Peter’s Shoe Repair

All I can say is WOW! Fast service, pleasant to do business with, and wonderful craftsmanship. I brought in two pairs of my absolute favorite boots that I wore the ground and they fixed these babies up like brand new. Can’t wait to wear more shoes down just so I can bring them back here :-)

I’m sad that I don’t work on the Upper East Side because Peter has saved so many of my shoes. This place us the best and the prices are reasonable.

Amazing! Dropped off a pair of boots that needed a lot of work — new zipper on one, new soles & heels on both. They were really upfront about the cost (which was really reasonable considering the amount of work). They said it would be a few days. I opted for free delivery so I paid when I dropped them off, and they were delivered to my door less than 24 hours later! The boots look absolutely brand new!

I went in on the recommendation of a friend and was beyond satisfied with not only the work, but with the entire experience. I brought in a really banged up pair of Frye riding boots. When I say I wore these boots into the ground I am not lying. The tap on one of the heels had fallen off and I continued to wear them. (Terrible decision I know!). So now of course the heels were uneven because I chiseled down the one that the tap fell off of. Plus the leather was badly faded (wore them in the snow after salt had been put down, another genius move on my part). These boots were jacked up. The customer service I received was spectacular — kind, welcoming smiles and a «judgement free zone» on the condition of my boots. I could tell immediately that they knew what they were doing and took pride in their work. I was only charged $ 45 for essentially a new pair of boots PLUS they delivered them to me for free (I live 20 blocks away). The turnaround time for pick-​up was SAME DAY– amazing — but I was going out of town and wouldn’t be back before they closed. I went in on a Saturday and my boots were delivered on Monday — they are closed Sundays. 100% happy with Peter’s Shoe Repair.

This place is the best. I’ve brought countless shoes here for everything from shines to full rebuilds and they always look good as new. Have also brought belts and bags to be repaired and am incredibly happy with the results. Prices reasonable as well.

Gave them a pair a shoes that just needed a little chip on the sole.
The chip only stayed 9 days before it flew away.
The positive thing is that they replaced it right away, without asking explanation.
But the chip flew away again couple days after.
Would not recommend.

I sent in some Frye boots and they came out looking better than new. The heel pad he replaced the original one with looks to be much better quality, and the repair to the heel damage was seamless. They were also done in a timely manner: I picked them up the next day. May this place never go out of business.

Peter and his wife do an excellent job! First and foremost, they are both very kind and reasonable.
This is my third time taking my shoes here and they consistently do a great job!
I trust them with everything from Manolo’s to Aldo shoes. They also do a great red bottom on Louboutins! Who needs the leather spa when you can come here!

Needed a place to fix a giant hole in one of my boots. Took a chance and trekked all the way over to the east side. I am so glad I did. Perfect job and excellent service. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs a good shoe/​boot repair. Thank you.

These guys do the most amazing work at restoring and rejuvenating shoes and boots you would have thrown out otherwise. Highly recommended!

I was at Alice hair getting my beautiful highlights done but had on worn out shoes. Dropped my sandals off at this shop to get them fixed and picked them up a few hours later. My favorite sandals are basically brand new again!!! He resoled them and I feel like I’m walking on air! So happy! I will be taking all my shoes here!

Very satisfied. Brought them a pair of mahogany colored shoes that were accidentally polished with brown shoe polish. The shoes were fixed and polished properly for $ 15. Will definitely return for future shoe needs.

The customer service and the quality of work at Peter’s Shoe Repair are terrible. I took in over six pairs of shoes including boots. Many of the shoes are now ruined. One was over-​stretched. They used brown polish on a pair of red shoes. They replaced the sole on a pair of boots and it broke after wearing them twice! They used glue to put hardware on a pair of boots and it dripped all over the shoe.
Save your money and your shoes, and skip Peter’ Shoe Repair.

I’ve never taken the time to write a Unilocal review but I couldn’t help doing so after visiting Peter’s Shoe Repair.
Upon returning from a business trip in Chicago during the month of December my brown leather dress shoes were wrecked. There were salt stains that had set into the leather and caused horrible discoloration. I was afraid my shoes would never be restored. Thankfully, Peter’s Shoe Repair are fantastic at what they do. My shoes have been completed restored and practically look brand new.

Owner graciously helped me modify Apple iPhone case so it worked with Bose headset. Skillllllllllled with the scissors and hole punch thingy.

What an amazing find.
I had two pairs of EXTREMELY costly shoes to be repaired. I thought for sure that one of those pairs was destine to be discarded because of the damage I had done to them. The other needed lifts, but also needed to have a tear repaired so that it would be invisible.
I came back the very next day to find both pairs looking like new… with impeccable workmanship.
The cost you ask??? The total was $ 22. OMG OMG OMG
I highly recommend this little shoe repair shop.

I’ve never actually taken the time to write a review about any business before on Unilocal,but Peter’s shoe repair had been so outstanding that I’d really love to share the experience.
Let me preface by saying I love shoes. In particular, I love and collect kind of expensive shoes that I wear on a daily basis because they are gorgeous, and I did not spend 600+ on a shoe so it can collect dust on my overflowing shoe rack. One thing about expensive women’s heels and flats though, is that they are handcrafted leather. Which translates to 3 wears maximum on the NYC turf before all sorts of cosmetic and permanent damages occur to the worn shoe.
Enter Peter.
The first time I went in was 4 months ago with my one new pair of leather and PVC manolo Pacha shoes that I had sitting in my closet for 2 weeks because I was scared of wearing and ruining them. I had scoured half the department stores in this country finding this beloved pair (please dont judge). I asked him to put on a protective pair of rubber soles because i figured this would lessen any damage and I can guiltlessly wear them. Together we selected this Neolite brand (it was thicker than Vibram), and he did it on the spot as I worried that the shoe would be damaged. I got it back literally spotless 20 mins later, the sole
well blended in to the oddly materialed shoe. When I tried it on again, the leather and PVC stiletto now became comfortable due to the well cushioned rubber Peter put on there. The best part is, I have since worn the shoe 30 or so times on NYC concrete and to date, the bottom looks BRAND NEW. Cost? $ 26. Originally I thought it was expensive but I saw it was for great craftsmanship. 30 wears later and counting, I realized it was the best $ 26 I could spend.
Over the span of the last 4 months since I found his shop, Peter has taken 6 new pairs of my manolo blahniks, including my wedding shoe, 3 pairs of Jimmy Choos, new and worn, and 2 pairs of hanging to their last lifeline Ferragamo flats. He put the same neolite rubber soles on all of the shoes and expertly angles them on the bottom so that they blend seamlessly. Now I wear the heels whenever I want, on whatever surface I want, and when I’m teetering home at 2am you bet its on a more bearably cushy pair of shoes, thanks to Peter.
I got the Ferragamos flats back today. He charged me a bit more for the flats because he also gave them new heels. My one pair literally had a hole on the bottom of the sole from constant wear, but thanks to Peter you would have thought they were almost new. The other pair has this funky silver bottom. I casually asked Peter the other day if he’d be able to do anything about maybe keeping it silver. I get it back this am with a perfectly silver rubber sole matching the original mirrored finished. How awesome is this man?
Peter if you ever read this, I really appreciate everything you’ve done for my picky behind and my beloved shoes! We moved out of the UES a few wks ago but I am coming back next month with more shoes for sure.

the right kind of prices from honest people. They did a great job with my shoes and they deliver too. Very friendly

My moderately expensive suede loafer had a 3 – 4 inch tear along the underside that needed fixing, and was just visible enough that it looked pretty bad. They stitched it back together and glued the shoe back to the sole where the tear was located. I love that they used a colored glue that was the same color beige as my loafer, and they smoothed it down nicely, making the fix as inconspicuous as possible. Total came to $ 12, not bad. This was my only visit so far, but I definitely recommend Peter’s! Very professional service and moderately priced.

Imagine a business dedicated to sell Happy Moments … which one should you order?
A song?
A piece of Blue cheese chocolate cake?
A lost ring?
A nice evening in a cozy Café?
A macaroon?
A juicy steak with lobster?
A date?
…
The Mirror of Erised?*
Mine was very clear one week back in the pre-​last day of the year. I wanted to recover a healthy UGG boot with a broken zipper that have been used maybe too much already. Yes, the ones that I like have a little pocket in the outer side and a zipper all along the boot in the inner side. For me this Happy Moments seller had to be located at the UES. and it must have a Unilocal 5 star review (we are talking about my boots. I’m not gonna accept less). and Peter looks a nice name for a Happiness maker.
20h later I knew that I had get my Happy Moment after to receive a morning phone call from Peter saying that I could pick up my boot perfectly recover before 3 pm that day since it was New Year Eve and they were closing earlier that day and during the whole weekend**
I couldn’t that day since I was Unilocaling at Minca, but I was already feeling it. The following Monday for just $ 28 I received my little wish. A perfectly fixed zipper in my boot. Perfect, Fast. and so … cheap.
My weekly Happy Moment
I still want the mirror, tho … wait no!.. the other one. yes the other one
