Andy’s Shoe Repair

My Birkenstock soles were pretty destroyed and the cork had a few chunks missing, so I found this little shop online and took them there. I was worried that my shoes were beyond repair, but when I got them back, they were like new! I was so impressed by the work that this shop put in, and even the cork was completely filled in. If I ever have shoe problems again I will no doubt take them here. Thanks so much!

I had these flats that I absolutely loved and was so upset when the sole started to fall apart. I found Andy’s Shoe Repair on Unilocal and decided to stop by. He’s located in the corner on Quimby which is fairly easy to find.
Walked in and asked Andy if he was able to help me with my shoe problem and he said that it wouldn’t be a problem. He also offered it to be done by the next day, but I said no worries, just take your time. I came back today and was able to pick up my shoes without a problem. It’s about $ 29, a bit more expensive then other places that I’ve seen, but he guarantees all his products, which I was happy about.
I would recommend this place if you are looking for a shoe repair. Definitely coming back to stretch out my other shoes!

Andy’s may be a bit more expensive then some others but, he guarantees his work 100%. He will stand behind anything done in his shop. Plus with over 35 years in the business he has the experience to find ways to extend the life of your old comfortable friends. He has added 10 years to my old shoes saving me money and the pain of breaking in a new pair.

Ruined my heels walking across a gutter and it got stuck. Went here on a Saturday to repair my heels and I was out of there less than 5 minutes. Really friendly service as well. Highly recommended this place.

Make sure to keep receipts.
Make sure you really Love your shoes you will paid$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Make sure you know what you want and explain to the guy. He may be doing something extra for extra $$$$ like cleaning shoes etcetera.
Most important fo not paid more than…
$ 25 for resole.
$ 15 for cleaning very good.
Look for other locations do not your self compromise this location will take advantage of you.
I had 3 pairs fix, after 1 month shoes was exactly the same. Glue came out. Nail from outside came in I was stepping. Color was fading. I go back… He said don’t worry I will fix its only $ 45 for all. («What») I paid $ 125 first time why should I paid more no no no I will throw them away I’m not doing business with you. He said sorry nothing is free bla bla… Disgusting I rather buy new shoes for same price. honestly it’s not the expensive and no experience need to be fixing shoes just need tools, color, nails, right cleaning products.
Anywhere in Europe, central, south America, Asia, Mexico. Will charge no more $ 6 dollars ahh cleaning shoes some locations are complimentary. Free.
No receipts not warranty.

Fixed my shoe heel while I waited. Friendly, professional, did a great job, price was good.
He even gave me a recommendation on a restaurant to visit while I was traveling to La Paz!

So its pretty simple, I look for 3 things in a good shoe repair person
1. quality
2. price
3. service
The quality is stellar no complaints there. Andy did a nice job on the shoes. The price I think was outrageous I think. I wanted to put soles on two pairs of flats — nothing crazy. Two women’s flats. I ended up paying $ 45 per pair. So $ 90 in total for two shoes to re-​sole. I usually get this done abroad for $ 2 per pair and I asked my two friends about re-​soling and they told me they get their shoes done in Chinatown, SF for $ 8 per pair. Service he told me they would be ready on a Monday at 12 noon (4 days from the time I dropped off the shoes). So I went on Monday at 1pm. At which point he told me that they werent ready and that he needed an extra day to do them. Although he was kind enough to say he could deliver them, I didn’t find it right that I went with the sole (pun) intention of picking them up — he didnt even start working on them. Maybe have a better system, call the customer, if you know its not going to be ready. And maybe have a price list somewhere b. c if I knew it would be $ 45 to re-​sole one pair of shoes, I definitely would have found another place.

Took only less than 10 mins to fix my heels. He was friendly and super nice. No wait and great service!

You can’t find shoe repair places in every part of town and evergreen is very lucky to have Andy’s shoe repair within its boundaries.
Not only is Andy a great guy, very positive and personable, but he’s great at fixing shoes!
He’s a licensed berkanstock repair person. His rates are reasonable and he doesn’t take forever getting your shoes fixed and ready for pick up!
Try Andy’s Soe a Repair and tell Andy Karen sent you !

My shoe repair –PERFECTiON!!! I called all shoe repair shops in San Jose, Andy’s was the only shop that professionally explained exactly how he was going to dye my shoes and gave me an unbelievable fair price!
This is the only shoe repair shop you should be going to. Andy is the most professional and friendly owner in the business. I HIGHLY recommend this shop!!! Do not take your shoes anywhere else.

Pricey for three new heel tip replacements = $ 58. However I love the fact that I don’t have to got out break in a new pair of shoes. I go here when the back of my heel is scratched from me walking into a crack or the heel rubs down, and the tip needs replacing. In a few hours you have a great pair of your favorite shoes. He said he’d clean them up before pickup… not so clean… but he fixed them.

Came in this morning on my way to work to get my heels resoled. The proprietor Andy was in his shop at 9am. He was very professional and friendly. It took only took about 10 minutes for Andy to resole my heels. He also informed me that he could cut down heels that were too high for me. Something I didn’t even think was possible, yay! He even commented on my purse, big plus. A very friendly atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back to visit Andy for all my shoe repair needs.
P. S. he also repairs purses, jackets, zippers, belts.

It’s true when they say you pay for what you get. Yes Andy’s may seem pricey but the quality of work is excellent. Andy goes above and beyond when it comes to repairing my shoes. I have been coming to Andy’s for over 30yrs & will continue bring my shoes there. Thank you Andy!!!

This place is awesome! I always get what I wanted done. Andy does an awesome job, and gives great prices for the job that he does. I recommend that everyone who needs a good price on shoes should go to Andy shoe repair and get a great job done

The service is great here. I wish I could say more for the work. I had a simple tear on the botton of my boot and when I saw the badly stitched leather, I couldn’t help but be disappointed. As you can see from the picture, they repaired the hole. But, it looked like a sloppy job. For $ 30, it was a waste of money.

I never write, but I’m writing this time.
Felt mislead and sort of cheated.
What I Wanted: my shoes produced too much sound while walking, and I wanted a soft base so the will stop sounding so much when I walk at work.
His PROFESSIONAL advice: I’ll replace the heel. and I ASKED if that is the ONLY thing to be done… he said yes (and I should not have any loud sound while walking). This cost about $ 19
(I didn’t get the shoes done right then because I wanted to think about it, but came back a while later)
So I came back in and ask just to get the heels done. And it came out fine.
Tried it on… the front of my shoe still made very loud noise. Came back and he said, oh, I can add on something for you there for another $ 29. I told him HE said that the heel is all that is needed, that is why I got it done (keep in mind my shoe cost me only $ 20 when I got it). Not only did he NOT admit he was wrong in telling me the heel was the only thing needed to get done, he kept going on saying how «if I remember what I had told every customer… etc». [why should his answer change if this is his professional judgment we are talking about?]
Bottom line: This guy claims he has been in the business for MANY MANY years (decades). Told me fixing the heel ($ 19) will solve my problem. Did it, and it didn’t solve my problem. wanted $ 29 more to solve it. He should have told me straight up that he either didn’t know if the heel alone will fix the problem and told me the right price in the beginning. After all, of all people, HE SHOULD KNOW. If he would have told me everything cost $ 50, I would have gone to BUY and NEW pair of shoes (I get my shoes for $ 20 – 40 on sale) instead of driving back and forth and wasting my money and time and getting frustrated.
I trusted what he said. Didn’t get what I wanted. Felt cheated (he didn’t sound at all understanding when I tried talking to him). He obvious wasn’t an expert. Would suggest asking in detail if you are going there what you are going to get, and ask what would happen if you didn’t get the results you wanted.
Would not suggest coming here. Over priced. Very egotistical (and yet is not accurate in what he told me). There are other good shoe shops around.

I was excited to find a good-​olé fashioned shoe repair shop near my house; especially one that worked on Birkenstocks. His demeanor was rather rude and egotistical. But I figured well, at least I will save some money. That’s where I went wrong. To shine 3 pairs of shoes it cost $ 60 — and that was after I talked him down from $ 80. One pair was rather scuffed up, and he cleaned them up well. The other two pairs of basic dress shoes look similar to when I dropped them off. For that price, I would hope to have a new pair of shoes. I will be on the hunt for another shop. He commented on going golfing this weekend, and I noticed his new car outside. Guess I am not the only one who was overcharged.

This guy is so nice and pretty fair prices. I didn’t come here to get my shoes are heels fixed, I came here with ice skates and he had the knowledge to fix them! Since they were ice skates, we were trying to stretch the leather instead of buying a brand new pair of $ 2,000 plus new skates, and he did help, but you can’t do much when you’re a growing teenager. Anyways, he did his best and the only complaint is he would say he needed more time when the estimated date was too soon. But they weren’t regular shoes so I can’t completely be upset with him. I’d totally recommend Andy! And the smell of leather is sooo good!

I wanted to resole my dress shoes so I came here because it was relatively close to me. I brought my shoes in around 10am on a Saturday. He said he could have it done and ready to pick up after 2pm the same day. I was only in town for a couple of days so it was perfect to have them done the same day. It cost me about $ 50 because he had to fix the hole on the bottom of my shoe before he could resole it. He did a good job and my 4 year old shoe looked brand new again. When I picked up my shoes, he told me the sole was separating from the shoe so he glued it together free of charge. Awesome!

I LOVE this place. Has repaired all of my heels and is my go-​to place. I recently brought in my favorite pair of heels and he suggested to save it by repairing the heel, coloring, and then replacing the sole. Sure, you can go out and buy a new pair at the same price, but these were my favorite and already broken in heels. Will never give them up until I have to.
I love that its been around for so long and hope that it will continue to be there!
