Beacon Hill Shoe Instant Repair

Very quick turn around. It cost me $ 30 to resole a pair of boots and they came out looking like new. Highly recommend!

Perfect. This place works for me because I’m able to pick up and drop off during the daytime, which both took me less than 2 minutes each time. That’s to say this is a no-​nonsense business, and I loved it.
I dropped off 2 pairs of boots — one to get new heels and one to have streched in the foot. I had no idea what to expect price-​wise or quality wise, but these both were shoes that if the services didn’t work, they were goners.
The man working said my shoes would be done the next day, even though I didn’t need them (and couldn’t come back) for about a week, so they have a really quick turnaround. I was also really pleased with the new heels, and the stretch in the boot was exactly what I needed to make them work. I think total cost was $ 30-​$ 35. Perfect.

Love this place. Does wonders for boots that I have put thru many years of abuse. Helps to be a regular because I had an emergency repair and no time to waste. Vadim had them done in 30 minutes. Highly recommend his work. Not sure why there are still bad reviews from 2014 but Vadim does a great job. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I’ve taken many different kinds of shoes in various states of disrepair here and they’ve always come back looking spectacular. They don’t just use glue, and you can tell that they take pride in their work. Look no further!

This is as good as it gets. I have used them for all my shoe repair needs for the last few years and it’s always a flawless job. The owner does a lot of the work himself and he is an old-​world master at his trade. They do a superb job every time with high quality materials and great craftsmanship. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone who needs shoe repair, big or small.

He has saved my shoes multiple times — I was there again today picking up another pair of heels where he added a rubber sole to the leather bottom and replaced the worn heels. He is timely and reasonably priced and can and should be trusted with the nicest shoes!

I dropped off a pair of boots that needed new heels and a pair of wedge heels that were coming apart at the front. I was initially quoted $ 23?. They wrote the question mark, so I assumed my final cost would be around $ 23 – 28. When I went to pick up my shoes, I was charged $ 43. I pointed out that my original slip said $ 23, but the man working that day didn’t seem phased, and I had to cough up the extra $ 20. The boots were re-​heeled satisfactorily, but the sandals had been half-​way re-​soled with a weird hard grey material that came up the front of the shoe and didn’t in any way resemble the original nude leather. Yikes!

Great quality of work, great service. Highly recommend.

Fantastic service. My wife, my mother and myself have been fixing our run down shoes at Beacon Hill Shoe repair for few years now and have to tell you that the service is beyond great. Vadim, the owner really knows his craft. Every time we dropped of some old and forgotten shoes they came out looking like new. I recommend this service to anyone.

Over charged and Under serviced. I was charged $ 60 to resole my Jcrew boots. Initially I thought the work was ok, but upon inspection I found that they only glued new soles onto my boots, which changed the way that the boot fit and did not replace the insole, which are now glued to the new sole, but still have a hole.
Very Disappointed.

I could not get back to my desk fast enough to write a stellar review for BHSR. Of course the day Juno rolls in to town the seam on my LL Bean duck boots rips apart between the sole and the tall/​body portion of the boot. I am devastated and having winter boots is not a luxury right now — it’s a requirement. Thankfully I work right across the street and ran over there to see if the seams could be fixed. I was told they would be ready in an hour — and they were! Both boots glued and sewed up like new for only $ 20 an the shortest notice possible. I have never had to use a cobbler before so I can’t compare to anywhere else, but I can’t recommend this place highly enough.
TL;DR: fixed snow boots in 1 hour for $ 20. Mastercard, VISA & cash only. Highly recommend.

I have brought four pairs of shoes here with excellent, consistent, quality results:
— (1) pair black heels to be polished after a terrible toe scuff that peeled some of the top layer, needed to be re-​soled AND have the interior re-​glued — perfectly executed, look like new
— (1) pair nude heels to be re-​soled, leather on heel fixed — also look like new despite difficult color to retouch
— (1) pair leather booties, re-​soled — perfect
— (1) pair vintage Ferragamo boots that were too tight; the owner wasn’t sure whether they could be stretched due to the configuration of the zipper, but said he would try them and would only charge me if it worked out. Just picked them up today, and they fit!
Everything all together cost ~$ 85-​$ 90. I have been to many shoe repair shops and this is an awesome deal — plus, he was able to finish everything same-​day except for the boots which needed more time to stretch.
The only negative is the hours — 7:00 AM — 5:30 PM Monday — Friday. Luckily, I live close by but I could see this as problematic for those outside of the neighborhood. The service is so good, however, that I am still giving 5 stars.

Excellent, excellent shoe repair! I brought in several pairs to be re-​heeled, re-​soled, and/​or repair tears and scratches, and everything was done in just a couple days, and done beautifully — some better than original. I cannot recommend this place highly enough; I’m so glad to have found it through an Amazon Local deal, but even without the deal the prices are better than reasonable. Take your shoes here, you will be happy you did; I will certainly be back!

I had read such great reviews and it’s right around the corner from my apartment that when my shoes needed fixing I didn’t think twice about bringing them over. However, the store advertises that it’s open from 7:30 — 5:30 Monday-​Friday and when I arrived at 7:50 on a Friday am, the store was dark and there was no sign hanging to indicate that it was closed for any reason. I waited until about 8:10 and then looked for another option. I appreciate that being a sole proprietor means you can have flexibility as to when you arrive but unfortunately it also means this shop lost my business today and in the future.

I had purchased an Amazon Local deal for this shop that gave me $ 30.00 worth of services for $ 15.00. It came in mighty handy as I had 2 pairs of boots and a pair of casual shoes that needed work. Turnaround for stretching, new heels and some minor gluing was less than a week and everything came out great. Saved my funky old Tsubo Mary Janes that I’d never find again! Location is very convenient– just a short walk from Park Street/​Red Line next to the State House. Rates are comparable to other city shoe repairs. The shop opens early but does not have Saturday hours. I would definitely use them again.

I have brought three pairs of shoes to this repair shop.
Excellent, reasonably priced, no nonsense service.
They do such careful, meticulous work. Never have been to better cobblers.

They saved my favorite Louboutins! It was a miracle! Nothing but love for Beacon HIll Shoe Repair!

I’ve only had heels replaced but they do very nice work and they’ll replace heels same day or even while you wait if they have time. The ambience is what I’d call «layered.» I think I saw someone getting a shoeshine here. You get $ 1 off your first visit if you pay with Levelup.

Dropped off a pair of ann demulemeester platform heels which retail for over a grand. The platform had broken because it was made out of cork (why anyone would use cork in a shoe that has to bend when you walk i dont know). Anyway, I wasn’t sure who to trust to fix them. I dropped the heels off here and within 2 days i had them back. They did a great job reconstructing the platform out of a more durable leather sole and kept the shape of the platform relatively similar. I would definitely be a return customer in the future.
total damage: $ 65

I dropped off a pair of black Allen Edmond Park Ave’s on Tues and picked them up Thurs. Paid $ 56 total. That’s great service in my book.
They essentially look like brand new shoes. The soles and heels are a different brand obviously, and only time will tell how long they’ll hold up.
The dude at the counter, Vadim, looked like a Russian mob boss but was actually really friendly. Highly recommend these guys.
