Description

Specialties

Our customers have been highly impressed with our service and craftsmanship for over 40 years, as we strive to be the premier place for quality shoe, boot, and handbag repair/​alterations. Our turn around time to complete most repairs is typically 3 – 4 days. However, for more intensive repairs, it can take longer. We make every attempt to accommodate the timely needs of our customers and will always do our best to oblige requests for faster turn around times.

We also offer «while you wait» service which typically includes shoe shines, heel replacements, and simple attachments, as well as work for customers who require orthopedics.

History

Established in 1978.

Patrick is a 4th generation cobbler. His great-​grandfather brought the craft with him from Ireland and opened a shop in the Denver metro area before selling it to go fight in World War 1.

Patrick’s grandfather opened a shop and worked it for more than half his life teaching his son the craft of shoe repair.

Patrick’s father continued the tradition by opening a shop in the late 70’s and then 2 more shops as time went by. He retired in 2010 leaving the business to Patrick. Patrick has been fixing shoes for 30 some years.

Patrick C.

Business Owner

Patrick is affectionately called the «shoe doctor» by customers and has been fixing shoes for 32 years.

Shoe repair is a family tradition and Patrick is a fourth generation cobbler. His great-​grandfather started the tradition as a young lad in Ireland.

Dennis Marable, a supervisor for «42nd Street» once said «Patrick is the best shoe repairman in the country. It’s just amazing how he can totally redo a shoe».

Marable has worked with Patrick on productions of «Cats» and «Miss Saigon»

Photos of athletes, rock stars, rodeo queens, and theatre stars and posters signed by the cast of theatre productions. «Rent», «Ragtime», and «Phantom of the Opera» display gratitude for repairs made for theatre productions. Other famous shoes that have been revamped include a pair of custom made wing tips for Tony Curtis, a broken heel for Sen. Hillary Clinton, and a pair of leather boots were shortened for the pop princess Brittney Spears.

Just picked up my computer bag and the zipper repair was perfect. The zipper on one side had separated from the cloth and I couldn’t close it. Cobbler repaired it and now it opens and closes like new. It was only $ 12. Another shoe repair store begged off.

I gave them two pairs of shoes to get grease off, one being a pair of $ 100 Born flats that I wear for my hostessing restaurant job on the weekends. Not only did they remove all the restaurant grease, but also all of he original tan color. I was not happy, so he put some balm on them, which brought back the colors back some. And I was not charged for that pair.
I know I don’t understand the science behind shoe cobbling, but I was displeased that my expensive comfort shoe lost its original color.

I’ll keep this short. Before you buy new shoes, go to this place. You will likely find that your old shoes look like new, and the price for the repair will make you feel guilty because its so inexpensive compared to what you get. On top of that, the staff here is old-​school friendly. They don’t have places like this anymore.

I took a pair of boots here about a week ago. They said they would be ready on Monday and they have a sign saying that shoes will be ready by 3pm on the day promised. Now, I know that problems come up and sometimes they aren’t able to keep the agreement, but I expect a call to let me know. I called earlier today to ask if my shoes were ready. They said if the expected date was today, then they would be ready by 3. I gave them my ref number and they said to come in after 3. I came in around 4:30 and spent 10 minutes waiting for them to find my boots after I had dealt with rush hour traffic in downtown. After those 10 minutes, they pull my boots out of a bin of to be repaired boots and told me the soles that they were going to put on them were out of stock and they were waiting for them. I have no idea why they wouldn’t have checked on that before making me come out in rush hour traffic. I’m never going to this place again and I strongly recommend against it. I am sure they do a quality job fixing boots, but the professionalism is lacking at best.

Had a brand new pair of cowboy work boots that I busted the heel off of. Brought them in to Cobblers corner and the owner of the store had it fixed in literally less than a minute. Incredibly They looked brand new, like nothing had happened. Awesome! These guys get all of my boot repairs from now on!

Fantastic job! They always do great work, are on time and ignore my ogling at their craftsmanship in progress when I come in.
Boots. Heels, moccasins, they fix them all!
Best place in town and good prices.

I brought Frye boots here for resoling and I’m very happy with the results. They matched the original sole nicely and the price seemed reasonable (especially considering the expense of purchasing a new pair of Fryes). I’ve worn them for several weeks and they feel great — no squeaking or anything weird.
The customer service part was a little less excellent but not a deal breaker. I came by to pick up my boots per their instructions, but they weren’t ready, so they asked me to come back the next day after work. When I got there the following day they were still working on my boots, so I had to wait while they finished (which made me feel like I was rushing them to finish up right before they closed for the day). I didn’t mind that the repair took longer than they originally expected, but would have appreciated a phone call so I could avoid the unnecessary trip. I think this can be easily avoided by calling ahead of time to confirm your items are ready for pick up.

I read all the great reviews about this place, and since it was near my work, I decided to bring a boot in whose zipper was no longer able to zip past a certain point. I asked for the zipper to be fixed or replaced (whatever was warranted), and one week later, I got the boot back and was able to zip it — and for only $ 14! Hooray! Why 3 stars then, you ask? Well, it’s been less than 2 months and it’s starting to give me problems again, which makes me very sad. I didn’t think that the fix would just be a $ 14 temporary solution… so I’m a little bummed. I’ll come back the next time I have a cobbling need, and I’ll update my review if applicable.
Aside from that, it’s hard to say whether it’s due to my über-​sensitive pregnancy sniffer, but this place REEKS like shoe polish/​cleaners/​whatevers — like overwhelming, hold-​your-​breath-​and-​breathe-​into-​your-​hand smelly. I’m sure the fact that it’s a pretty small downstairs shop (with seemingly limited ventilation) doesn’t help… but again, maybe it’s just me, and I fully recognize that’s a possibility — but just an FYI.

Disappointing. I brought in leather boots with some dirt and two stains (inch or so in diameter, very light). My boots look worse now. The heels are tinted a weird color in random splotches and the stains look exactly how they did before.
Very cheap pricing – the only upside.

Fantastic! Took my allen edmonds in for a much needed repair and they’re good as new now, and polished! Best $ 10 I’ve spent in a long time. Will be returning in the future, this place is awesome!

Holy wonderful unholy shoes batman!
I bought these shoes age ago on the clearance rack at ross… They go with everything, they are comfortable to walk anywhere, and they seem to be un-​replaceable (I’ve tried for years), so when the soles gave out for a second time, i timidly brought them to this little store below the sidewalk and asked if they could help me.
With a smile and a wink, i got an of course and come back in 4 days!
The magic they performed on my sad little broken down shoes is just un-​describable. New soles — wonderous amazing new soles, they cleaned them up, removed my skuffs and made them look like new!
Definitely take your favs to this place!

Cost me 34 $ to have my Frye boots resoled and they look great. Quick service (a week turn around or less) and ready by the date they gave me. Very helpful customer service too!

Very happy with my boots! They have never looked this polished. Asked to get the straps tightened and fix an inner sole and it all cost only 15 bucks. I will be going back and taking the rest of my shoes that need some TLC here!

I normally have one pair of flats, one pair of tennis shoes, and one pair of boots and I wear them often depending on the weather until they wear and tear. I made an investment on Sept. 14, 2013 by purchasing 2 very expensive boots expecting them to last longer than the normal 1 year for boots that cost under $ 100. I bought a leather one to wear every day in the winter and a suede one to wear to a fancy event when it’s cold out. I was bummed about the heels wearing out after a year and half of having them. So, my adventure began with Cobbler’s corner.
The total came up to be about $ 30 to repair BOTH of the heels on the boots in addition to fixing the strap on one of them! Now, I’ll have the boots I love for hopefully an extra 1.5 more years!
After analyzing the work, I felt that the rubber that they had replaced on my heels seemed much thicker and durable than the ones that came with the shoe. Hopefully, it lasts at least a year and a half more.
I would definitely come back again, and this time request for my boots to be cleaned and polished. Like any business, if you don’t ask for any ‘extra’ services, you probably won’t get it.
Now. I hear lemon works to clean leather… here I go to google search it.

Cobbler’s Corner repaired a pair of boots I picked up at an REI garage sale. If you love small business and people who still do real work with their own hands, you’ll love this place. I felt good about support these folks. Haven’t tried the boots yet, but they sewed up and sealed some loose stitching in my waterproof boots — I’m confident it’ll hold.

I saw reviews on this place and was very anxious to get my boots polished and sealed with a water repellant. I came early in the morning around 9:30 and asked to have my boots done before 4:00 that evening. I was told, «no problem.»
When I came to the shop, my shoes were done. Not as polished like I wanted, but good enough. However, when I inspected my boots I noticed a 1 ½ inch scratch in the front right corner. It was not there before. I calmly asked the lady at the counter, «if I may speak with Patrick.» She obliged.
I simply asked Patrick, «what happened?» Now first, they are just a pair of boots and I can always buy another pair… no big deal. But when being confronted, I was told, they were like that when they came in. Now if they were already like that, why not take the time, to repair it in the first place?
As you can tell from the pictures I am posting, the scratch happened during the time of the boots being polished. I get this is a mom and pop business and I fully support these establishments. However, when you know you are at fault, at least own up to it and admit your mistake.
I will not be coming back here again. if Patrick would have owned up to the mistake, I would have acknowledged it as that and carried on. I was even charged full price! Whoever gave this place 5 stars, maybe they in fact were served with a greater customer experience, than I was.
Good luck.

Took my favorite handbag in for a zipper repair. I had been procrastinating on getting it repaired because I thought for sure it would be an expensive undertaking. These guys were phenomenal – not only did they repair the zipper, but they also polished my leather handbag. The best part? — It cost me $ 10. I heart you guys!

This was such a great experience. I brought in my expensive boots that had gone though 2 winters of constant wearing in Boston (tons of salt, ice and snow). The soles and heels need to be replaced along with a deep clean. Needles to say I was thrilled with the outcome. I brought them in late on Saturday and picked them up on the following Friday, they were ready on Thursday but I was out of town. The heel and sole look better than when I first bought them and they did a great job cleaning and cleansing the leather. The prices was $ 50 and I would have happily paid more because the shoes are worth much more than that. I will defiantly bring my other shoes here and recommend them to others!

I can’t say for sure because this is the only cobbler I’ve ever been to, but I didn’t think it was a great job — my boots still had pretty bad stains all over them after getting them buffed out here. Also, I had two new soles put on and it was $ 93 (did not include the separate time I had them just cleaned) — I don’t know if that’s normal or not but it seemed like a lot. I wish the prices were more clear and they had some sort of pricing list, etc.

Resoled my engineer boots at a super-​reasonable price with just a couple-​day wait. They were pretty scuffed when I dropped them off, and looked amazing after they were done.
Parking can be tough, but that’s downtown Denver for you.

I took two pairs of rather expensive shoes to be cleaned, and when I picked them up, they looked (and felt!) worse than when I dropped them off. All I got was a shrug when I suggested that one of the pairs seemed in much worse shape at pickup than at drop-​off.
Maybe Cobbler’s Corner is great at certain things, but I wouldn’t trust them with cleaning or detail-​oriented work. I’m sad to say I probably won’t be wearing either pair of shoes again.

I will forever utilize this place! I absolutely SUCK at taking care of my heels and this place not only replaced the bottom button, they also did something to the back and repaired the underneath of the heel! I am so impressed with how BUSY and fast their service is. AND it’s two blocks away AND reasonably priced!
THANK YOU GUYS!!!

These guys are great. Quick service from a place that looks like a cobbler should look. They’re reasonable in terms of prices, they’re reliable, and they do very solid work.
Highly recommended.

No muss, no fuss. You’ll be in and out of here in no time. Got teased a bit about my «fancy heels» but it was all in good natured fun. Cost me a mere $ 10 for a high quality fix that will likely keep me in my fave patent pumps for years to come! Only downside is that parking is tough to come by.
