Fast & Best Shoe Repair

Very helpful shop owner who was able to help fix my shoe needs! The couple parking spots in the back solidifies the 5-​star rating. Will be back if any other shoe/​leather repair needs come about.

Every time I stop in the shop I am greeted with a friendly hello and smile. Sam is an artist with your shoes and almost anything to do with
leather/​shoe restoration. Very considerate and reasonable with excellent quality products. I live on the beach but I always will travel to this shop for all my shoe and leather needs.
Another hidden gem in LA.
Thanks Sam!

Just had my shoes widened since they were too tight. I experienced great customer service with genuinely nice people. My shoes now feel great.

Good stuff! These guys have helped repair of number of shoes for my boyfriend and I. They work with higher end shoes and a lot of consignment stores use them to update/​repair high end shoe & purses for re-​sell.
I put my faith in them with all of my stuff. Give them a shot!

I have been your bed a few times now and I have not been disappointed. I love the atmosphere it’s very old-​school. You deal directly with the owner. He’s a no nonsense type of gentleman with a great attitude and a knack for customer service. He will go out of his way to make sure you’re happy and you’ll stand by his work and by his word. I recommend this place to anybody even my own family.

Based on the good reviews I brought Sam some Tory Burch boots that were looking a bit tired and my favorite Fendi bag that had been ruined over the Summer by a cute but chewy pit bull… I was so upset as I thought no one would be able to match up the Fendi stitching of the strap or the color of the leather… I handed my treasured items over without really believing my bag at least could look as it once did… A couple of days later I picked my things up and am OVER THE MOON… For only $ 65 Sam was able to replace the strap reattach the hardware on my beloved purse… And my boots were re-​dyed and re-​soled and look LIKE NEW (another $ 65) much cheaper than buying new designer boots! Thank you Sam! I will return and will think of you fondly every time I use my favorite purse that I honestly thought was a lost cause.

Used them for the first time after coming highly recommended from a friend. They were excellent. They did a fantastic job on my shoes (2 pairs), were really reasonably priced and they are SO nice. I highly recommend them.

This place really is fast and best. Just picked up a pair of boots they repaired — was going to have to throw them out, so I went in and they told me how much it would be and when they would be ready. The boots look fabulous. Previously when I went in with 5 pairs of shoes they told me honestly which ones were worth repairing and which should be tossed. They don’t just blindly repair stuff, they give their expert opinion. Awesome! :)

These guys literally saved the day on a pair of leather Chanel espadrilles that were mistaken as a chew toy by my dog.
Corey confirmed that he would be able to make them new and he came thru on his promise. And did so with reasonable prices.
My only recommendation is that you call in ahead of time to make sure your shoes are ready. Other than that they are a 5 star spot and my new go to guys for shoe repairs.

I have a favorite pair of comfy heels that I wear almost every day to work. I wear them so much even my boyfriend lovingly refers to them as my «basketball shoes»! Eventually the heel cap wore off, but I kept wearing them anyway til the heel was totally worn down to its metal stem. I brought them by Fast & Best and got such quick, friendly service. In less than 5 min and for only $ 10 I had fresh heel caps and my shoes look brand new! So happy I’ve got my work kicks back! Noticed that they also repair and clean purses and belts as well. Will definitely be back next time I need something repaired!

I been here several times over the last few years and thought I had found a place that did a good job, had good customer service and was reasonable. The first 5 – 10 times I brought my things there, it was all these things.
Then last week, I took in a really old pair of Ted Baker men’s suede shoes to get cleaned and have the soles glued. I spoke to the owner’s son and told him that I only wanted him to try to remove one spot on the shoes and asked how much it would be. He said he did not know but would call me to confirm before he did anything. He even wrote «call» on my ticket. I told him that I didn’t want them to be cleaned if it was pricey (more than $ 5 or $ 10 for a spot). He quoted me $ 10 for the sole repair.
Never received a call from him or the owner. Today I go in to pick up the shoes. They wanted to charge me $ 35, and $ 25 for a cleaning I never authorized. The owner told me that he had to clean the whole shoe and I explained to him that 1) his son never informed me that the whole shoe had to be cleaned, 2) I only wanted the spot removed, 3) no one ever called me to confirm the cost of the cleaning like they said they would, and 4) if it was going to cost $ 25, I would not have agreed to it because the shoes are so old and not worth that clean. So rather than just giving me a discount for the cleaning, the only option he offers me is to not charge me, but UNDO the gluing of the soles he had already done. So I said okay, if that’s what you want to do, go ahead and do it.
Are you kidding me? Are we running a business here or are we in third grade on the playground? This is disappointing because it had been my go to spot.

Great service and great prices for alterations. Been going here for years and they have always been consistent in service and quality. I take all my clothes to get altered here. They do a fantastic job with great customer serves. I love this place!!!
Thank you so much.

There are many pursuits in life that may seem humble at first blush but in my estimation border on high art — milliners, bakers, tailors, coffee makers. And among them, cobblers.
Look no further! I’ve brought many a shoe in need of serious love to Fast & Best and they’ve never disappointed. My wife and I both come here, only once together, yet somehow the gent that runs the place recalls who we are and what shoes he’s fixed in the past. He’s a savant with the ability to divine the past and future needs of all leather goods, but especially shoes.
Old worn leather comes back looking like rich, beautiful leather. Broken straps are repaired as new. Soles are replaced and possibly better than when new. Over the years I’d estimate ten pairs and all still in the service of my feet today.
Whenever my shoes need a doctor, there is no question where to go. I highly recommend Fast & Best Show Repair.

I used to have a very good shoe repair person BUT unfortunately he passed away almost a couple years ago… I was looking for someone as great as he was… it was LITERALLY some big shoes to fill!
A friend recommended Fast & Best Shoe Repair and I’m forever grateful to her! I’ve
brought shoes, handbags, belts and the service I was provided with is beyond what I
expected! Owner and staff are professional, knowledgeable and VERY polite. They are
ALWAYS busy, that itself tells you they are good!
Prices are fair and work is top of the line!
They also have a seamstress in the premises, I recommended her to a friend and she
LOVED her work!
It truly is FAST & BEST shoe repair!
Thank you so much!

there’s parking! I’ve only gotten heels re-​done. nothing special. a little pricey :($ 10 each. I’ve had them done cheaper elsewhere but this is weho :/

Sam is the best. First he repaired my shoes, and he did a great job. Then i took my husband shoes, one of it was a pair of Gucci that my husband really loves them, but he thought there is nothing else he can do besides throw them away, so i took them to Sam, and he did a miracle, the shoes were completely destroyed, but Sam changed the sole and restored the leather and now they look like new.

These guys are the BEST! I had old wore in boots that I love, and they had a rip on the heel. He fixed the rip and gave me new heels. I couldn’t tell the difference from what was old or what was new. He’s amazing. He really cares. These guys are artists!
I highly recommend them. Fast and best is a great name for them.

A million thanks to Sam at Fast & Best Shoe Repair for literally fast & best results! I’ve tried a few other shoe repairs in the past for both shoes and handbags but I wasn’t satisfied with their result and most of the time they took longer than I was promised.
I highly recommend Fast & Best for both shoe and handbag repair! The shop aura is very welcoming and Sam is such a polite man and not to mention very experienced and skilled at what he does!!! Thanks Sam!

Really is fast and the best!
I’ve left several designer shoes & bags here after my dog has gotten to them, and Sam always does a great job matching the leather or finding something that is extremely close. My favorite thing about him is that he does not try to rip you off — once he even tried to convince me to go with a cheaper option (replacing half the strap rather than the whole thing), and I had to insist on the more expensive repair!
Everything is always done by the estimated time frame.
The work is great, and most importantly, they are *extremely trustworthy*

This is wear you take the shoes you love. I recently brought a pair of my favorite boots here after my dog thought my heel was a tasty bone. He did an amazing job, they looked brand new. You could not tell they had been «fixed» I was quite impressed. I will absolutely bring all my shoes here. This is were you take those Louboutins you over payed for and need them to last forever and look untouched when you have them repaired. His prices are fair and you get what you pay for. He also does handbags which I plan on bringing a few in for him to work on as well. Sam is very nice, great costumer service and amazing work.
