Remy (The Shoe Doctor), repaired them to excellent condition.I traveled to Grand Rapids from Bridgman MI to go to The Cobbler. It was well worth the trip. I will, in the future return to The Cobbler for my leather repair needs.

Craig W: Can’t say better things about Remy. I wear dress shoes everyday for work and on my first visit to The Cobbler I brought in a pair of my favorites and he was super honest with me, he’s like:“I can fix these but it’ll cost almost as much as if you just went and bought a new pair. Let me give you a card to call Johnston Murphy see if they can find you a pair just like this and if they can’t bring these back and I’ll fix them.”Super honest businessman, he’ll have my business forever now.

Jeen Na: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueWorked with Remy to get my favorite pair of leather boots fixed up. From the moment you walk in, you can tell that you will be in good hands. Would highly recommend.

Sally Wesorick: They did a great job replacing the velcro on my baretrap sandals a few years ago. Went back with some other repairs and they were closed during business hours. Left a message and they never called me back. Did they go out of business? September 2021.

Anthony Manning: Dropped my work boots off to Remy for repair and I was astonished by the quality of work he does I will definitely be bringing all future repairs to him. He is an honest man and will let you know if it's worth fixing. I will recommend The Cobbler to everyone I know that needs shoe or leather repair.

Bernadette Veenstra: The buckle on my daughter's Irish dancing hard shoe broke off last night. She has a dress rehearsal this evening, and five performances over the weekend. So, the shoe really needed fixed today. Sam reattached the buckle while I waited, and it cost $10. I will definitely go back for any of my shoe repair needs! Thanks for prompt, quick, gracious service!!

Emma Chen: Work was fast and amazing couldn't even see the repairs done to my purse and luggage looked brand new

Patricia M: Sam is great. Friendly and honest. Thank you.

John Rice: Excellent shoe service. Always top notch!

Moe Faux: I needed repairs on a motorcycle race boot, which is rather a unique item to work on. Sam took in the task without hesitation, got it done for a fair price, and was pleasant and accommodating when a bit of follow up work was needed. He's earned all business in the future!

Grace Boyd: Sam made my old Coach purse look like new!I'm very happy and highly recommend Cascade Shoe Service

David Reynolds: Perfect work. Great guy. It's fun to talk a bit with him. Very invested in his family and work and being kind. Makes the boot fix even better

karen kwekel: Charged me $25 to repair a few loose stitches on a dress shoe. Went to pick it up Saturday morning. Closed! The website said the store was open from 9 to 1pm. NOT! Will not go back.

John Tierney: A great place

A Baker: Great place to get your Shoes serviced at more. This is the only place in town that will work on Tap shoes, that I have found in Greater GR.

Susan Pellerito: Sam the shoe man is Solid👊 fixed my Uggs like a Rockstar!

Dawn Brooks: Sam the owner is amazing. He does quality work and gives friendly service. Great place.

Melanie Stotenbur: Friendly. Fast. Knowledgeable. Bit pricey.

John Blomeling: I walked in with a belt that lost the stitching around the buckle. 10 minutes later I walked out with a belt no less the worst for wear. I talked with the owner whom has been in business 37 years. All in all a very pleasant visit. This business gets my highest rating!

Ashley: It's hard to find people who are truly good at their craft. Sam is one of them. I took my father-in-laws leather belt in to get fixed for my husband. Sam got it done in time for my husband's birthday and it looks great. High quality custom work. Also does great at repairing high end shoes. I Wouldn't take in shoes that are cheap, I wouldn't invest the money into fixing them.

Sarah Joseph: Not great workmanship. I had my sandals re-soled. The uppers are now scuffed badly on the sides. It looks like they were already attached when they edge of the sole was ground down.I don’t think I would go back.

Barbara S. Brown: I had a heel put on and she did a good job so I brought in a sandel for a full sole lift. I asked for 5 mm. She wasn't able to grind it evenly so I asked her to do it again. That was after she put it back on the pick-up shelf when I had her assistant communicate the problem. Finally, she re-did the shoe, but it ended up 7mm instead of 5 and it took 6 months to get it back. I tried the shoe and it was uncomfortable on my back. In fact, it took several months for my back to straighten out. I later asked for a heel lift and she told me I'd need to get a full sole. Why would I do that if she couldn't do the first one? I had to take the sandel someplace else to get it fixed and pay more money. I would have preferred to have been told that she couldn't do it. In the end I was a guinea pig, used for practice, not getting what I paid for. I try to support new businesses, especially those of women, but this went off my radar! In response: No comparison. Never admitted amount was right. Never misjudged. See above about heel lift--already had one from you! I picked them up a year ago. False accusations won't help your business. I would think about how you treat your customers.

Sam Berens: Awesome service had my work boots fixed and back on my way in minutes. Will definitely go back for future repairs.

Mandy Benedict: The customer service is outstanding. They are very friendly. They are fair and reasonable with their pricing. They do amazing work. I would highly highly recommend them.

Madison Word: Liz was so helpful and fixed my shoes while so quick! I hardly noticed anytime had passed while petting her two adorable shop cats!!!!! Highly recommend

Robert Meringa: Elizabeth @ Footworks absolutely rocks! She has bailed me out more than once fixing my boys goalie gear and also a boat lift cover. So friendly, attentive to detail and just plain helpful! I know others who speak highly of their service as well. - One happy goalie dad

Mike Jacobs: Had 2 zippers fixed, one coat and a suitcase. They did the coat while I waited. It took maybe 5 minutes. I left the suitcase and they had it done in just an hour or so. Great customer service, good work and very friendly team. I'd recommend them any time.

Karen A Jaramillo: Excellent service, very friendly and efficient I recommend this place

Kate VanDyke: I had a pair of boots where the inside fabric on the heel was worn, reveling the hard plastic form of the shoe and they just sloppily sewed it instead of patching it, so that was really disappointing. However, I asked to have my boots fixed by the next time it snowed and they made great on that promise and the price was very fair. Unfortunately, my shoes are still unwearable after bringing them in.

Becky Tackett: Did an excellent job of replacing heel caps on a pair of high heels and the price was very reasonable...much lower than other shoe repairs in town.

Aubrey Bosgraaf: I broke a zipper on my husbands favorite shirt and need to get it fixed and found Foot Works online. Elizabeth quickly fixed my shirt while I was there and was so kind and helpful. Store was very clean and staff was friendly!

Sally Colby: I highly recommend this place and have used Foot Works for years now! Elizabeth and her staff are friendly and personable. She was able to fix several things that needed new zippers and replaced the velcro on my shoes and sealtbelt strap. She was able to cut off my dad's belt buckle and put snaps on 2 belts so I can interchange between them. I am so excited she put new life into that buckle.

Amy Brouwer: Absolutely amazing work. I never thought I would be able to wear my favorite boots ever again and now they look like brand new. Highly recommend.

Hugh Williams: Foot Works is one of a few shoe repair stores left. I phoned ahead. Elizabeth had what I needed. I arrived and a young woman was filling in. My item was waiting on the counter. Elizabeth had pulled it from the shelf and put my name on it. Wow. Great personal service. Foot Works is precisely the individual business we should support. Not the mega stores whose profits leave West Michigan.

Roxanna Fish: The worst customer service I have ever experienced. I dropped pants off for a simple button fix and was told they would be ready same day. I showed up the next morning, Thursday, to be told they weren't done but that day or the next. I showed up Friday morning, to find that they were closed with a sign on the door that they would be closed for the next week. Nothing was said prior to this sign. I showed up Monday morning, a week later, and still didn't have them done (these were for a photo shoot for my daughter). I asked for them back and the button I paid for, the owner? refused telling me that the money was a deposit and no button for me. After a brief argument...Fine, I turn to leave and she says "I'm sorry that I took my kids on vacation" very sarcastically. I turned and told her that she was unprofessional for not alerting her customers to her upcoming vacation so they could make other plans. She said I was harassing her and called the cops. The cops did come, a report has been filed and I am no longer welcome in her store. I repaired the pants myself in under five minutes. I wouldn't recommend this establishment to anyone.

Candace LadyCandyland Moore: ☆Resoled, repaired, & polished one of my favorites to brand new. Will definitely be coming back here for future shoe-tastic times☆

Abby Hildebrand: I rarely take time to leave reviews but I had the best customer service experience I may have ever had. I had a shoe emergency, the sole of my shoes literally almost came completely off of the shoe and I had no other shoes with me. I found this place online and not only were the woman friendly and welcoming but I believe the owners daughter was the one that literally offered me a pair of any shoes she had for sale to borrow so at least I had something to wear. Not only did she offer this she came around the corner, asked my size and got a new pair that still had tags and said….see if these work. I insisted on buying them after I wouldn’t let her win her offer of simply borrowing. I told her she was so sweet and kind and that more people like are needed in this world. To top it off a gentleman walks in as I am about to leave and asks if she still sold stamps. Apparently a couple years ago there was a different business there that sold stamps. She explained that he must have been thinking of the business that was here before her and that they didn’t sell stamps. She then asked him “how many” do you need and he responded, just one. She said she had one in her truck and went out and gave the gentleman her personal stamp.Tell me that’s not only amazing customer service but a beautiful hearted human being.

Jane Hilbrand: Fantastic service and super-great prices. The owner looked at my shoes and instead of my stop-gap suggestion, she permanently fixed both my shoes in MINUTES. I could not have asked for better service and will recommend Foot Works to anyone and everyone!

Jonathan Dubbink: Exceptional customer service and product quality. Will definitely be going back for all of my zipper, sewing, and shoe repair needs!

KT NTJ: BEWARE: Of fake “designer shoes” being sold here. They are telling people the shoes are authentic and selling them at “close to retail” prices. It’s a scam. Purchase those at your own risk!

Roger Drasiewski: I needed the Velcro on my shoes replaced. He cut the bad part of the Velcro out and then just reattached the Velcro to the shoe. I also asked for a lift to be put in my left shoe and heel replaced. All he did was put on 2heel plates. Took 5 minutes to do the work. Said he had no repair material and still charged me $40. Rip off.

Ears! etc.: CJ is the best! Very humorous and prompt. He's my new tailer!

Michele Beesley: CJ can often do repairs while you wait. Out of the three times I've used his services, twice my repairs were done right then. The third time, ready the next day. Very reasonable pricing!

Rob Campbell: For a reasonable price, CJ repaired a jacket that looks as good as new. His service was fast and high-quality.

Chad Paalman: CJ is the man! I was very impressed with his expediency, detail of his work and very pleasant personality! Note that he does only take cash or check.

Ryan Rockwell: Great work!

karen hansen: The guy that owns the shoe repair is crazy. He was rude too expensive, won't let you leave your shoes without giving him a cash deposit and will not take credit cards. He was very rude when I offered him a credit card.

Deb Laakso: They do a fabulous job with alterations. As a short person most everything I buy needs hemming. I will continue to use CJ's for all my tailoring needs The new location is easy to get to.

Robin Thompson: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ValueHad a seam on my slippers come out, the whole top. Chu did a great job. Looked brand new and original.

Tisha L: Horrible service! The wife took my items telling me $5 per item totaling $25 now the husband telling me $10 per item at pick up due to bling! The bling did not just appear after if was dropped of!!! I had to call the police to get my items back!!! And the Chinese lady keep calling me a liar!!! NEVER AGAIN will I use this place!!!!! DONT DO IT! HORRIBLE PLACE
