The before and after speaks for itself - amazing experience every time. Dress shoes / boots tend to go through rough winters and without fail, Benson Shoe Repair makes them look BRAND NEW every time. Highly recommend.

I was looking for a place to re-sole some boots. This place had the best reviews so I called first. Without seeing the boots he estimated about a week or 2 for completion. I brought them straight there and met Mike, the owner. I was immediately impressed with his knowledge and experience. I had my boots back in 3 days. Even with some minor customization. The boots look and feel great.

I am sorry I havent taken before pics of every single pair of shoes and every single bag Ive ever taken to Benson Shoe Repair, because any after pic by itself would never convey whatever leather jujitsu this man does. I do, though, have before and afters of my Birkenstocks. As good as they look, the transformation of my shoes, boots and bags is even more unbelievable. Its like getting something brand new every time! Very friendly proprietor, other customers are always friendly, and I love love LOVE the dog.

I had two pairs of sandals that needed repaired. One just needed re-stitched, but the other was a pair of Birkenstocks. The leather that went between the toes ripped and I thought there was no way they could be repaired. I was wrong. Benson Shoe Repair for the win! They not only repaired them, they were ready in just a few days and the cost was incredibly reasonable. They also were honest when I asked about resoling my daughters Birks. They told me they could resole them but it would be better to just purchase a new pair. Excellent craftmanship, great value and honesty! I highly recommend.

They do AMAZING work! Best shoe repair in Omaha. I took my favorite pair of Chelsea boots I’ve had for years here recently and they look brand new. They were basically shot (as you’ll see in the before pictures, the heels were so worn down that they were uneven. They completely rebuilt the heels, stained them (you can’t even tell where they rebuilt it!), and polished the leather. They look better than new!

The proprietor took care of a problem for me that was the fault of another cobbler. He fixed my boots while I waited & was very reasonable. His Akita/timber wolf was beautiful.

Mike and his team are true miracle workers. I brought him two pairs of Frye boots that had walked the streets of New York City for nearly two decades and had been patched together by a series of dubious cobblers. He basically re-made both pairs, raising them from the dead. And man, they look fantastic! All for a very fair price. This is high quality workmanship and Mikes a nice guy to boot. Pun intended. Highly recommended.

I needed velcro fixed on my brace. Mike worked hard on it till it was done and it was like new. I cant express how pleased I was with his work and his genuine care and concern for my well-being. If you have work that needs done, it would be a huge mistake not to take it to Mike. Thank you!Murphy liked the Milkbone! Thanks again!

Review №26

Very cool shop that feels like you’re stepping back in time. They are very knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. They resoled my shoes for a reasonable price and they look and feel better than new.The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that they quoted me 1-2 weeks when I dropped the shoes off and it ended up taking 5 or 6.That said, it’s worth the wait and I’ll be going to them for any future shoe repairs as well as referring my friends/family.Update: I just went to have a second pair of shoes re-soled. They did a fantastic job and the shoes look better than new. I wish I had taken some before pictures for a before and after. Lightning quick turn around this time. Five stars!

This place is great! Had a pair of dress shoes that got scuffed up pretty good, and needed some serious care. Dropped off at 1:00 and 45 minutes later got the call they were ready. And they look really good.They dont take plastic, so bring cash with you.

Review №32

Some things you know you can always count on; Mike and Max at Benson Shoe Repair are a neighborhood staple with unbeatable customer service. Regardless of what he has going on, Mike never hesitates to stop what hes doing to give you his full attention when you enter through his shop door. If he can, he will handle repairs on the spot. He always explains the why behind the fix. I never leave without a little more knowledge about something than before I stopped in. His repair quality is outstanding, because he knows what hes doing and cares about the end result. Whether its shoes, boots, handbags, or leather gear, you can trust Mike to fix your [large and small] problems up right.

These guys did an awesome job on 2 pair of Birkenstock’s that should have been in months ago!! Nothing like having your favorite, most comfy shoes looking new again!! These guys have taken care of me and have serviced another pair of Birkenstock’s for over 25 years - yes, I have had a pair of shoes for 25 years!! Mike and his son have sewn leather jackets, replaced difficult zippers and snaps, added heal protectors and a great shine are just a few of the examples of the great repair service I have received over the years from Benson SHOE Repair.

I bought a pair of Birkenstocks about a year ago & wore the heels almost down to the cork. I took them in to Mike to have them repaired & was I thrilled to death with the job that Mike did. He also shined them up so good they look better than the day I bought them!! Thank you Mike!! I will highly recommend your services!! Lynn from Minnesota :)

Mike is awesome! I had a shoe strap that needed to be repaired, so I brought it in to see if it was salvageable. Maybe it was because it was a relatively simple fix, but he went to work on it right away. He stitched it up with a few minutes, and I am very pleased with the work! I can see why this shop has so many great reviews. I would highly recommend this place.

Mike fixed my moms purse after 4 other places told me it was too difficult of a job or they wanted over $200 to fix it. He did it at a reasonable price and quickly too. I expected the repair to take at least 1 week but it was a few days shy of that! Super pleased with how this worked out and he did a great job. Im super excited to surprise my mom with a bag we thought was unrepairable!

Brought in some new boots that were a size too big and non refundable. He customized an insole for the boot making my boots wearable once again. Now i don’t have to purchase a new pair. I would highly recommend this to anyone. He really does a great job and you can tell he really cares. Not to mention his affordable prices!

Just picked up my completely re-worked shoes and they look amazing! They saved and rebuilt the heels of my very favorite red pumps, and put in a new insole and added new rubber to the chunky black heels. Both pairs are like new! I’m simply ecstatic!

I couldnt be happier with my all around experience. Not only did Mike and Angelo brighten my afternoon, but they fixed my favorite FLAMINGO heels( same day)!!😊I took them to Caniglias for repair 2 times, and I will never give my business to them again!! These men are incredible at what they do, but they are also filled with personality, great stories and integrity!! I highly recommend this shop!! Plus...Maximus (the dog) is so cute!!!

Review №53

Mike is amazing with the work he does! Brought a pair of boots in that were almost near missing the heels out of them. He replaced the heels with a stronger Vibram heel, replaced the wrap around the heel, and shined them up to look brand new. I didnt even recognize the boots as being mine when I returned to pick them up. Awesome work guys!!

Review №54

Honestly, I picked this business off a list Google brought up when I was looking for purse repair. I called a different place first and didnt like how that other guy at unnamed business answered the phone. I love Benson and try to support the businesses there when I can, so this place was next to call. From the moment he picked up the phone until I left after he fixed my purse was a five star experience! Mike has been in business at that location for 40 years and you can tell he makes a friend with each customer. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Mike and Tony and the dog Maximus, and it wouldnt have been quite the same without Homer either! Made my day! And enough about customer service, he did a great job on my purse! I got it an estate sale years ago and used it for a long time. The handle broke and the inside was ripped. It is vintage and I just cant find one I like as much. He made it look just as good as it once was in no time at all!! Thanks a lot!!

Review №55

I just picked up my favorite pair of shoes today and am totally pleased with the job to refurbish them. I had the heels and soles replaced and the uppers stained and polished. They now look better than new. With the black cat soles and heels, I prefer to wear these shoes on wet days, rather than my leather soled shoes. This level of workmanship deserves 5 stars.

I agree with all the other five star reviews. I used Benson Shoe repair for the first time yesterday. I enjoyed talking to Mike. He explained what could and could not be done with my shoes and, as all of his customers know, he emphasized that he will call when your shoes are ready. Two hours later I was surprised to get the call that my shoes were ready. The price was VERY reasonable and my shoes looked GREAT. This is the place to go for shoe repair.

I went to Benson Shoe Repair this afternoon. I took a single shoe in that needed to be glued. The sole was seperating from the upper part of the shoe. Mike introduced himself, stopped what he was doing, and did the repair right on the spot. I dont live very close to his shop so I was happy that I didnt have to come back and pick it up another day. Ill be returning to Benson Shoe Repair for all of my shoe and handbag repairs.

I am a stickler when it comes to my boots, so when I went searching for someone who could work on my boots, Benson Shoe Repair came highly recommended and highly rated. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but after getting my boots back, I wasnt disappointed. Mike (forever to be known to me as Magic Mike) did a great job. Benson has a customer for life. Keep-up the great work, guys - Thanks!

Dude is legit, did me well. He knows what he is doing. Would go back 100% I had a pair of work boots that were poorly designed, the inside of the boots would tear my heels to shreds, had horrible blisters. I tried everything I could buy. Decided to call shoe repair place. He sewed a nice piece of leather in them. Best money ever spent. Cash only, keeps pricing down. A++

I took my boots in due to the heal had worn down. The heal was wood and I waited a little to long to take them in as i wasnt sure where to take them. I was referred by a friend and was not disappointed. I picked up my boots today and they look brand new. The most friendly and honest person. If you need your shoes done even just a polish take them here. Best service and very reasonable price. Highly recommended!!

I burned a huge hole in my $250 Columbia coat and was totally heartbroken. I took it in and he said he would do his best. Came back to pick it up and he did PHENOMENAL. Put a ton of time and effort into every stitch and patch. The colors almost match identically. Not to mention he is extremely reasonably priced. If you need any kind of clothing, shoe, or bag repair; he’s your guy. 110% recommend; I definitely will be a returning customer.

August, 2017 review: after my shoes were repaired I came in and saw them on the shelf, and could scarcely believe they were mine. They were that good looking. Mike literally saved my pair of winter shoes for another year, and I think I could get several more good years out of this repair. Ill be back with other things.2016 review: The owner does excellent work at a good price. Well recommended.

I have been taking my shoes to Benson Shoe Repair for over 20 years, and never once have I been dissatisfied.

Review №74

They did an outstanding job on what was a for sure a challenging task - two other places said they couldnt do the job. I have no doubt my wifes Taz slippers will last years longer because of the new soles they created, so the cost was certainly worthwhile. They are true craftsmen at what they do - the quality of work and the ease of doing business with them is all first class. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to make sure the job is done right, this is the place to visit.

The strap on my favorite purse broke for the third time. The company wouldn’t fix it because it was “out of warranty,” but I desperately wanted it repaired. My fiancé’s dad suggested trying a shoe repair place to see if they could fix it. I could not be more pleased that Benson Shoe Repair was the first place that popped up! My fiancé called Mike and he was confident he could fix my problem. We brought the bag in that night and he was able to fix it in less than 20 minutes and at a super affordable price! I know that if I have any future problems with my bags or shoes he will be my first stop!

Review №86

My work shoes were fine, but he completely ruined a pair of my wife’s Frye boots. They came back to us dyed a different color, caked gunk all over the brass detail and sewing, and the heel he replace was oddly heavy; to the point it made the boot fit odd, because it’s now weighted down at the heel. I guess he’s fine for men’s footwear. Just not her $400 boots. So much for getting them shined & repaired, they came into his shop a caramel color, left dark brown and streaky, with a heavy uncomfortable heel, and brass that’s now brown. She’s hoping to find another repair place that can fix what he did to them.

Review №94

I took a pair of silver flats that had leather damage and wanted them polished.The owner said it was going to be difficult to match to color and he would haveto make a special mix. He told me when to come back for the shoes which I did a few days later. When I got there he had a sign up that he was across the street at Louis Market. When he finally got back I discovered he hadnt even touched the shoes. Even more amazingly, he said he could polish them right away and took a can of GOLD spray paint and painted my silver shoes gold. I was stunned to watch him do this. When I asked him if he was color blind and what about the special mix of polish he was going to have to make, he just said he could fix it and took silver paint, painted them silver handed them back to me and just said there is no charge. Really!! No charge. Youve got to be kidding me. I had worn them many times and they were not hugely expensive so I just took them and left incredulous as to how that guy stays in business. Dont go there!
