Champ Shoe Repair — Attraction in Orange

this place is INCREDIBLE! their work is jaw droppingly impeccable!! i buy a lot of secondhand higher-ish end shoes AND i tend to blow through shoes like it’s nobodies business so seeing my shoes brought back from the brink of death (and sometimes beyond) is astounding! i wish i took before and after pictures, i brought two shoes in expecting the worst and they somehow not only brought them back but made them better than ever. one pair needed not only a complete reglue of the soles but a new shank and the other was an old fashioned welt sole that was ripping apart at the seam and both were returned in better than perfect condition. i’m so grateful i stumbled across them, now me and my favorite shoes will be...

Updated review, November 2022: I had my old red wing iron rangers re-soled here and they did an amazing job. I wanted to vibram crepe sole which is a lot more comfortable than the original iron ranger soles. The shop did it in about a week with a fair price! Couldn’t be happier with the way my boots turned out (see my photos). They also cleaned the boots really well. I’ll be back for more stuff down the line here. Also I appreciate how it’s a small business, and I think family run.

Original review, summer 2022: Cool shop. I asked to get some eyelets for my Redwing chukkas. The guy at the counter recommended some black eyelets and they look great. I think I’ll come back and ask about getting my iron...

After a failed attempt to reglue the soles of work boots, I finally decided to take them to this small business. Older couple, the owners I assume, were very friendly and assisted me with questions about the repairs. Took them in Saturday morning and told them I needed the boots the next day since I use them for work Monday morning.. they were able to get them done quick and had them done Sunday morning. Price was very good imo pretty cheap. They look good nicely glued back together.We will see how they hold up. Great place.will take my other boots to get a good cleaning....
