Holiday Shoe & Luggage Repair

Excellent quality shoe repair! You will pay for excellent craftsmanship to maintain quality shoes. Cash only and owner, Mr Chong will deliver when promised. Metered parking in front of store is convenient. More shoes are on their way, great experience!

I’ve had two pairs of shoes repaired here and I’ve had a good experience both times. Granted, it was an easy repair (repairing the heels on high heels) but they are relatively cheap ($ 8 for what I got done) and they are fairly quick.
The store itself is cramped and is half shoe repair store, half jewelry store which is a little odd.
I assume parking can be difficult, but you can always park at the old Safeway across the street and walk over.
Only complaint I have is that you have to pay upfront, which I was very weary about the first time, but having been there twice with good results, I’m ok with it now.

Holiday Shoe & Luggage Repair has been hit or miss. In my experience, they are fine if you have a repair that doesn’t require much finesse so that the general appearance of the finished result doesn’t matter.
On one occasion, I brought in a pair of leather slip-​on dress shoes in which the stitching was starting to come out. It was a simple repair: just re-​sew the stitching. The finished result was awful – it looked like a child had done the work. (Perhaps that was the case, it’s a family business, so who knows?) The stitching was so sloppy that I refused to wear the shoes after that. Ugh.
On another occasion, I needed a strip of velcro fabric tape sewn onto something, and it really didn’t matter how it looked, it simply needed to fasten. In this case, they did a good job and the stitching even looked nice.
In both cases, the price wasn’t cheap. The folks who run the place are not particularly friendly. It’s a matter of «State your business, then get out, you’re interrupting my show.» Sheesh…

I left my lether bag to them on Monday and wanted to change a zipper. They said they gonna calle me back and say when its gonna be ready and how much that will be. So, its Friday already… no call, when I called them — noone picked up EVER !!! So, I came to their little store and they guy told me that it’s gonna be 26 $. WHY noone ever called me and of course its not done !!! I wasted so much time !!!

I purchased a new pair of shoes and wanted to blacken the suede areas on the shoe. It was meticulous work and the coloring would have taken a lot of precision. They did a wonderful job and the attention to detail was as amazing as I had imagined it to be. Recommending their services to anyone looking for customized detail.
