      Excellent job! Good material used to replace the tips on my heels. Much more reasonable prices.

      I have been going here for years and they do great work. Just got shoes fixed, but he's fixed purses several times as well. Affordable, high quality, friendly, great service. Highest recommendation.

      Harry's Shoe Repair is a great place to get your shoes and handbags repaired.

      He's very nice and willing to go the extra mile to make a customer happy. The shop is small, the prices are reasonable. He has been at this location for many years serving Berkeley.

      Excellent work! And reasonably priced.
      I gave him badly worn (and partly broken) ECCO sandals. Now they're like new. I just hope he doesn't retire.

      I recently took my large REI rolling duffel to Narains for repair. The bag was generally in great shape, but two bottom corners were fraying and threatening the integrity of an otherwise great suitcase. Narains turned down the job since they couldn't get it in their heavy duty machines, but suggested Harry's.
      Harry said it would be all handwork and charged what sounded like a lot to me ($80).
      But
      a) REI no longer makes this bag and
      b) an equivalent size and quality bag from LL Bean or somewhere quality like that would be twice as expensive, and
      c) I would rather invest money in keeping good older items in service than throw them "away" and bring new plastic stuff into this beleaguered world and
      d) I like to support local businesses that try to keep our things in repair.
      So I told him to go ahead. I am happy with the outcome. The repair and reinforcement looks very solid. I'll update if the stitching fails prematurely, but assume no news is good news!

      Harry's Shoe Repair is total genius. This wonderful establishment has extended the life of more pairs of my shoes than I can count. But the skill and consideration for the particular way I wear out my shoes is astounding. I cannot recommend highly enough.

      Harry is a skilled craftsman with affordable prices. Had some expensive boots resoled and multiple heels re-tipped or in the case of one stiletto heel fully replaced and was pleased with all the results.
