McCully Shoe Repair

The owner is such a nice guy. His prices are extremely reasonable and he fixes my shoes very quickly!

I needed a vintage patch to be sewn on to a duffle bag very quickly for a last minute gift. I went to so many places previously who told me that they couldn’t do it. I didn’t know that sewing a patch on a duffle bag requires a special machine only usually found at luggage repair shops. Finally, I went to McCully shoe and luggage repair and the man there said he could do it for me! It was $ 8 but he did it in less than 5 minutes and the work was perfect! The patch was perfectly centered and he even used identical thread matching the boarder of the patch so you can hardly see the thread marks! Highly recommended!

If you like high quality shoes, you need to love a good cobbler! These guys have given new life to a few pairs of my favorite French and Italian shoes. Great work, good prices and friendly service. I always leave with a big smile and excited to wear my shoes that have been resurrected!

He completely save two of my Jeffrey Campbell shoes. He helped to make the heels especially more solid. For both shoes it was under $ 40. You should follow what he recommends.

Brought my Ferragamos which were in dire need of repair. Not only did he repair them, but he made them look brand spankin’ new! His prices are fair (You need to pay commensurate to the quality after all!) I have since taken all of my expensive designer shoes for him to repair/​put tips on. Great guy and great workmanship.

Recommend highly. Fast, no-​nonsense, and priced better than shoe repair shops I’ve tried downtown or on Windward side. Family-​run for more than 25 years. (Park on Citron or Waiola.)

Awesome! I was in and out in under 5 minutes. Needed new heel tips for my favorite pair (I’d worn them down to the nail, eek!) so I called ahead to ask if he could same-​day; he told me he’d do it while I wait.
I walked in, he took my shoes, did his magic, gave them back, I paid him his $ 8, and that was that!
He’s rather quiet and soft-​spoken, so don’t expect tremendous customer service, but he’s plenty pleasant for five minutes of your time!

Live nearby. Wanted to get new heels on some boots. The owner told me I only needed taps for the time being. This would save me money. So he put plastic taps on my slanted heels. I could peel it off with my finger on one of the boots. He told me, once I stand on it, it would adjust as he put long nails into it. NOT! It popped right off when driving. What a waste of money. I will go to Joe Pacific from now on. The parking at this store here, on McCully, is horrible. Not satisfied at all. I tried him before, and thought, well, I’d give him another chance. I learned a lesson.

Needed to have a thick label sewed on to a canvas bag. After looking at it, Richard said he will do it right now if I could wait a few minutes. He did it in about 6 min. and it cost me $ 8. What a great deal. He did a good job on it and I’m happy it was done right away. I didn’t need to come back and look for parking again. The parking is the only thing that I didn’t really like cuz there is none except for street parking on the side roads.

Mad skills. I had the entire soles of a pair of boots replaced and they came out looking even better than new.
I took in my Blundstone boots in for a repair because the soles were starting to fall apart. They’re more of work boots with rubber soles than fancy dress boots, so Richard was skeptical at first on whether the repair would be feasible or worthwhile. He asked me, «you really like these boots eh?» and I said yeah I do. With that, he quoted me and told me to come back tomorrow afternoon.
Really? Just one day to turn this around? I thought the glue would take at least a couple days to dry…
I went back the next day, and sure enough, he was done. And he had done a marvelous job of resoling my beloved boots. He sewed on a new permanent layer, then glued on the Vibram soles. The stitching created an awesome unique look to the boot and I had full confidence that the soles would stay together. It was a solid repair job done by someone who clearly takes pride in his work.
I can see why some of the other reviewers thought he had an attitude problem, but I think its just his communication style. My take was that he’s a no-​nonsense kinda guy and my experience was very positive.

I don’t normally get my shoes repaired after wearing them down, but when you paid good money for them, paying an extra few bucks to make them last is an investment!
This was my first time visiting the shop so I carefully drove down McCully to see where they were. I had to turn around because there isn’t a driveway or parking area where you can pull up. If you go down the street the block before the building, there is a small lot in the back where customers can park. I’ve also seen a customer pull up to the curb halfway up in front of the shop so I guess that works, too.
I went to see Richard to get two pairs of shoes repaired. The straps on my Chloe sandals came off, and the soles had to be reglued. And a pair of Lanvin flats that I got from ebay for cheap and wanted to make like new again. Dropped off the shoes in the morning and Richard said they would be ready after 4 p.m. Good deal! Paid half of the total cost for my deposit. I was anxious to see how my shoes turned out and was very happy when I saw what he had done, especially with my Lanvins. He put a more durable sole on the bottom with reinforcements in the heel and toe part, which he said would take on most of the wear and could easily be replaced instead of resoling in the future. He also dyed the leather black. The original color had started to turn blue. They looked so shiny and new! He was even impressed with the results. Paid about $ 44 for both shoes. Well worth the price!
So if you have a fave pair of shoes that you’re not ready to part with, go see Richard and have him put a few more miles on them. He also repairs other leather goods like bags, and can make copies of your keys.
Excellent service! Glad I found his place. BTW, cash only.

Awesome cobbler! I had a pair of shoes so far worn that I wasn’t sure anyone would be able to fix them — but he made them look brand new! His prices are great and I’ve saved a bunch from not having to buy brand new shoes. He is also very quick, providing same day service if you drop off your items first thing in the morning.

Terrific service. I brought in a backpack purse that needed the straps shortened and additional holes punched in the strap. I’m sorry, but I didn’t get the name of the man who helped me. We discussed different options, and we worked together to ensure the result I wanted was achieved. Very helpful, great result, reasonable price. He fixed the straps while I waited. I’ll be back!

While on vacation, the stitching for the strap on my new backpack ripped. I needed to get it properly repaired before leaving on my flight the next day. Mccully’s was a short walk from my hotel, and I went there first thing in the morning. I was pleasantly greeted, and my pack was expertly repaired while I waited. The cost was only $ 10. The whole trip took less than an hour and was a great value. I highly recommend Mccully’s Shoe Repair.

Great service, recommendations, and voids price. 4 heels replaced in 1 day. Parking is poor, but the walk is worth it.

When I have shoes I love, but they get worn out, it makes me so sad… Especially when they were expensive. Now I don’t have to just throw them away because I have Richard at McCully Shoe Repair.
Last week I was wearing my favorite gold shoes. When I got home I noticed the sole was actually cracked in half. You know I got a lot of mileage out of those shoes but they were expensive and I wasn’t ready to give them up. Richard was able to resole and reheel oh my shoes. He also refinished the top in gold and silver and added a heel protector, all at a very reasonable price. What’s perfect is that the shoes still fit just as they did prior to the resoling.
Now I need to look for all my shoes that need to be resoled and get them to McCully Shoe Repair.
The only difficult part in going there is the parking. Because they’re located right on McCully Street it is recommended that you pull up halfway on the sidewalk right in front of the shop. and be sure to bring cash

Best prices and service. Luggage or leather he can help as new shoes need stretching and old ones need color so I am happy. Cash though and I tip.

I am glad that I was able to get my bag fixed today. I was amazed that the person who fixed my bag saved me a trip of getting a new bag from the Coach outlet store to get it fixed. I almost could not find the place and after realizing that it was a block in a half down, I should have gone a few more blocks down. I am very happy with the results of my repaired bag and make sure that I am very careful about not getting the zipper getting stuck so I do not want my things falling out and not letting my items getting stolen as well as out in the open. I am glad it was worth the trip of going down to the repair shop to get things done. Also, I hope that they can eventually take cards so that it will make it so much easier to use so that customers don’t have to go to the ATM to withdraw cash so that way they can make it more convenient for people that uses cards. Will be back for another repair just in case I need to

VERY disappointing and I miss my old shoe repair stores in Las Vegas and New Jersey. Here is a list of my points:
Pros– close to Waikiki
Cons– #1. This guy has an attitude from the moment you walk-​in and moment you walk out
#2. He «repaired» front of a sole by placing a triangle plastic thing which creates room between this thing and shoe. So, sand and dusts would be accumulated in this room and I pointed out and he said this is the best he can do.
WHY didn’t he change an entire sole then?
#3. He took a deposit when I dropped off shoes and NO receipt or memo by saying he’d remember it. When I went to pick my shoes up, he didn’t remember it.
#4. Shoes are not shined, rather just nicely wiped. I can shine shoes but expected a professional super shine since I’m paying a «professional».
#5. When I a receipt, a total was $ 62 on it yet I paid $ 66. He crossed out what’s on a receipt and wrote $ 66 over it. I requested a receipt with a correct amount typed and he said he cannot do it. So, obviously, he is doing something NOT supposed to do, especially he takes only cash.
So, I would never go back to this place or recommend anyone to repair/​shine shoes there. You cannot even have a conversation with him because he doesn’t answer a question.

Went to this location for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I used to bring my shoes to Sears at Ala Moana, but since having closed, I had been debating where to go. Luckily, McCully Shoe Repair wasn’t far from where I lived in Waikiki. I therefore decided to take several pairs of shoes and boots that were in need of repair to Richard the cobbler.
I must say Richard did an excellent job. Everything looked new again. He repaired the soles and even placed guards on the heels of my shoes and boots to prevent them from wearing down. A pair of boots and shoes required stitching and the lining inside of the boot was also torn. Everything looked new when I went to pick it up.
I am truly satisfied with Richard’s work, will definitely go to him again and would recommend him to anyone in need of good shoe repair.
