My friend got a pair of nude Louboutins fixed here. Important note: this is the ONLY shoe repair shop for Louboutins in Toronto that is noted on the actual Louboutin site. They order the genuine leather from Louboutin if needed.

The staff is so friendly and honest here. We thought her shoes would cost $100+ for sure to repair...she only paid 22$!!!! Originally when we dropped off the shoes... more

I got caught in a sidewalk grate and ripped up my brand new Christian Louboutin heel! I was devastated. We brought them to Nicks Custom shoe and boots! They did an amazing job! Thank you! Best shoe repair place hands down!

They did a great job resoling my Frye Moto boots! Reasonable prices, excellent service and they won't try and get you to pay for more than is necessary.

I have never used Nick's. But this is my experience by asking simple questions. I asked about complete rebuild of my dress shoes (new soles, heels, cork, and welt etc). I also asked for JR soles.

So the shop has never heard of JR soles. They are the preferred brand for premium men's shoes.

When I asked if they would replace the cork, welt etc.... I was met by silence. They had no clue about... more

Best in town!

Quick, skillful, easy to work with. Nick has done work for my own personal pieces as well as those of clients. Stellar work across the board.

I've been a customer of Nick's shoe repair for several years. I dropped off my boots for repair on November 25th as the sole and heel tread needed repair/replacement. I was told it would take 2 weeks for the repair to be completed. 2 weeks in, I received a call that the heel itself was broken, and needed to be replaced as well. As I had not had any problems with the heel, I'm assuming that it... more

Just got my Blundstones back from Nick's. The boots are my go-to walking footwear during fall,winter and spring. I walk 6 - 10 km a day to keep my diabetes in check. The boots are 4 years old with a lot of mileage. The soles were not gripping the snow and slick surfaces like they used to. These boots have outlasted 7 pairs of decent running shoes and are still in good shape so I opted to... more

Nick's is one of those rare Toronto businesses that make you feel the world has not gone to #$%@: they do what they say they're going to do, well and fast. Usually a week turnover.

As a repeat customer of Nick's at least 10 times, I've only ever been charged reasonable prices for proper, solid fixes of my beloved shoes. They always look like years of new life have been bestowed onto them.

Had to replace the heel tips on my Louboutins.. did a great job.. looks perfect.. only took a day and price was reasonable..nothing I can complain about.. glad I have a place where I can trust bringing expensive shoes to get fixed

I have a spinal problem which means I buy tons of shoes that I can't end up wearing. I brought in a pair of very expensive boots to nicks last fall, to see if they could do something, anything, to make them more comfortable for me. I was going to throw them out! The happy ending is that they managed to fix The boots so well, they became my favourite pair of shoes. Now I'm about to bring all of... more

I went to Nick's for two reasons. The location is convenient to my house, and their Yelp rating is high.
I brought in a new leather belt which required an extra hole. I was prepared to pay but he told me there was no charge for adding a hole to my belt. Service like this is unheard of these days. If I have any shoes or leather goods in need of repair I will surely be returning. Even tho I'm... more

Highly professional, skilled and competent boot repair shop. I have tried many other shops. No one could fix the boots. Nick's shop was the only one successful! Fantastic customer service and honest. Will definitely be a repeat customer and will recommend Nick's without hesitation.

They have repaired all my John Fluevog shoes, about to bring in more! Always do a great job!

Friendly service, recommended place !!

I am so glad I listened to my gut and waited to come here. Thanks to Yelp once again for not failing me.

I recently purchased a pair of FRYE boots after years of hesitation and contemplation, I took the plunge and bought a nice pair of black leather boots ($500.00 value). At the time of purchase they were on sale, and just barely zipping over my calf, literally by less than half an inch. I was... more

I recently had a pair of boots quoted at a particular price (very reasonable I thought).  Two areas were being repaired (heels and sole) and I were to pick them up in one week.  When I arrived at the store one week later to pick up the boots only the heels had been fixed so I was told to come back.  On the SECOND trip to the store, all was repaired however the initial amount I was quoted had... more

In an effort to repair and not replace my shoes, I started taking some worn out boots and shoes here. They are brilliant. They not only fixed what's broken, they cleaned them up too. For one pair, I asked them to fix the heels. It was going to cost $100 so he suggested a $25 solution which worked perfectly. Very pleasant staff.

Very good service and I am very satisfied with how they left my shoes.

I have a nasty tailor's bunion which makes most dress shoes extremely uncomfortable. Nick made me a pair of custom dress shoes. They fit perfectly. Most comfortable dress shoes I have ever owned.

Nice Shop for any shoe repairs. They treat you well like the old days were servicing the customer was top priority. Nice people.

I should've check my spring leather shoes before the season comes, but I waited till the last moment. When I took the box to wear them next day I discovered that I forgot to fix the sole, which had to be set on glue or whatever they do to it not to resemble the hungry mouth while walking. I got the service pretty fast, took them back in a day or so and was very pleased with the neat job they did.

My 3 year old Lacoste sneakers needed to get a new bottom glued on, and when I got them back they were looking good as new! They offer a really generous warranty on their work as well.

Having read the reviews here and on the recommendation from Leatherfoot, I brought a pair of hand-welted shoes here for a topy job. The work was done very well, albeit a little on the pricey side

-1 star because they also polished my shoes. These particular pair required special attention & polish job. When I got these back, the original polish was gone and they used their own polish instead.... more

I returned a pair of boots, made by Nick's, for zipper replacement in October 2015.  I finally got an email on November 10, saying they received the boots and were in process.  Since then I sent them several emails and updated my credit card but received  no answer.  The last email was sent in January.  This business has given good service in the past but now they can't even answer an email. ... more

Amazing guys! Very efficient and oh so knowledgeable! The owner was specially nice and explained everything in details before asking me to decide.

Oh my precious shoes .... How I love you.   Thanks to Nick, all of my beautiful collection are wearable.   Whether they are being stretched, taken in, resoled, zippers replaced, heels repaired, etc. Nick is the only person I would trust with my beloved Fluevogs.   Same for luggage.   He has never let me down.

quick efficient and cheap
did a minor job on my boot
and now it's good as new
problem solved.

Did amazing job on a couple of Church's dress shoes. Love the rubber bottoms and replacing the rubber is a lot cheaper than getting Church's to do it!

My pair of boots needed a sole protector with grip and of course, I want Vibram soles. I was quoted $75+tax. I was very happy as the shop owner was very informative with what options he has to offer. He gave me samples of what sole protector I can use for my boots. Speaking of service and quality, this shop is very reputable for it and that's why I went to this one as it got so many positive... more

This place is one of those awesome little mom-and-pop shops that does well because the quality of service is amazing, and it doesn't need to rely on advertising or location. They did a beautiful job replacing the sole on a pair of leather boots I brought in and the customer service made it a very pleasant experience. I live in Mississauga now and still want to make the drive here to have my... more

Nick is the real deal. I have a pair of $400 boots that were attacked by a cat. This little devil destroyed them. I had only worn them 5 times or so and they were 3 months old. I originally took them to that leather man on Davenport but he doesn't do shoes so he recommended Nick's.

This place is amazing. Firstly, he did an amazing job fixing the boots - glued down torn pieces, filled claw... more

I needed the zippers replaced on my leather boots. Another place charged me $50 to have one of the zippers replaced last year. Here they explained to me why this was happening and charged me only $90 to replace both zippers. The heels also needed to be replaced on the boots. The prices are very fair and they are very friendly and honest. They cleaned and shined the leather boots up for me at no... more

What a wonderful place. Nice honest staff. I brought in shoes to have something minor addressed and they did it free of charge right away. Gave me great advice and were just all around the best humans. For sure go there for repairs great service!!

Also. They had nice belts for sale, were crazy knowledgeable and were on a first name basis with a bunch of other customers.

Great place.

Nick's work is no ordinary, I took my Dr. Martens here for some minor repair and they did an awesome job! It is worth the price, definitely will come back here for some shoe repair.

They do a great job here and for under $100. Service took about a week, but couldn't be happier!

I took a pair of Uggs (the Baileys for those who are in the know) that had a tear (about an inch or so long at the toe). Had originally went to another cobbler who did a terrible job (literally sewed it with a thread and needle). Needless to say, the threads came off. Then came jolly Nick. He is a magician - my Bailey Uggs came back as good as new - literally! - with his use of invisible... more

I am wearing a pair of custom shoes by Nick's right now. It is my 2nd pair. They have been really good about making sure I and my feet, are happy.

Their prices for custom shoes are incredibly reasonable. I have no idea why anyone would go to a big box store and get something made in a Chinese factory for about the same money. With Nick's you are actually getting your money's worth and not... more

Can do attitude and always give it to you straight. Just a great all round boot shop that's been doing the same thing right for a very long time! The only problem is that everyone knows it now, so they are super busy!

I probably have the smallest calves known to man, and I was having issues finding equestrian field boots that fit. I didn't want to spend in the thousands for custom, so I bought a pair and then started my research for a cobbler who: 1. Knew about equestrian field boots (as not all in Toronto, aka not horse-country do)2. Would be able to take in my boots for a reasonable priceI called a few... more

Brought in my motorcycle boots to have the zippers replaced, they not only replaced the zippers with much higher quality zippers than the original, but the even replaced the worn out vinyl tongue with leather.Boots were conditioned and polished, I am very happy. Not cheap, but you sure do get what you pay for.

I bought a pair of boots last year, and while the body of them is still in great shape, each boot had a hole clean through the sole, as well as extremely worn spots.

I brought them in Thursday afternoon and spoke to two people in the store about them. They explained exactly what they would do to fix them, and the materials they would use. Usually leather is used to rebuild the sole, and is in... more

On the spot. Very fairly priced and vary good workmanship. No nonsense or marketing c@!p. Will return feeling confident.

I took boots here at 10am to have a zipper replaced and they were ready the next day at 8am.

They were shiny and looked good as new. They even took the pull from the old broken zipper and put it onto the new zipper, so the boots match perfectly and you can't tell the zipper as replaced at all.

It was 45 dollars which seems expensive but with the insanely fast service I cannot complain. Other... more

I brought in a pair of winter boots that I'd literally walked the heels right off. They were salt-stained and a real mess - I didn't care much about appearances, but I wanted to, y'know, not break my neck wearing 'em.

The work was done beautifully, and they cleaned the boots up and made them look pretty darned close to new. I was very, very impressed with that, and the price, which was... more

Almost 10 years ago, I purchased two pairs of boots from the Fluevog store. My eyes loved them but my feet did not. I wore them a few times but found that the hard leather soles left my tender tootsies in agony by day's end.

Still, I couldn't bear to throw them out. They lie dorman for years on end, in my parents' closet, until one day I might find a way to make them wearable.

And Lo, I came... more

Close by.
Decently priced.
Professional.
Friendly.
Efficient.
Expert.

I brought my boot to replace the rubber heel, and within a day, it was fixed and returned back to me at $13.

I also brought in some strappy shoes that needed some more holes poked in. They did it free of charge!

SIDE-NOTE: I know one Yelper stated otherwise, but Nick's does appear to accept VISA here regardless of the total cost of repair.

Anyway, this isn't really a shoe repair shop so much as a leather and shoe repair.
I'm going to bring my leather purse in to see what they can do because I had a great experience with my boot repair.

I bought a pair of boots based more on style and less on... more

This is the go-to place for Blundstones. I called the Australian Boot Co. because of split soles in my 10 year old Blunnies (I thought they'd NEVER wear out), and they recommended Nick's.

For 85 bucks all in, they re-soled them in a week, and they did a great job (see pics). He (Nick?) told me "if ANYthing goes wrong, bring them back ANY time".

(They also make boots here. They'll duplicate... more

Only place in Toronto that does full cork and rubber sole replacement of Birkenstocks.

Pros:
+ Repair seemed to be done well (will report back if not)
+ Nice store facility compared to most other shoe repair stores.
+ Seems to give good advice about what you can do with your shoes, not the used car salesman approach I've gotten at other places, trying to upsell you.
+ I bought some laces for... more
