Columbus Shoe Repair

Came here on different occasions — once to put more holes in a leather belt, another time to fix the seams/​stitches that were coming undone on some of my heels and another time to stretch out some leather boots.
The people at the service desk are very nice and the prices are soooooo cheap compared to places like leather spa! I would even trust this place with some of my high end pieces. Service is always quick and fast (winthin a few days, but you can request to have it sooner and they will try their best).

Great, fast, friendly service, and not to mention my shoes came out flawless!

All I can say is WOW! I brought in my favorite sandals which were destroyed. Thought I would take a chance and see if they could be repaired. They came out looking pretty close to new. The prices are also very economical. I will be taking more shoes next week. So happy to have found them!!!

I really love this place — the front of the shop is a toy store, the back is a full-​on shoe repair shop. The staff is amazing and incredibly friendly. They have really fast service and do good work — I took some leather boots in to get re-​soled, the soles started coming undone and they fixed them for free. Highly recommend!

Very friendly staff who fixed my purse which I would have thrown away and they fixed it in five minutes.

This is a little nearby gem for anyone living in the area and likes to keep their more expensive and durable footwear lasting longer than the sole. I had two pairs of military 3 layer construction sole boots resoled here. Both were worn through into the midsole and probably even damaged it. So I got a full resole with genuine Vibram soles for a pretty decent price of $ 60 each and they even shined up my black pair and cleaned what they can on my tan suede pair.
The job was/​is great the soles are on seamlessly and have had no separation at all so far or any type of «wonkiness» to them.
On the staff they’re nice and informative but to the point and will help you out if they can. Overall I’m very pleased and will probably be using this place unless it’s no longer geographically practical to get here.

Admittedly the job I dropped off was a simple one. After years of reliable service, the sole of one of my water-​proof boots came undone. These are expensive boots and my go-​to shoes when it’s raining in New York. I can traipse around in them all day, walk through any puddle and my toes stay dry.
These folks run a combo toy store /​shoe repair place. Walk through the small shop (past the teddy bears and action figures) and there’s a counter in the back. Nice attentive family with a southern cone accent. They took my boot, charged me six dollars, sealed the sole right up and made it look good as new. I had my boot back the very next day, just in time for rain.

A couple of years ago, I bought a pair of water-​proof leather boots that cost me $ 150. Because they were so special to me, I seldom wore them — I wanted to make these boots last forever… until December.
One very wonderful evening in December, I took off my boots at the doctor’s office and tried to put them back on and zip them up, but they wouldn’t! This led to a really awkward trip home since my boot wouldn’t zip up. My sister then told me about this wonderful little mom and pop shop in Jackson Heights that would treat my beloved boot very well.
I went here yesterday (a Friday at around 5 PM) and showed the guy what had happened to my favorite boot. «Don’t worry», he said in Spanish, «I can fix it… and if not, I’ll just change the zipper. Come back tomorrow!» I was SO happy. Because it is a zipper, the fix cost me $ 20, but the boot looks as good as new. There is no longer anything stuck inside the zipper and it actually looks a lot better than my other (non-​broken) boot. I have no idea why these guys have no reviews, but they deserve plenty… and they should all be awesome!
