    Excellent shoe repair with very good resonable prices. Most other places are twice as much. The quality of the final product is amazing. I highly recommend anyone to take your shoes here for repairs. He is a magician. I highly recommend this shoe repair.

    Dropped off a pair of boots Tuesday to get new outsoles and put new padding on the insole. Was told it'd be done Friday. Was not completed when I arrived but they went out of their way to make it right and dropped them off to me by ends day. Couldn't ask for better service than that. Total cost-$90 for nee Goodyear outsoles, added cork to footbed, added cushion to leather insole. Cleaned and painted boots. Overall I'm happy with the job and hope it lasts for a couple of years more. Also included warranty.

    It’s the first time I’ve ever gone to this place and first time I went to get shoes repaired ever. I brought some mules/clogs here and they were pretty bad. I was worried they were long gone cause they’re one of my favorite pairs, the shoe repair guy even told me these were in poor condition, but idk what he did! He worked his magic on my shoes. I picked them up today and they were like new! I’m so happy I got my shoes back to how they were when I first got them. I think it’s a couple that runs the business, but both the woman and man that helped me were very warm, welcoming and kind. Thank you sooo much El Choclo! The best!
