Gino's Wide Shoes & Shoe Repair 5500 Grossmont Center Drive, La Mesa, CA 91942

"Very friendly staff, work completed as promised. So happy with the new zipper (found by them to match) on my very old bag and the new soles on my Birkenstocks, both have been brought back to life!!"

"I really really want to give these guys an amazing review because they seem so kind, genuine and so many people say so many amazing things about them, plus Gino & Leo are extremely friendly… However, 3 out of 3 times I’ve come to pick up my shoes or boots and everytime (even when they call me to say they are ready) the job hasn’t been done or done properly. So I end up waiting a minimum of 30 minutes for them to do a rushed job on the spot, even to my detriment since one time they damaged my boots and I had to send them back to be redone, which again wasn’t done (even tho they called me 2xs to say come pick them up) and I’m now waiting again for them to be done on a day where I have a crazy busy schedule. I’m usually left wondering what they did and how much of the job they completed or if all of it was done in these rushed few minutes while I’m waiting. I always have a pleasant time chatting with Leo in the meantime, but on days like today it’s extremely frustrating. These are really wonderful humans, that’s why I kept coming to them, but sadly I haven’t had a single wonderful outcome to date. This (pics below) is my result after a promise of a real nice Conditioning and polishing that will leave them with a like-new appearance. I really appreciate Leo always trying to take care of me in those few rushed moments like today, working hard to polish by hand… But now I’m stressed and might not make it to my event on time."

"Had a pair pf Ferragamos re-soled lasted a week, I paid $150 going to find a better location I 100% do not recommend"

"I’ve brought both my work Timberlands and my dress Timberland boots here and they do a fantastic job. I had some toe stitches repaired and resin sealed on one pair of work boots and resin on the seam of a new pair to prevent it from happening to them as well. Just brought in my 10 year old black Timberlands for a deep clean and got them back today looking brand new with a fresh pair of laces on the house. Great service and a local small business. Win win."

"Very good work, quality and time is taken into every pair of shoe brought here. Gino and his staff are great guys who do a great job hand down!"
