A truly experienced & skilled shoe repairer.
Damien is the best I've found in N SD County

I never leave any bad reviews. My philosophy is if nothing good to say, just don’t say anything at all. With a lots of hesitation, especially considering small mom & pop style store I wouldn’t want to hurt, I decided to say a few words with protection of consumers in mind as I, too was mislead by a headliner review who also took his shoes to be stretched which was my objective as well. I was charged $30, although, the young lady at counter tried to charge me $15. But, I got no issues with the cost even though I have no idea what the fair price is. So, shoes never got stretched properly. I had to go back twice and still not done. He actually tried to blame on my irregular foot size. I don’t think my right foot is any larger but not a podiatrist myself so this could be a medical possibility. All I know is that throughout my entire life, I never needed to stretch out any shoes & all my shoes fit comfortably & properly. These are fancy designer sneakers on sale I purchased from Bloomingdales which I knew were bit tight but they are usually several hundreds of dollars & on sale for like $250 so I knew what I was signing up for. Anyways, he actually tried to charge me additional $15 for another attempt & again didn’t think it was fair to be charged extra for something he should have done correctly in 1st place but why do I care about $15? However, I had to come back 2 days later for this. They aren’t very close to freeway at all in inconveniently located place. Plus, I started to wonder if I could trust him anymore with another try. So, I left without an argument but definitely informed him of my disdain! I want to be completely fair & not unjust. So, perhaps other forms of shoe repair, he may excel. But, definitely in regards to shoe stretching, go somewhere else.

So professional and quick service! Thank you so much for fixing the zipper on my luxury bag and the zipper on my jeans. Beautiful work.

This place restored, polished, and cleaned 4 pairs of shoes for me and they all looked new/ brand new. If you have some old shoes that you love, in need of repair, take them to El Camino Shoe repair for renewal.

Multiple repeat customer here, spanning 2 decades. Quality of repairs is A+ & generosity unparalleled. PRICELESS!

Heel started peeling 2 months after getting shoes repaired. The guy wanted to charge for repairing his bad work. Poor detail, poor effort and poor performance.

Just picked up my zip up boots and they came out looking better than brand new! Blown away by the craftsmanship that was done on these.
Heel replacement, zipper replacement, and cleaning. All came out looking great.
