Andrade Shoe Repair

I am so happy I live around the corner from Anrade Shoe Repair. Living and working in NYC, I walk a lot which is great but can do some serious damage on my shoes. Anrade is great at sprucing them up and super quickly, too! The employees are always friendly and willing to help fix whatever the problem may be.

I have been a customer of Andrade Shoe Repair on East 39^th Street for over seven years. The owners, Carmen and Steve A., provide excellent customer service and an outstanding performance when it comes to repairing not just shoes but also handbags, belts and other leather goods. I have never been disappointed with this vendor and I will continue to be a loyal customer.

Not only is this my neighborhood shoe repair shop, it does not get any better than Andrade!!! I work in real estate which means that I am constantly walking the brutal streets and sidewalks of NY. My shoes take quite a beating and, I still have some pairs that, 20 years later, are being beautifully restored and, repaired by them.
Always kind, always professional, always timely and ABSOLUTELY ALWAYS willing to repair any item, regardless of the challenge.
Look no more, this is the best shoe repair shop in Manhattan!

This is the only place I’ve found in this city that can get my cream colored shoes looking as good as new. If you have odd-​colored shoes that need to be re-​dyed/​polished or whatever they do to them, this is the place. It’s also very clean and the people are friendly.

This is the spot to go to in the neighborhood for shoe repair. Like many office workers, I have some «high rotation» shoes. Also like many office workers, and typical NYers, I walk a lot in them. I also occasionally get caught in a rainstorm, or have the usual wear and tear that requires a new sole, heel, and shine.
This place has taken my well worn shoes, replaces thin leather soles with top quality Italian ones, and when needed, heels, and shined them up so when they are handed back I can hardly believe that they are the same pair. Almost like new!
You’ll be able to keep your favorite shoes going for a long time. And don’t worry if they are high end shoes either. I have hand made Italian shoes I brought back from a trip (and splurged on), and I never hesitate to have them refurbished here.
You can also find anything you need for home — polish, shoe trees, shoe horns, inserts, and so on.
The very nice lady and her son who are always there also make this a very pleasant place to do business.
Highly recommended!

After leaving a physical therapy session at Rusk Institute, I passed by Andrade Shoe Repair. But I backtracked to inquire about repairing the shoes I was wearing which literally had holes in the soles. It’s so inconvenient for me to get shoes repaired since there aren’t any shoe repair places close to my home.
I was really concerned about repairing my shoes (G Series Cole Haan) since the heel was integrated with the rest of the sole. Steve assured me that they could be repaired and that he would also shine them. I waited for the repair and it was worth the wait! My repaired heel was well integrated into the sole and the shine job also made the shoes look like new. I was extremely impressed and will be dropping off more shoes to be repaired on my way to physical therapy.

I am always very impressed by the service at Andrade Shoe Repair. The man behind the counter is very courteous and helpful. Every time I have used their services, the work has been perfect. Without a doubt, I would feel confident to take any pair of shoes to them. I highly recommend this place, I can guarantee you will be 100% satisfied. Thank you Andrade Shoe Repair :)

This place is great! Folks are great, friendly and professional and always put the customers first. I took about 3 pairs of shoes and when I got then back, they were unrecognizably perfect! I would recommend this business and for sure, keep using them.

This place is amazing. They fix items incredibly quickly and the quality is great. I stained a suede bag and took it to a dry cleaner who told me it would take ten days. I went back and they hadn’t even started on it. I took the bag to Andrade and it was fixed within two days. She even added an extra protectant to it so it won’t happen again. Very nice place and job well done!

one good experience and one sub par experience.
Good — My dog chewed a brand new pair of expensive heels I had just bought, where they heel sorta had a faux wood look to them. This shop fixed them perfectly and I can’t even tell where they chew marks were. I literally can’t imagine how they did that!
Sub par — I brought a pair of leather boots that had lost a leather button on the side. When I picked them up, the replacement button looked great, but it fell off the first time I wore them. I got a replacement button from the shoe company and took it back, hoping the shop would but it on for free since their previous job didn’t last. Unfortunately, I got charged again. But, the work was good this time.

This place is fantastic! I’ve been coming here for the last 3 years. They have miraculously salvaged my expensive shoes when our fiesty dog decided to make them his chewing toys. I had my favorite ballet flats that were beyond repair with holes in the heel, insoles completely worn apart and leather that was completely scuff down resusitated. They resusitated them and they appeared brand new! The service is very fast and not too expensive. I would highly recommend this place.
