Harvard Row Shoe Repair

I have been searching for a GOOD and AFFORDABLE shoe repair since I moved back to the area, and my search is finally over. Discovered this place through Unilocal.Walked in 10 minutes before closing and 5 minutes later both heels were fixed for $ 12.95! I will definitely be back to support this business that has been here since 1958!!!

This cobbler is excellent. He runs a small shoe repair business tucked away inside the strip mall. Also the address is wrong and google maps will land you on west side of telegraph. He is near lahser on the east side of telegraph. I had tried 2 other repair shops that said they could not fix my dog eaten shoe. He did right on the spot and only charged a small fee. I could have not been more thrilled.

I bought some knee high boots that were the display pair & after being tried on so many times the boot developed a hole & was coming apart at the ankle seam. I complained to the store who offered to reimburse me for the repair which I thought was wonderful & since I technically wasn’t paying for it I just went to the closest place to my office & I’m glad I did.
The gentleman looked at the boots & offered me several options for fixing them & we decided that he would add a strap around the ankle under an already attached smaller strap & I was a little unsure of what the final outcome would be but when I went to pick them up I was thrilled! The boots look better than they did when I bought them to be perfectly honest & the cost ended up being under $ 40 which was a steal considering all of the work that was needed with them. I did think that their cost for capping a boot heel (my friend brought hers in when I went in) was a little ridiculous ($ 10 per heel) when I had visited a different store in the past & paid $ 5 for both heels & also the store is very very tiny so if you have to wait you have to wait in the hallway, the place is about big enough for 1 person at a time.
I’d definitely go back here!

If you danced all night and managed to break a heel, check out Harvard Row to get a quick fix. To get your shoes repaired, it normally cost around $ 7 – 10, maybe a little more depending upon the damage. What I like the most about Harvard Row is the owner gives a honest opinion about whether he can fix your shoes or not. If it can’t be done correctly, he will not work on it. You have to value that customer service!
Harvard Row also works on luggage, purses and and even shoe shines. So definitely check them out.
