Stanley’s Cobbler Shop Church

He fixed my shoes, they had horrible white paint all over them from work where they are doing construction and painting in the office. It was horrifying, white paint on my black professional flats. I went straight after work at 540 pm yesterday’s and today at lunch they were ready like he said they would be. They look better than ever! The white paint is all gone and they’re shiny too! I didn’t know about he $ 20 credit card minimum but he let it slide, now I’m aware of it. This was convenient and saved my shoes, and not a bad price for $ 15

It’s pricier here but the job is good.

Excellent service. Sometimes you can get same day service at no extra cost! My boots always come back like new. Very pleased, every time.

Hands down the best shoe shine in the City, and an excellent place to have shoes maintained and repaired. Employees are extremely hard-​working and friendly.

I wore a hole through each sole of my shoe, brought them to Charlie and he fixed them right up in 24 hours. They came back looking fresh, polished & with new soles lined with Vibram rubber out-​soles. Best $ 60 spent, the shoes are now better quality than when I purchased them.

The friendliest and best shoe repair in lower Manhattan. I’ve taken all my broken heels, mud-​caked festival boots, and even my kid’s destroyed (but favorite) sneaks. Charlie always gets them back to me like new.

Stanley’s not only does an amazing job on my high end designer shoes but they have amazing customer service and are fast! I literally bring my shoes all the way from Chicago to have my shoes repaired here and never have I waited more than a day to have caps replaced or rubber soles put on my Louboutins and the job is always done perfectly! I will not take my shoes anywhere else as long as Stanley’s is in business! Thank you for always taking care of my babies! :-)

Stanley’s Cobbler is the best. I’ve been going here off and on for the past 4 years. It started when I was in NYC the summer of 2011 working on a project at an office in Lower Manhattan I’ve worn heels since I was 14, so working and walking in NYC didn’t change that but my poor stilettos were wrecked. I happened to walk down Thames one day when a cap had fallen off a shoe and my life was never the same.
Yes, the guy behind the counter can be a bit gruff, but I’ve discovered that’s just like a hard candy coating. He’s really sweet on the inside. And after I told him that I now come all the way from Boston to him and that he’s the only one I let my touch my shoes, I think it made up for me bringing him 10 pairs at once and asking him to please place new caps on all of them (before my flight/​ride back to Boston).
He is the best. The prices are reasonable. He does it quickly. Don’t mind that tough exterior. He’s a sweetheart. I only wish he were open on Saturday so I didn’t have to take a day off to haul my shoes into the city, but he’s good enough that he doesn’t need to work on weekends.

I don’t just come here because it’s conveniently located across the street from my office building but also because they do a great job with my shoes. I usually come for full sole or heal replacement for shoes that are low and loud (ooh I can’t stand noisy shoes… I rather be seen and not heard when I’m walking lol). If they’re not busy you can just wait the several minutes while being serviced.

My suede miu miu boots were absolutely ruined here and the damage was blamed on salt. I have never worn these boots in any inclement weather because I keep them at work and only wear indoors. The customer should be advised prior about the condition of their item and the potential outcome. I needed the boots cleaned and a slip resistant sole added. I was told they would look almost new. The suede is hard and matted, it seems painted. I value and take care of my belongings and this incident is terribly upsetting.

I’ve been taking my beloved boots to be resoled, reheeled and cleaned here since last year. My shoes always come back looking like new and I am impressed with the high quality of the work at a reasonable, fair price.
Recently I brought in a pair of brown leather Loeffler Randall ‘Matilde’ boots. I had tragically and accidentally spilled bleach on them, practically burning a hole through them. I thought they were damaged beyond repair but still brought them in. Charlie advised he could try to repair the damage but they’d need to dye the boots a darker color — black would yield the best results and he quoted me $ 40. I was shocked and delighted with the outcome. My boots look beautiful, shiny and new — no sign of damage at all. See the before and after photos to view the amazing transformation.
I highly recommend Stanley’s for all your shoe repair and cleaning needs. Often people think they need to buy new shoes when theirs wear out when all they need is repair and maintenance from a high quality cobbler.

Charlie’s the man when it comes to shoe repair. I have been here a couple of times now and Charlie has never failed to greet me with a smile. He gets the job done, delivers everything expediently and charges the most reasonable prices in town. Look no further for shoe repair in the FiDi area.

A hidden gem! I’m very pleased with the customer service as well as the work they did on my shoes. I got them back in a very timely manner as well!

One of my favorite pairs of oxfords was in need of some serious TLC — the sole was worn almost all the way down, and the stitching was coming apart. I was kicking myself for riding the shoes so hard before taking them in, but Charlie showed me that my worries were for naught. He put a brand new vibram sole on, stitched them back up, and applied a coat of mink oil to boot. They came back to me looking damn near like new, for a very reasonable price. I’m incredibly happy with the job he did, and I won’t hesitate to take more shoes to Stanley’s so they can bring them back to life.

By far BEST cobbler in town. Shop with confidence!

Got some much needs insoles for wokin and talkin. 4 dollar shoe shines available for those not wearing running shoes.

Whether you’re looking for a shine or repair, there isn’t anyone better than Stanley’s. Walk down the street with a new shine that states, «yeah…my guy is better than your guy.»

Excellent shines by real professionals. The thorough job done and the pride in their work is self-​evident. They really do an amazing job on your shoes. The store also does top notch shoe repairs and is conventiently (for me) located a block from my office on Thames Street.

The man at the counter was extremely rude — I just walked out and found a friendly guy a few blocks down who answered all my questions. What a bad experience that is for a new customer.
If I’m paying $ 20 to get my shoes re-​done, at the very least you could not have a bad NY-​style in your face attitude. Sheesh

I’ve been going here for over ten years. .. it doesn’t get better than this!!!
Best in service in all of NYC.
