Stefan's Leather & Shoe Repair

Eric D

These guys are the best in the region. I trusted them with four leather coats that we purchased in Florence, Italy when we were on vacation. The coats needed to be alterted to fit correctly and would have been difficult to replace. They came throught with the most intricate and detailed tailoring I have seen from a leather expert. Personable, skilled, with expert cratmanship, Stefan's Lesther and Shoe Repair is a good as they get.

This place did an awesome job on fixing my mailbag. They love their craft and it shows in the work they do.

Have been taking my boots and shoes to Stefan’s for years. I always buy used, and I wear my boots hard— knowing I’ll have Stefan’s to turn to. and I’ve found their turnaround time to be reasonable and consistent. Grade A neighborhood business.

I had a really frustrating experience with this repair shop. I’d originally brought my business here because of the positive reviews I’d seen online. While not their issue, I did live quite a bit away from this shop so getting there and back was a bit of a pain - but worth it in my mind for their services. I paid $70 to have straps to a bag repainted. I was told it would be a week and that I would be contacted when ready. A week passes by, and i don’t hear from the shop. I try calling - no answer despite shop hours indicating the store is open. I then follow-up the next week - still no answer. Week 3 I take my lunch break to come by the shop to pick up my bag (they close by the time get off work). To my surprise… they hadn’t even touched the bag…I was quite peeved as I was told the repair time would only be a week. Another week (week 4) passes and I call twice this week bc my call was not answered and obviously not returned - I’m told they finally put the final coat down and are waiting for it to dry. I picked up my bag today - and I’m again, quite disappointed bc I expected given my troubles and the amount of time they had to repair my bag - That the repair would be done nicely. While I appreciate the color matching, the application seems quite sloppy and rushed. They also just painted over the original peeling paint - I specifically asked them to not do this. I’d advise anyone who plans on coming here to expect long wait times and below average quality of work. I wish I’d just gone to my original leather repair shop up in Ronald Park because at least there the cobbler is very realistic with what can and cannot be done they also don’t take a month to process orders said to be completed in a weeks time. It is my understanding that half way through the time by bag had been in Stefan’s possession that they entered into their reduced vacation hours. This was not expressed to me until I physically brought myself into the store and was raging over why my repairs still hadn’t been done. My frustration could had been minimized had they repressed this upfront.
