Best Shoe repair shop in Canada

M	Marie LeBlanc on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I like to try and support local businesses, so I was happy to find this shoe repair shop in my neighbourhood. However, I found them to be very unwelcoming and unhelpful. I brought in two pairs of boots with broken zippers, and the woman at the counter told me they were unfixable. She said she'd have to replace both zippers, it would cost $90 for each pair, and that they weren't worth fixing (even though the zipper was the only damage and both pairs were in great shape. I tried my luck at another shoe repair place, and the cobbler fixed both pairs easily for $30 total, and barely any trace that they've been worked on. I'm not sure if the folks at alpine were inexperienced, or just too busy to bother fixing my boots, but I certainly didn't feel like they wanted to help me out.
E	Eyon Butterworth on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I’ve been going to Alpine Shoe Service for almost 20 years, mostly to have my Birkenstock sandals and dress shoes resoled.They have always been very nice and helpful and I will continue to go there. Workmanship has been great and have never had any issues with a repair.
S	Scott McCracken on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was really impressed with the quality of customer service here. I was recommended this cobbler by Gravity Pope but after reading some negative reviews I was unsure. I'm glad I took the plunge and I will definitely be back. You can come here expecting experienced professionals that won't try to up sell just for the sake of making a buck. It's clear their objective is to develop a strong base of returning clientele and they achieve this with honest, low pressure service.
L	Land G on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We have been going here for years. These people are no BS and superior quality with a good sense of humour. They have been in business a long time and know their stuff.
E	Eddie Leigan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I can't say enough about these kind people, If you are looking for that good ol' mom and pop shop then this is the place! I have had several things done here over the last few years. I got my cowboy boots re-soled, I was sure they were destin for the trash and they came back like new! My blundstones tore a tab off, turns out they are super hard to put on without that! The kind fella here put a new tab on that was 10x better than the factory ones. We have also had blundstones punched out to give a little more room and it was perfect! 10/10 reccomend this shop!
D	Dave Clark on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've used this shop's services about three times over 20 years. These days I'm wearing leather boots daily. The boots are expensive and once I break them in they fit like a glove, so keeping them in good repair is important! The two people who own and run this shop are amazing! I come in with a lot of questions and they give me a lot of good information, recommendations and tell it to me straight. They are really personable people in a genuine way. The turn around time is great. The quality of the work is never in question and I think the price is fair. 20 years ago I was told they are the best hiking boot shop and more recently I was told they are the top fashion shoe repair shop. I agree with all of the recommendations and I am so grateful they are in business.
B	Bryan Birn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unfortunately they no longer repair Hiking Boots here, but the super nice guy who was working was a wealth of information and helped me to find a place that would help me. I wish I could have given him some business today, but I'll be back when I have shoe repairs.
M	Mona'sCreative Design on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Best place in town to get your shoes repaired and such lovely people. FYI they are off in the month of August always so make sure you get your shoes done before then!
