I have been going to James Shoe repair since the mid to late 1980’s — that’s nearly 30 years. I just dropped off a pair of shoes (6÷22÷2016) to have them do a complete repair — new soles, heels and some work to the leather. I live in Los Angeles so it’s a hike to go to Irvine. I go to these folks because I have yet to find anyone that matches the quality of their work and quality shoes are expensive.

Brought in six pairs of mostly work shoes. Some high heel, some flats, some patent leather, some suede. Several needed repaired heels or new leather on the front-​sole. Anyway, taking them in pretty much revitalized my work shoe collection. Awesome service!

James stretched out my dress shoes perfectly so that I didn’t have to buy a new pair! Peace was perfect. Will be coming back for all future shoe and leather repair work!

Ok quality workmanship, but not great. Cost 60 $ for basic heel replacement on a pair of Prada sandals. I feel like they see the brand of shoe and charge more! Will be looking for another shop to do my repairs. They are fast

I cannot begin to put in words the service, commitment and kindness that is extended every time I take a repair to this shop. From purses, belts to shoes they make the old look new. I am amazed with the «magic» that the owner does to make my shoes that are to small fit perfectly.
This wonderful married couple share their business daily with many and it is so sweet to see them working side by side with such support and respect!
I would travel miles to assure that I receive the quality of service given and at such an affordable price! Lastly, I am so last minute and have to have a quick turnaround and yes they can/​will turn my items around within 24 hours.
The best show repair in the state!!!

Attended a wedding this last weekend in SLO and the wedding was at a ranch. My shoes leather dress shoes were trashed. Looked up shoe spot and Jame’s shoe repair was down the street. Took it there and I picked them up today. The shoes look brand new. Great job and I will definitely be taking my shoes over to them.

Arguably the best shoe shining service in the Irvine area. Excellent work on my two shoes. However, you pay what you get for.

This place is awesome and VERY affordable! I took in one of my vintage Chanel Purses and what i received back was a brand new purse. Their work was immaculate, from the exterior and the interior everything came out better than I ever imagined. The pictures speak for itself! Cute shop, the owners are very sweet and nice and I am definitely bringing in more of my purses and shoes in for repairs.

Just had a terrible experience!
I dropped off 3 pairs of new heels to be stretched and have protectant soles added. I was quoted a different price at drop off and charged $ 70.00 per pair!
What a complete rip off! Also, one of the shoes was not completed correctly! To top it off, when I told the owners that I felt the price is very expensive and was miss quoted at drop off (in a gentle tone) the male owner raised his voice and started yelling at me. I have no idea as to why anyone would think screaming at a customer is ok.
If you are looking for ok quality workmanship, to be charged an arm and a leg and to be verbally abused, this is
The perfect place!
I myself prefer people who do good workmanship, are honest in their pricing and are pleasant.

After many years of going to James Shoe Repair, I finally reviewed them back in August of last year. Everything I said then stands true today. The reason I am providing an update is that James Shoe Repair once again showed me today why they got a 5 star rating. I was on my way to an important meeting and my shoes looked TERRIBLE! It’s hard to find a good shoe shine these days since Nordstrom got rid of their shoe shine station several months ago. Self conscious about my shoes, I drove to James Shoe Repair and they shined them up beautifully while I waited! What a life-​saver! They are the best, I love them!

I was in town for the weekend and wanted to get my shoes resoled. I took them in on Friday and told Linda I’m leaving Sunday. She told me she would have them ready by Saturday afternoon and sure enough they were.
One of the stitching’s missed the groove, but I’m not sure if that’s a problem or not. Either way I would recommend James for a quick and good shoe repair.

I had my leather work boots cleaned on Saturday. They charged me $ 30 for it. I just moved to the area, but I think this is a bit too pricey. But I have nothing to base that on, seeing as the only other boot shine I received was from a man in the Tulsa airport for $ 10 (he did a great job by the way)
They did a good job here in Irvine. I say good specifically.
My boots did not come out with the shine I expected, but in my opinion they look exactly «good».
I was pleased.
Instead of cleaning the sole of my boots, they sanded it down and made it look sharp and crisp like new. Which I liked.
They also got the job done in about 2 hours even though they originally said it would take 4.
The couple was very sweet and friendly.

The service is horrible. Would not recommend at all. Took a pair of shoes that needed repair and said they couldn’t fix. Couldn’t or wouldn’t. The lady was rude. No customer service or people skills.
Save your time and money!
