Tri-Valley Cobbler

"Five stars for Tri Valley Cobbler. He has a great set of skills and is always kind and willing to offer up creative suggestions. Use them for shoes, boots, belts and purses. Love having somewhere to turn locally for these needs."

"Brought my favorite leather boots to replace the heals. This shop is fabulous, you feel like you went back in time. The owner is super busy and still manage to be polite and helpful. My boots were ready in a couple of days and he delivered them clean. What I paid was reasonable considering the cost of a brand new pair of boots. Please note that they only accept cash (no card payments)."

"I purchased a pair of Blundstone boots which have a notoriously long break-in period. I wanted to take them on a trip in the next week, so I brought them to Tri-Valley Cobbler with the hopes that he might stretch the leather, speeding up the process. He was honest that he might not be successful due to the elastic side panels, but was willing to try. When I picked the boots up the next day, he was skeptical that he had been able to effect a change, but when I put them on, I noticed a big difference. The boots were much more comfortable and less constrictive around the ankle and top of the foot. The service was very reasonable and ready the next day. I highly recommend Tri-Valley Cobbler for leather stretching services."

"I had an orange stain on a pair of beloved white sneakers. Took the shoe to a different cobbler who told me that the stain could not be removed and sent me away. Brought the shoe here and the gentleman who helped me was fantastic. He was very creative and resourceful, trying different solutions and techniques until almost all of the stain came out and the shoe was restored. Very impressed by the excellent quality of work and friendly service, will definitely be back!"

"Dan is a true craftsman and his workmanship clearly reflects just that. I’ve brought multiple pairs of boots (ranging from Ted baker’s to Allen Edmond’s) over the last year, beginning in August of 2022 and has exceeded all expectations every single time. I live in Alameda and I’m so delighted I stumbled upon his shop."
