutes before closing time, and Robert repaired the concealed double zipper on my favorite backpack right in front of me. The zipper was having two different problems — one slider had gone off the track entirely, and the other was immediately coming undone if I didn't zip it very slowly. He fixed both in about three minutes, and then wouldn't take payment! He just said to come back for a zipper replacement if I had the same problem again. It was the best and kindest service I have received anywhere in years.

Robert's Shoe Repair did an excellent job fixing my heels. The workmanship is high quality, the turnaround time was quick. Robert and his son Arman was friendly and professional. The repair looks clean and durable, and my shoes feel comfortable again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable and affordable shoe repair.

Masters. Simply the best. Been a loyal fan since their days in Silverlake. They have saved so many pairs of boots for me. I am eternally grateful for them.

Robert is easily the best cobbler I've been to in LA. I dropped off three pairs of shoes with complicated toe shapes to be re-soled. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail was incredible. I cannot believe how perfect each shoe was when I picked them up. As a bonus, Robert even glued a pair of rubber clogs that had ripped on the spot for free. They are kind, do quality work, and good turnaround times. Cannot recommend more.

I wish I could give more than five stars! Robert and his team saved me, my sanity and my feet — I bought a gorgeous pair of Nicholas Kirkwood gold leather slingback sandals for a wedding but the ankle straps were too small and tight to be comfortable. They found a perfect color match and extended the strap with perfectly matching gold leather so I could walk and dance more comfortably. The shoes are impeccably perfect! I wore them 12+ hours comfortably and danced for hours with no worries about the strap thanks to their handiwork.

I had a pair of shoes that needed new soles and one sandal in need of a new stud. They did a great job. I gave them a lot of time to do it, but I'm sure if you request to have them back sooner, you can request that. All told, it was $65. I think it's a fair price, not a great deal, but fair. Service was polite and friendly.

The outcome was perfect: both two leather fanny packs with their notoriously failing zippers as well as some boots were perfectly repaired. The service was not particularly fast but since I had no timeframe, it didn't matter to me. What counts was the professionalism, the skills, and the nice service.

This is exactly what a neighborhood shoe repair should be. The shop is small but relatively organized, and has all the legit machinery like that giant wheel that shaves down soles. Their prices and turnaround times are reasonable. The workmanship is very good.

They did a great job. I brought in a pair of boots I got at a thrift shop 10 years ago. The soles had come completely unglued from the upper, the heel was worn down, and some of the stitching was coming undone. He replaced the base of the heel, removed the unglued sole to replace it with a much more sturdy and non-slip option, and restitched the leather. They were ready almost a full week before estimated. They look and feel great! I will likely get 10+ more years of wear out of these now.

Great staff, great ambiance, very nice people. They fixed my boyfriend's sunglasses that lost a screw without charging us.

Great workmanship with reasonable price. It was my first visit today, and I will continue to come for shoe repairs in future.

Quality work, quick and family style service. What more could you ask for? Robert was exceptional in helping me repair two brand name shoes that are not on the market anymore. I was not optimistic at first, but he basically restored them and made them look like day 1. Robert also went above and beyond to address all my concerns and I can now confidently say this is who I will recommend all my friends and family to for all our shoe and leather repair needs.

Inexpensive quality work! I brought in some 10 year old sneakers that I really didn't want to throw away. Robert's restored the soles and they look brand new. I'll definitely be back with more!

I have a pair of shoes that I have had for years. I love them so much that I have worn them into the ground. They were basically falling apart. Robert's Shoe Repair made them like new! I am so happy that I will get to wear my favorite shoes for many years to come.

Heidi M. · Los Angeles, CA ·

Every shoe shop that I went to said that there was nothing they could do when one of my new shoes started hurting my feet. Robert took both shoes and worked on them for a few days. When I returned, they fit perfectly! Thanks for the care and consideration that you exhibited so that I was able to wear them to a funeral in Las Vegas. It was a challenging time and you made it a little better.

Robert repaired a few of my platform goth boots with amazing expertise and detail! Even the non-leather ones which are cheaper and the platform soles had come off. I don't have a before picture but he repaired a doc marten zipper that you can't tell the difference from the original, keeping their branded zipper and re-soling my prized everyday boots.

McKenzie E. · Los Angeles, CA ·

Robert is the best! If you need any high-end pieces repaired, he's your go-to. He left me absolutely speechless with the repair of my vintage Chanel bag — it looks brand new! This is definitely the place to trust with your treasured items.

Been coming here for years, they are simply the best. Always greeted with a smile, and service is amazing. Robert has the best prices and does quick and clean work. Highly recommend!

Super efficient, professional, and hands-down, great craftsmanship. I came in here for my doc martins where the sole was completely coming apart and they fixed it within 30 minutes and offered a really reasonable rate. Would definitely be coming back here.

I have brought boots, Vivienne's, and Louis Vuitton bags here. The repair is always quick and the price is super fair. You can trust them with your belongings :) thank you!

I came to Robert's after having an issue with a shoe repair done elsewhere. They fixed the squeak in my leather shoes (which I never thought was possible) and cleaned up the shoes beautifully. So happy with my experience here.

I brought in two pairs of heels that needed new heel caps and some repair on the soles. I picked them back up the same day. They were clearly handled with care, precision, and the price felt totally fair. Thank you!!!

Robert was able to repair a broken guitar case handle for me on a vintage Gibson Dove case. Really nice work and super quick turnaround for a lot less than I thought I would spend in LA.

Robert's Shoe Repair does excellent work that the business will back up, and it is a friendly place run by a competent professional who knows his craft. I recently went back for a repair on an eyelet, and had it replaced with a rivet. It's clearly better work than the original part had. I've had a number of repairs done here to both dress and casual shoes and it's always been great work, friendly service, and surprisingly affordable.

Jason M. · Los Angeles, CA ·

He does a great and speedy job. However, my favorite thing is when he shakes his head and says no when I bring shoes in that are beyond saving.

Glued and stitched toe area. Heavy play had broken the stitching and toe was opening up. $15.

You really need to search to see that this pocket was ever ripped.

I came here on a whim after looking on Yelp for shoe repairs. The logo on my Kate Spade slippers was loose so I wanted to get it fixed rather than tossing them away. I came inside and was immediately helped. They had to look for a screw to bolt down the logo which took a while but they got it done. There's metered parking in the front or on the side on Revere for free. I definitely recommend this place!!

How this page was put together

The reviews here were read off Robert's Shoe Repair’s Google Business Profile and its Yelp listing on September 2026, and they are quoted exactly as written — spelling and all. The star ratings and review counts at the top are whatever those platforms showed on that date; they move, and the date is printed so you can tell how fresh the number is.

Not every review of this shop is five stars, and the ones that aren’t are on Yelp and Google where anyone can read them. We have not quoted a review here that we edited to make better, and we haven’t asked anyone to take one down.

Bring it in. We'll tell you straight.

Robert quotes when he sees the item — and he'll tell you when a pair isn't worth saving. Call, or come by the counter on Glendale Blvd.
