What can one say about Fred? Quite possibly the best remaining cobbler in the area. His talent for instinctive creative repair is excellent, as is his warm humor and kindness. He is as equally gifted with high end luxury items like Christian Louboutin shoes as he is with the basics like leather sole repair and protective toe taps. The next time you visit Lambertville, bring your shoes and handbags with you and stop on down the alleyway to see Fred!

A classic, old school shoe repair place. As soon as I walked in the door I knew I found the right spot. I brought a pair of my grandfathers vintage Dan Post cowboy boots in to see how they could be stabilized and brought back to life and he did a wonderful job. No upselling, no gimmicks, just good work.

I’ve brought him shoes I thought were a lost cause, and he’s made them look new again. He’s helped me redesign old shoes to make them modern, and he’s given new life to my favorite Jack Spade totes. He’s honest, professional, and incredibly talented. I’m taking him two pairs of boots today, and I know he’ll make them amazing; better than new.
