Very friendly and professional service. I had a pair of hiking boots, which sole had separated from the top, repaired. Only time will tell the quality of the repair. 5 stars for the service for now.

Old-school quality craftsmanship! I'm happy I took my boots here for a sole replacement. They did a fantastic job of seamlessly stitching the new Vibram sole onto them. The boots are now as good as new. Thanks!

No need to replace your favorite shoes when they can fix them and extend their lives!These old Birkenstocks that were going to be replaced are now better than brand new ones. Why? Because they put a Vibram sole on them so they are way less slippery.They also rebuilt my favorite Scarpa Hiking boots! A discontinued model so I am so happy to give them a massive life extension!

Amazing experience with The Quick Cobbler. I had reached out in email about a Chisel toe Blundstone resole, and Patrick emailed back the next day, super friendly! Chisel toe is less common of a Blundstone shape so I was super glad they could help me out.In email, Patrick had shared with me they could put any sole I wanted on the boots, on their website they've listed their recommendations and most popular options. Once in store, the front desk staff were very helpful in guiding me through what they can do. It turns out I could also choose between a foam or a rubber welt, polish/no polish, recondition/no recondition, and of course even more sole options.In the end I went with a foam welt, the Stockbridge sole (to continue the dressy vibe), no polish (the shoes were originally in nubuck so I wanted it kept as is), and recondition. They also were so kind to replace my insoles. Loving the service! My boots have lasted me almost 8 years when a crack started forming on one of the soles, and was slowly getting worse. I paid a visit at that time to book a slot, and the front desk let me know their next booking was a month out (busy winter season!), though I could keep wearing the boots in the mean time. I wore the boots until the first moment water started was seeping in from the bottom, and while they said they could have repaired the midsole, I preferred less complications so didn't. Now, the boots feel solid and like new, and well worn in too :) Here's hoping to another decade!(Photos taken a few weeks after the repair - happy to say, they are doing very well up against rainy Vancouver downpours, and keeping my feet completely dry)

Very helpful staff.As soon as you enter the shop the intoxicating smell of leather hits you. Beautiful shop!Water was seeping into my shoes so I went to them. They were very straightforward and told me what I needed to do to fix it.

They do a competent job but should be called the Slowest Cobbler in Canada. They have had a 2 month backlog for any service for almost a year and the owner hasnt lifted a finger to address the issue. When coupled with the highest prices in town and a strange requirement to pay 100% of their assessed fee up front, it becomes obvious you are best served taking your business elsewhere.

I am extremely disappointed with the Quick Cobbler and recommend you take your beloved shoes elsewhere. I went by with a pair of leather boots, in a poor state, and asked if they would be able to help clean them up (there were nicks, a couple of the grommets were loose, overall old leather boots wear and tear). The man at the counter said yes of course they can buff the nicks, fix the grommets, and overall help give my boots more life. So I trusted him - third generation business, I was inspired.When I went back for the boots they looked terrible. They are now three different colours (all different from the original colour), the loose grommets were pulled out but not replaced nor fixed, just tied into the ends of my shoelaces. Overall the boots like terrible and I feel really disappointed. When I shared this with the staff at the counter she essentially said 'sorry too bad'.If you love your leather boots, keep them away from the Quick Cobbler.

Patrick did an amazing job on a complete, zero drop re-sole of my Blundstones with Vibram Kletter soles. He and his team were friendly, professional, and communicative throughout the process. I couldn't be happier with their expert service, or recommend The Quick Cobbler more highly.

Highly reputable for repair service and workmanship.We recently had a pair of shoes re-soled.They did a great job. The shoe looks new. And feels comfortable.They are typically busy and not so quick. But we did not mind.You have to make advance payment for the full invoice. “You pay as you go”.

Very quick, excellent job, and fair prices. The cobbler made great suggestions to get my my desired outcome on a pair of shoes with straps that were too long.
