I have had 2 pairs of boots repaired on separate occasions. The staff at Village Cobbler are friendly and do superb work. We drive from out of town for their service, which has been done remarkably fast. Their pricing is very good too. I would highly recommend this business!

Excellent service. Quality craftsmanship. Recently purchased the identical leather wallet that I paid 3x the price for over 20 years ago. Only $52.99! So happy with my purchase. Apparently they do knife Sharpening as well as sell leather goods.

The Village Cobbler Review – Hassan Hawash “Oh, shoot, my zipper is stuck. Oh no, the pull tab has come off! Now what am I gonna do?” “Hey Wilf, could you have a look at it?” Says he, “looks like a job for Joe over at The Village Cobbler. You’ll find him in the Cambridge Mall. The turnaround time at The Village Cobbler must have been only ten minutes tops. Very impressive! One look at the boot zipper and Joe knew what to do immediately setting him off for his supply of pull tabs. He then attached one to the slider and wouldn’t ya know it, the zipper worked again. Ever the skilled experienced craftsmen, Joe went beyond simply attaching the pull tab. He pointed out where one should place their thumb on the tab and emphasized that the thumb must be kept on the tab all the way down the chain until the bottom stop. In doing so, Joe says ya can avoid the same thing happening again. He pointed out other things to bear in mind which could lead to the slider getting stuck. All in all, I was on the receiving end of quick, friendly service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Joe to anyone who needs shoe/boot repair.

I came in from Brantford with a very small repair and they were extremely helpful. Asked if I could wait just a bit and the repair would be completed so I wouldn’t have to make another trip. Literally in about 1/2 hr job fine beautifully and I was back on the road. Extremely friendly service. Thanks to you both 👌🏼

My boyfriend gets his hockey gear repaired by these guys and told me about them. I recently got my boots repaired here and I am so impressed with the customer service I received from start to finish.

Fantastic everything here- they did a great job fixing some boots and a wallet I had, and even shortened some cowboy boots for my step mom. Without them, I would have had to toss my boots. They are well worth the drive out of town and are genuinely nice people that know exactly what they’re doing.

Needed a lift on a sandal. Brought in 2 pairs. Amazing work as always. Great communication through the whole process. I've been coming here since 2019 and will keep recommending it for repair, resoling, and stretching my footwear.

I was a bit disappointed. After seeing so many positive reviews I expect they will do a terrific job. However, they used white thread to sew my light brown leather shoes, which makes the patch predominant. The original thread of the shoes is dark brown so I thought at least they will try to match the color. The shoes are very expensive so I am a bit sad.

Brought a coat in to get the zipper fixed, the owner said they don’t normally do these types of repairs but he took a look at it anyway. He was able to explain exactly what was wrong and fix it with a small part he had in stock for only $8. Also a super nice guy, would recommend this business for sure.

I went to get my purse fixed. The “rivet” that I thought needed replacing did not. The gentleman fixed it without charge. He was very kind.

Thank you for the great job done on replacing the heals on my leather boots. Thanks for the complimentary polish and the honest opinion about my sandals not being worth the repair. I appreciated the whole experience.

Had my boots stretched to get rid of creases on the inside. What a huge difference that made, and such a relief on my feet..no longer coming home with sore aching feet. 🙏

I have taken a few items over the years. Most recent experience was disappointing. New pair of genuine leather western booties. I requested that the opening be stretched (snug around the ankle). When I picked up, I saw right away that something was wrong. The right foot in particular was puffy and cracked. They are so loose that my feet pop out as I walk. I called the next day to tell them what happened and suggest that they do this more gradually for people in future as my new boots are basically damaged. I asked for the manager to call me but never got a call.

Excellent, finely done repair on a dress leather sandal. In addition, the repair was done same day while I ran another errand. Courteous, kind service in a nice shop. Also does knife sharpening. - going to bring my fine chef’s knife and my scissors for sharpening next time. Highly recommended! Very pleased.

Very friendly and capable. I took two coach purses in to replace the straps. They were able to keep the original hardware and the purses look like new! The turnaround time was exceptional and I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the price was. I will definitely take more leather work to them!

I’ve been asking all shoe places around me to find ankle straps for heels and no place had them. This was the only place that did. I had joe help me and he did everything he could to get me the exact ones I needed and he got them. Thank you so much. Very much worth the 30 minute drive to get there. Will definitely come back for all shoe fixing I need in the future.

Went in to see if my trail shoe could be repaired after the manufacturer said it was no longer under warranty. The cobbler was able to hammer out the issue with his specialty tools in minutes and save me having to buy another pair of shoes. Cost $0. Great service.

Fantastic job on my two belts. I recently lost a lot of weight and needed my belts resized. I was originally thinking to have them cut at the ends and re-punch some new holes but when I went in they suggested the proper way instead was to modify from the buckle end. They cut 5 inches from the buckle side and re-punched for the buckle hole spike and re-stitch the buckle back on. They has done such a phenomenal job. So professional and quick service. Really can’t say enough about the excellent and quality work and service
