Overland Park Shoe Repair

GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. ANYWHERE ELSE. Do not waste your time and money or risk letting this man ruin your shoes. The owner of Overland Park Shoe Repair does not honor his deadlines or respect your time: I dropped my boots off for repair on 12/8 and was told they would be ready 12/16. After 4 separate trips to the shop to pick them up (each time he had said they would be ready and did not call to communicate otherwise, and when I arrived, he had excuse after excuse.) I finally have them back in my possession on 1/27. Seven weeks later! The owner of Overland Park Shoe Repair does not communicate: Every time I came to pick up the boots when he told me they would be ready, they were not in fact ready, and he had a different excuse as to why they weren’t. He never once called me to let me know there was going to be a delay. I asked him on two separate occasions to confirm he had my phone number correct and he did. Forget trying to call him, as this man seemingly does not answer his phone or return messages. The owner of Overland Park Shoe Repair does poor shoe repair work: When I finally got my boots back, the repair was clearly done sloppily or in a rush. The elastic was sewn on crooked, he SLICED through the leather at the seam (and of course did not acknowledge this) and there is glue everywhere (along the seam and speckled on the leather.) This shop has plenty of good reviews which is why I chose to come here, but if you sort by negative reviews you will see that nearly all of them are a similar story – takes way longer that he initially says and offers lots of excuses along the way. Maybe he is really good and quick at certain things, but for whatever reason he didn’t want to do this repair or didn’t feel comfortable doing it – I wish he has saved us both the time and trouble and just told me he could not fix them. This is the least of my worries at this point but also worth noting that the boots REEK of cigarette smoke now.

I love Henry. He repaired some boots after some wine spilled on them. They were a light carmel leather boot at the time. Henry made them dark leather. Perfect. Then, the boots received water damage as I wore them not realizing it was going to snow. I thought there was no way they could be repaired. Henry worked his magic again. Thank you Henry!!

I came to Overland Park Shoe Repair because another shoe repair shop that I had been doing business with declined to repair my boots. Not only was the shop's proprietor willing to repair my boots, he delivered a very reasonable price. And, he is pleasant to do business with. As another reviewer stated, at times this shop has 4+ people in the store to pick up their goods. Clearly, the owner has established an excellent following in the community! While waiting, I got a chance to explore all the accessories available to purchase...shoe laces and shoe polish in just about every color, arch supports, heel pads, shoe trees, boot shapers, ice grips, etc. Frankly, I'm glad that other cobbler turned me away!

The owner of this shop answer multiple questions I had about leather products. He sold me what I need and I found his prices were very reasonable. I plan on going back!
