Ardesson’s Shoe Repair

Needed a couple small shoe care items. Prices were very reasonable, good variety of products to choose from, and a staff that was attentive and helpful with finding the best product. I’ll happily return to patronize their store.

recently moved from lynnwood to lakewood — needed a great foot doc and found one — she suggested this place as they handled super feet insoles
got the greatest help that two mid-70’s could ever hope to receive THANK YOIU
while doing our ‘shopping’ a person could not see how much traffic comes in that front door —
we are not the only ones that discovered this great business place
thanks for you and your wonderful attitude

i abosolutey love this shoe repair shop! I’ve had shoes repaired and even redesigned here with great results. Karen? helped me to place some metal grommets on the straps of a nice but too plain looking pair of platform sandals turned out amazing and the price was so reasonable. I’ve purchased shoe polish and shoe dye with the help of the owners daughter and she was so patient and friendly with my pickyness as to color tones… also the owner helped me pick out some leather high quality insoles which have helped me so much with my foot problems. feel lucky to have them located so close to my home! they are so busy for a reason both quality service and products with such an upbeat friendly environment even the customers talk amongst themselves while waiting;{}

Quality: fine but lacks attention to detail. Customer service … Horrible. When I dropped off shoes for repair, their customer service was great. I dropped easily over 2 bennies there. Now the pick up a whole other story. I went about a month later and reviewed the shoes and there were some small issues that needed to be fixed on two pairs of shoes. The daughter of the owners with short black hair was very defensive and responded with «we don’t break shoes here.» I stated that «this was not the way i turned them in» …otherwise I would have included it in the repair. Duh! She said it would take another week and they will be charging me. Really! Last time I take my shoes there. The work was quality but lacked attention to detail hence the tweaks that needed attention at pick up time.

My dog chew up my wife’s boots. I did not think it was fixable. Look on Unilocal and found this place. Came in and was planing to hear «sorry, it can’t be fix». But they did it!!! I can’t ask for more. Great price, great job on fixing the boots! Plus, everyone are super nice here!!! Hopefully I do not have to come back. But if I do, I know I will be well taking care of!!! Thanks again for the wonderful job!

A friend at work recommended this store to me almost 20 years ago.
I would go no other place they always take care of me. I had always wanted to wear different kinds of boots, but I could not find boots that would fit my large athletic calves. That was until I heard from one of my favorite designers who said to take the boots I purchased to the shoe repair.
Ardesson’s has been custom fitting boots for me for years now. You get the best friendly customer service and workmanship here! I recommend this store to everyone!

Looking for a real cobbler? This is the place. Not only fixed the heals of my boots but shined them up for me. They were honest about the third pair and told me they could fix them. The service was friendly. I proceeded to ask other shoe and leather handbag questions which she answered.
Hey, they also sell beautiful but comfortable shoes as well. Take a look at the couple pictures I posted.

Simply amazing customer service! No wonder they have a top local business recognition for some 5 years in a row. I took my Danner boots in for an eye hole repair on each boot and a retreading. They charged up front but at least I knew the cost.
They called me 4 days earlier than quoted, which was amazing and when I went to pick the boots the tread looked great and they had cleaned and greased my boots! I’ve been to other repair shops so I know that is not an expected service!
Best part is that they *may* have missed the eye repair so the gentleman replaced 8 eyes on the spot!
Thanks so much, again.

I’ve been coming here for many years with my leather issues. Last week I needed leather sandals stretched. The young lady told me if I needed more stretch to bring them back for more stretch free of charge. They’re also very reasonable always very nice.

SUPER friendly, very prompt and excellent workmanship. My go to shoe/​luggage repair shop.

I bought a pair of tall boots that I loved the look of online @ an amazing price. Sadly my calves are larger than average and I could barely squeeze them on. I took them in hoping for a miracle. The took measurements of my calves to ensure a proper fit. I dropped them off on Monday and was amazed they were ready Wednesday the same week. They look amazing and the cost was very reasonable. Shoe repair is a dying art and I’m so glad to find this business, well worth the drive.

Brought a set of motorcycle saddle bags in at the reference from eagle leather in Lakewood.
My leather bags had a seam that you that holds the bag onto the set that came partially undone, and a hole in the rear where it rubbed in the tire.
They did a great job fixing the seam. Looks like new. She fixed the hole in the rear by hand. It’s not like new, but it looks pretty good. If she was not able to fix it, I would have to buy a new set of bags. Charged me 20 bucks, a bargain when compared to 250 for a new set.
Great work, highly recommended!

5 star service here!
I stopped in because I’ve got a problem with my mountaineering boots giving me terrible blisters. Even though that’s not the sort of footwear this shop deals in, the woman who assisted me suggested several possible solutions and provided some adhesive-​backed foam products to try at no charge. Thank you! I definitely know where I’ll be going the next time I need a shoe repair shop :-)

I am extremely please with the craftsmanship! To get my Louis Vuitton fixed at the boutique would have been 200+!! I was so disappointed! Until a client recommended to this place! I honestly just wanna take the people there! The stitching looks amazing, the color of the stitching matches so perfectly! As if nothing was wrong in the first place! Thank you thank you soo much!!! I could hardly tell the differences!!!

Ok, simply very unpleasant experience.
I took my a single boot to be fix on shaky heel. When I dropped off my shoe, girl at the register said «it takes for while so, come pick it up not this Friday but next Friday, late Friday or early Saturday» I planed to wear it on Saturday night to go out to my friend’s birthday party, and when I called ahead before I go pick it up,(just to be make sure it’s done) on early Friday evening. Different girl answer the phone and told me person who took my shoe didn’t put it in, so it won’t be done till next Friday or Saturday. And told me she will call me when it’s done. Ok, I was getting pissed at that point already. But when I went there to pick it up next Saturday. It wasn’t done AGAIN. So I waited another week then I went in today to pick it up. Guess what? IT WASN’T DONE!!! she asked me if I got some time and told me «he is working on it right now.» Finally I got my shoe back after about 5−6minutes, paid $ 16 and some change. When I got out of there. I checked my boot. Heel was fixed alright but there was glue everywhere inside of my shoe and it wasn’t all the way done so I had to pull and push down the leather piece goes in there. Well, I ain’t never ever going back to this place for sure. EVER!

This is the best cobbler in WA. i have all kind of boots, hiking, backpacking, snowboarding, work, and even back packs. Everytime i come to them with custome ideas for my gear they have the solution. i pass at least 5 cobblers from puyallup to go here.
