Superior Shoe Repair 839 A Main Street, Waltham, MA 02451

"Love me some Superior Shoe! Everything show-related you could ever need, and, importantly, the best shoe repair and shoeshine I know in Boston. Street parking, but you can always grab a space no problem and it’s free (2 hours)."

"After using my Campomaggi bag for years, the inside lining and zippers got ripped and torn. The incredibly skilled people at Superior Shoe Repair made my bag look like new at a very reasonable price. They replaced the lining and 4 large zippers and you can't even tell that the bag had work done. All seams line up perfectly. I am so excited that I get to use my bag for many more years to come. Thank you so much."

"I have had purse straps re-attached, heels replaced and soles replaced. Every repair I have had here over the last 15 years has been high quality. Make sure to check the store hours because it's not always open, but it is much better quality and more affordable than anything else in the area. Thanks for extending the lifetime of my favorite, comfiest shoes and salvaging purses I would have had to have thrown away."

"John was SO helpful and explained and answered all of my questions from how to take care of my shoes to “is it worth it to repair?”. John also works with a former foot surgeon who also has a wealth of medical knowledge on feet and recommendation for orthotics, etc. They both are super friendly and I had a wide ranging conversation with them, learning a lot about MA, Waltham, and their past life experiences! I highly recommend their services and my hiking boots were beautifully repaired and patched up (I said I didn’t mind the look of patches and he was happy to hear any specifics I wanted as the finished look.) Prices were also fair and the shop is located right in the heart of Waltham! The shop has been there for over 30 years!!!"

"My wingtip oxfords have a lot of miles on them. I was contemplating getting a new pair, but the uppers were still in good condition. I had John take a look at them. He suggested simply repairing the heel, replacing the top piece, and adding leather support to the heel counter. The finished product looks great! I spent roughly a third the price of replacing them. I am very grateful for John's advice and craftsmanship."
