Model Shoe Renew 1934 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley, CA 94704

"This place is terrific. I have brought them running shoes to be resoled, a purse and a briefcase to be refurbished, and a pair of shoes to be re-heeled. Without exception, each of these old items comes back looking like new. In an age many people simply throw old stuff in the landfill, Model Shoe Renew's outlook is both environmentally sound and beneficial to the consumer. I hope to buy a pair of shoes there soon. Meantime, bravo--and keep up the good work!"

"Love this place! Resoled my Birks and resized a Longchamp belt beautifully. You can see they did the belt without destroying the interior logo which is important if you ever want to resell an item. They are always kind and cheerful when they help you."

"I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service I received at this shop! Judy worked her magic on my beloved Jordan 3 Retros, and I am beyond impressed with the results. My sneakers look brand new again – the rejuvenation and repair work is truly remarkable. The attention to detail and craftsmanship are second to none. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and highly recommend their services to fellow sneaker heads. Five stars all the way!"

"Fantastic service, and they charge an amount that may seem spendy, but to me seemed reasonable because I was able to get same-day service when I really needed it! The amount of shoe accessories they sell is AMAZING — see photos! Laces, polish, inserts, etc etc. Thrilled to find this shop, as I tend towards super-well-made shoes that I hold onto for as long as I can, which means I need a reliable shoe repair store."
