Hahm Shoe Repair

Due to time and age, my pair of really beautiful white and black textured leather Tory Burch flats had turned an unsightly shade of yellow. And because of the texture and multicolor finish, I was left with either tossing said shoes into the trash or forking over $ 40 to Hahm Shoe repair, crossing my fingers and hoping the dye job (black) would turn out and save said shoes.
Well, it worked, mostly. My flats are nice and uniform, save a few very small spots throughout and I can tell the shoe pros paid extra special attention to ensure they dyed them the best they could. Are they perfect? No. But considering the circumstances, these folks know their options and they definitely know their way around shoes and handbags.
Pro tip: You have to pay upfront, so be prepared with cash or credit!

I was impressed by the work done at Hahm’s — I normally go to Ken’s but I was in the area and thought I’d try a new place. They looked at my luggage and shoes and suggested the repairs and told me they would be done in 10 days. 7 days later I got a call that they were ready to go. I went in and they did a great job on a new sole and heels for my dress shoes and repairing a broken strap on a suitcase. Prices were maybe a touch higher than I paid at Ken’s but the quality was good.

I’m impressed! My only other experience with a shoe repair had not been good, so I was skeptical about trying again, but when one of my teen daughter’s favorite wedges was torn apart in a high school hallway collision, and a major meltdown ensued, I found Hahm Shoe Repair on Unilocal,saw the reviews were favorable, and decided to give them a chance. I really didn’t think the shoe was fixable, but it came back as good as new. The repair is very sturdy and not visible – excellent work!

good little shop.

I had a pair of Allen Edmonds with a crushed heel cup that AE didn’t seem ready to fix and for a reasonable fee they opened them up, put in an insert, resewed them and polished them up. I had them do the heels on two other pair and couldn’t be happier with their work. I also like that they have oil based sole edge dressing available and other cool shoe and leather related items.

First shoe repair shop I went to said this could not be done for some reason, but this place was able to fix my work boots. I had a few missing rivets that hold the shoe laces in place, (4), got it done here for $ 20. Seemed a bit pricy to install four rivets, nor do they remotely match my existing ones, but this is for my beat to all hell 14 year old work boots that I was looking to save. Turnaround time was almost two weeks, about 4 days after I dropped them off did I get a call about pricing and repair time. Overall, job well done.
Their shoe lace selection is poor.

I’ve had a purse strap and stiletto heels repaired here. Both were done well and I’m very happy. It’s a small, family-​owned place. Kind of hidden if you don’t already know it’s there. This is the only shoe repair shop I’ve used though, so I can’t compare their work to anyone else’s. Both services were $ 12. I had only spent $ 27 for the purse, and the man at first asked me how much I paid for it and suggested I buy another bag because fixing the strap wouldn’t be worth it, but I told him but it had sentimental value. The shoes were leather and I had spent around $ 65 for them and they’re a very difficult style of shoe to replace (why are Mary-​Jane stilettos so difficult to find?), so I was content with spending $ 12 to fix the heels. I have some boots that the sole is starting to peel away so I will probably be back for those. Over-​all, no problems, good service.

Little mom and pop storefront in a convenient location. Had my stiletto boot heels replaced here for a good price. Picked up my boots on time, they were done well. Yay!
