Cobbler's Bench Shoe Repair

Oscar is amazing. This shop has been at this location for as long as I can remember, I am not sure how long Oscar has been there but I am glad he is there now. I was quarantined during COVID so I am not sure what went down back then. Well now back to Oscar. He always gives me reasonable quotes for shoes. I have seen him interact with other customers and I can tell they love his work. On top of doing an amazing job on my shoes they also make keys. This shop is one of Union Station's hidden gems. I hope more people give this place a chance. Oscar is phenomenal and his vibe/spirit is beautiful. I will continue to bring my special shoes here. Thank you Oscar. Oscar speaks Spanish. Muchas Gracias! Oscar habla español. And you were sitting in an aluminum beach chair

Oscar did a wonderful job of cleaning my red and blue suede shoes. I've had them for at least 5 years and noticed the color was starting to fade. I dropped them off on a Friday and picked a week later. They looked brand new. Oscar did a wonderful job. I believe the company also cleans and repairs purses and athletic bags too.

Amazing cobbler. I highly recommend coming to this store for any shoes repair needs. I brought a pair of knee high, St. John leather boots to this cobbler to get the calf area stretched. It was such an awesome experience. Oscar was extremely helpful and meticulous with his work. The leather boots needed to be stretched about an inch and a half in the calf area, he was very careful to not damage the leather. He walked me through the entire process and had me come by the shop to try on the boots throughout the process to make sure they fit perfectly. Not only was it super affordable, but I felt very confident and reassured throughout the process. They even kept the shop open 20 minutes after they were supposed to close so that I could stop by after work. The shop is in a great, central location in Union station, and they are very accommodating. I HIGHLY recommend!

Sign outside says $9.99 for a shine while you wait. The guy in the shop wanted me to pay $37 and said they’d be ready in a week. When I pointed out the sign. He just looked at me saying nothing. I don’t recommend patronizing businesses that price arbitrarily. Edit: The owner is lying in their response. The boots were dry. I haven’t worn them for weeks. Shop owner is lying. I’m attaching a pic of the dry boots on the counter of another shop that was able to take care of them along with a screenshot of the owner’s response in case they delete.

Oscar has saved my favorite shoes. He successfully matched a color that is nit regular and I was totally satisfied. He's my go to guy for sure

I have brought the gentleman named Oscar over 15 pairs of shoes since January 2024 & all of them are solid & functioning just fine. Highly recommended A+++

This place does EXCELLENT work with not only shoes, but most any leather garment or accessory. The owner is super nice and prices are reasonable.

Extremely quick, helpful, and friendly service fixing a piece of luggage. Would recommend.

Always enjoy getting my shoes repaired and polished at this store. The person is professional and quick.

Perfect! Trustworthy! Timely! If you have some shoes that need repair stop walking by this place and swoop on in! Staff is passionate about the craft! Shoes were done on time and above expectations.
