Mills Shoe Repair is a reliable and accommodating business. The owner is willing to go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction, staying open late to fix urgent repairs. Prices are reasonable, and services include key making. The shoe repair work is of high quality, with attention to detail and a commitment to using traditional techniques.
I came last minute to fix my zipper on my sling bag, cux I was traveling the next day, and he kept the store open an extra hour for me so he can fix it, and yes I left an extra tip, I'll be coming here from now on

Every thing was fine. EXTRA star for exception made. Place is tab bit dusty. Quoted shoe would be reasdy by next day. Cash Only for payment. Shoe repair llooked & felt sturd.

I was pleasantly surprised when I popped into Mills Shoe Repair last week. I had been looking for a place close to DTLB. This place is just west of the 710 off of Willow. Seventy year old Mr. Kwang Nyon Kim has been operating the shop for about 40 years, according to the 2021 Long Beach Post article framed in his shop. His wife who used to work with him, passed away a few years ago. He was busy when I came in but he responded when I rang the bell. I had read on Yelp that it is a cash only business; so come with cash! Within 5-6 minutes he replaced my heels on my favorite and very old black pumps. $13! The shoe repair business is challenged by the abundance of inexpensive shoes that folks don't want to repair plus the wearing of more comfortable athletic type shoes. But if you're like me and have a few favorite shoes and boots that you want to keep fo'ever, check this place out. Parking available on the street.
