Jesse’s Shoe & Boot Repair

They fixed my Loubitons for about $ 35, they look okay. I wish I had gone to a place that specialized in fixing Loubitons/​high end footwear.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! There is nothing Jesse can’t do! I brought him a pair of boots that were just crazy hard to get on & off. I asked him if he could put in a zipper and sure enough, now it isn’t a 15 minute deal. He also re-​did the inside of 4 other pairs and repaired the heels. He always polishes them and they look like new. Prices are very reasonable and he and his wife are just great folks to do business with.

They charge $ 8.50 to change the tips on my heels that wear out frequently. Not only did they change the tips but also polished the shoes and glued the fabric back on the heel that had peeled off from waiting too long to replace the tip. The result was my shoes looking almost brand new!
Recently went to another shoe repair shop closer to me which charged me over $ 10 each pair and did not even polish them =\ needless to say, I will be driving the extra miles to come to this shoe repair shop from now on!

Will NEVER return to this business. Took my Birkenstocks in at Xmas 2014 for a resole. Did not get them back until May 2015. I kid you not. Showed them EXACTLY the standard black sole I wanted. Got back a cheap, white, thin sole that rendered sandals unwearable. Had said NO to the cheapie on the first visit in but I guess they though they could get away with palming it off on me.
Paid them $ 30.00 and waited 5 months & it took multiple repeat visits before I got what I wanted. Could have mailed them to online Birkenstock Repair and had them resoled, cork repaired & sealed and cleaned for $ 45.00 with Prepaid Priority Shipping Label & a Professional Turn Around Time.

Over the last month, I have had a few things done here. I had a zipper put in a pair of snake boots (protective not made out of). A pair of my dress shoes get new soles and a briefcase a new handle. All of the work has been done in a short amount of time (1 – 2) weeks and nicely done. HIs prices are very reasonable and I have nothing but good things to say about Jesse.
I would recommend for sure.

I brought 2 of my FAVORITE summer heels in for heel taps. I take VERY good care of my shoes. When I came in to pick them up, they had damaged the heels to the point that I will have to throw them AWAY. I could not believe it!!! When I questioned the wife of the man that did the repairs, she basically called me a LIAR and said that they did not damage my shoes. I was in complete SHOCK!!! Finally, I left with shoes that are going in the GARBAGE and I will NEVER go back!!!

I sent in two pairs of leather shoes to be widened. The first of the two was a pair of Cole Haan heels. I found that there was some sticky residue on the insoles of the shoe but it was nothing that a little Goo Off can’t fix. The pair of shoes that I was upset over were my Salavatore Ferragamo heels.
Though they did as I requested, the soles of my shoes came back worn and scratched as if someone had worn them all over pavement. Prior to sending them to Jesse’s Shoe and Boot Repair, the soles were only slightly worn. I am very upset and I suspect that someone wore my shoes thinking that I won’t notice the extremely scratched soles.
Needless to say, I will not be returning there for any shoe needs, and I advise against going here.

Went here last year two get a pair of lizards and calf boots resoled with pro soles (small layer of rubber over leather sole) I wear both pairs regularly and they have held up amazing. Went to houston shoe hospital before and those soles lasted all of 2 months. I would highly recommend and will be taking a pair of elephants in this week to get resoled with pro soles. I will be purchasing some custom boots from Jesses and update this review.

At the advice from four people at two different Cavender’s Boots, I dropped by Jesse’s to have a pair of Ropers re-​heeled. I also had a pair of custom made Lucchese Ropers which, for a few years, I’ve been very disappointed in their (Lucchese) ability to accurately get my size right. Finally I gave up on Lucchese and figured I’d just eat the Grand I spent on having them made.
Long story short: Jesse told me he’d work on them and he guaranteed they’d fit me much better after spending a week in his shop. Picked up the boots today. Ropers repaired and shined up as new… the pair he needed to «work on/​stretch» fit like a glove — just like Lucchese boots are supposed to fit. A small miracle in my book.
Fantastic, thoughtful, professional service! I can certainly see why the people at Cavender’s Boots recommend this place so highly.
My 2 cents.
