Introduction
Finding a reliable shoe repair shop is hard. Finding one that stands behind its work for two years? That is rare.
BestShoeRepairShop offers a 2 Year Guarantee on all repairs. Here is exactly what that means for you and your footwear.
What is the 2 Year Guarantee?
It is a warranty that covers the workmanship and materials used in your repair for 24 months from the date of service.
If the repair fails due to their error—not your wear and tear—they fix it for free.
What Does It Cover?
The guarantee applies to the most common repair failures:
| Service | What is Covered |
|---|---|
| Heel Repair | New heel tips falling off or wearing unevenly due to poor attachment |
| Sole Replacement | New soles separating from the upper shoe |
| Stitching | Seams unraveling because the thread or tension failed |
| Zippers/Hardware | Replacement zippers, buckles, or eyelets breaking (defective parts) |
| Glue Work | Any separation caused by adhesive failure |
What is NOT Covered?
The guarantee does not cover normal use. Examples include:
- Soles wearing thin from walking
- Leather cracking from age or lack of conditioning
- Water damage or weather exposure
- Accidents (tearing the shoe on something sharp)
- Misuse (wearing dress shoes for hiking)
Bottom line: If you wore the shoe normally and the repair failed, you are covered. If you wore the shoe out naturally, you are not.
Why This Matters to You
1. Saves You Money
Most shops offer 30 days. BestShoeRepairShop offers 730 days.
If a $60 sole replacement fails in month 11, you pay $0 elsewhere. That is a $60 saving.
2. Forces Quality Work
Because they guarantee it for two years, they use better materials and skilled cobblers. They cannot afford to do sloppy work.
3. Protects Expensive Shoes
If you own $500 boots or $300 heels, the repair cost is worth it only if it lasts. This guarantee ensures it does.
How the Claim Process Works
- Return the shoes to the shop (or mail them if you used mail-in service)
- They inspect the damage to confirm it is workmanship-related
- If approved, they repair it again at no cost
- If the shoe cannot be repaired, they offer store credit for the original service value
Time required: Usually 3-5 business days for inspection and repair.
Common Questions
Q: Do I need the receipt?
A: Yes. Proof of purchase and the date of service is required.
Q: Does it cover the original shoe materials?
A: No. Only the parts they replaced or repaired. If the original leather upper cracks, that is not covered.
Q: Can I get cash back if the repair fails?
A: No. The guarantee covers the repair work itself, not a refund of the original cost.
Q: Is it transferable if I sell the shoes?
A: Typically no. The guarantee applies to the original customer who paid for the repair.
