Reviewers praise the shop for frank advice and friendly staff, including staff who advised against unneeded repairs. Heel tip and midsole work often gets good marks. Several reviewers say repairs on expensive shoes failed or damaged them, and a few describe slow or unclear follow-up. Mixed results depend heavily on the type of job.

Most reviewers describe fast, careful shoe and bag repair with friendly staff. Many praise the workmanship on restorations and say the shop got them out of a jam when other places said no. The record is not uniform. One reviewer paid a large sum for resoling and recolouring, then had to return for the glue to be redone, and said the owner turned aggressive. Another single-visit complaint describes repeat repairs that failed. Shukey suits simpler jobs and restorations well, but a few customers felt let down on bigger, pricier work.

Most reviewers say repairs are quick, often done within the hour while they wait. Shoe and bag fixes get the most praise, with many calling the work good and reliable. The 4.4 rating across 106 Google reviews reflects this steady pattern. Staff get named praise, including David for friendly advice on making flats last longer and a technician named Master Leong. A few reviewers call prices a bit high, and one 3-star review says a shoe repair looked rushed. One 1-star review describes a rude cobbler who did not explain the work.
