Montecito Orthopedic Service

I brought shoes in for heel repair or replacement. Owner talked me into repairing nicks on the heel with leather. Repair work would be about $10 less than new heels and would match original heel color better. I must say I am very disappointed with the results of "patchwork" job he did on the heel and told him as much. He said if I could find someone who could do a better job he would refund my $60. Needless to say I won't return.

They did an amazing job restoring two pairs of leather boots for me. I was nervous to bring in my treasured (and expensive) boots because of bad experiences with other cobblers, but I was immediately put at ease with how friendly and knowledgeable the business owner was. In addition to replacing the soles, we decided to add a thin layer of cushioned material underneath the outer sole to make them a little more comfortable for walking. They are literally better than new!!

I had two leather purses that were too long for me. The straps were too long. I decided to try this leather shop in Montecito Plaza. This place is in a strange location. It's down toward the water and behind the other shops facing the Canal. I was warmly greeted by the owner, Joseph who was very sweet. I paid $25 each for two leather alterations to make the long straps shorter. Joseph had me stand and took proper measurements to make sure everything looked right. I picked up my handbags a week later and they look fabulous! This shop does Orthopedic shoes, various alterations and shoe cobbling work. I am very pleased someone is still doing this kind of work with the attention to detail Joseph has. Wonderful store!!
