Boisvert's Shoe Repair

Graciously helped me out when I stopped in with a sole flapping loose on my left boot. I inquired about buying a new pair, but unfortunately I have unusually large feet and they didn’t have a pair in stock that would fit me - and since I’m from out of state and passing through on vacation, there wasn’t time to wait to order a new pair. The owner instead gave me the advice and everything I needed to repair the boot. Very helpful and kind - they saved my vacation! Real cobblers are a vanishing breed and I am glad this family-owned business is still going strong.

I have been doing business here for 30+ years. This is a family run business going on the 3rd generation. They have always been helpful & honest. They will repair anything they can for a fair price. Thier products are limited. However, this is because these are what they are willing to stand behind as quality products that will last the customer. They can order anything you want (in their lines they carry) If they don't have it. They are a great business and if you need your footwear repaired they are true Cobblers and will get the job done. Plus they will do repairs on other leather goods.
Look, I was just there after the flood of 2023. They could use the business. If you want to help flood victims buy from them, use their services. I want these folks to go to the fourth generation. They are worth it. They aren't asking for handouts, just your business and they are willing to prove they can earn it. For over 30 years they have proved it to me and my family!

What a truly stellar expedient experience here!! I had a pair of black 3 inch high heels that I just adore super comfortable and the strap came off of the base of the heal. I’m leaving in one week and I took them in to see if they could by any slim chance turn it around and have it ready before we left… low and behold, the amazing warm and pleasant woman at the counter named Anna offered to fix it right away, and I left 20 minutes later with the strap reattached!! Barre as well as Montpelier as well as other cities in Vermont were swamped beyond flooded in July, we need to do whatever we can to support small mom and Pop businesses!!! A+++ Stellar service!!

I love this place. It's family operated & has been in Barre for at least 70 years. They do all the work themselves, quality workmanship at a reasonable price.

I love this shop. They are a treasure. The family is very kind, offers polite service, and has a great turn around time for repairs.

Had a pair of Dr. Martens stretched in the instep. They did an awesome job! I can finally wear my boots and get my feet in. Incredible job and if they need to be stretched more, it is a one time fee, forever!! Great work, very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend.

They have had my Birkenstock sandals since 10/13/22 . When I left them the lady at counter said it would be a bit but this is just ridiculous. No one picks up the phone. Have not herd anything from them letting me know my Sandler are done. Not impressed with them at all. Would not recommend them.
Thanks so much.

I actually found the shop completely by accident. I happen to look out my window as I was driving through town and stopped in because I needed a new rivet put into my belt.
The shop owner took good care of me.
While I was waiting for my belt to be repaired I looked around at the other wares the shop had to offer.
I ended up leaving with two more belts that looked to be of a high quality leather. I would highly recommend this multi-generationaly owned shop for any of your leather needs.
Apparently they also do shoe repair I'll let you know how that turns out as I do have a pair in need of new heels.

I live in Chittenden County and the cobbler who did work in this area has gone out of business. There were, as with any business, complaints re: long wait times, and work not done as expected, and that he was grumpy, not mean, just grumpy. I have no idea as to why he shut his doors, but perhaps his dealing with customers was a part of it.
So one day soon, I will be heading to Barre to get my boots repaired. Given that Spring is around the corner, I‘m hopeful that they will be completed by the time winter approaches at the end of this year. Maybe this is how we need to adjust our expectation in a skilled craft that more and more is unavailable. As far as grumpy goes, I can deal with that and be pleasant in return.
I also need to remind myself that when I read any review I’m only getting one side of the story and that some people have expectations that are just unreasonable they prefer to vent their complaints on social media rather than have a person to person conversation with the shop keeper in an attempt to reach a resolution.

I brought in a pair of boots that I figured no one would be able to repair. The girl at the counter was so friendly and helpful. She tried several different methods to try and fix this boot. After about 30 minutes she was able to make the boot comfortable enough to wear. I am beyond impressed!! Then she only charged me a very minimal amount for the work. I highly suggest taking any boots or shoes you need repaired here. I was also told they specialize in repairing Birkenstock’s as well.

Visiting home and decided to bring a bag in to have fixed. Extremely quick turnaround around and reasonable pricing. They even waterproofed my bag, which I appreciate. Another great experience with a small local VT business!

Great service, fast, and very fairly priced! I had some torn stitching on a snowboard boot - probably not a type of footwear they're used to getting, but the owner was super helpful, and I got it back better than new!

I like the products and service I have recieved from Boisvert's. They fixed my Redwing boots when the dog chewed them. The belts that they make are awsome!

Fixed two of my hiking boot lace hooks while I waited. Did a good job and the price was very reasonable.

I’m so grateful to have a leather repair shop close by. They do great work and have saved my boots and leather bags. Thank you!!

Great customer service with even better turn around time. I highly recommend using them for boot repair work.

Love this place. Nothing can beat the small town feel of a locally owned business.

Excellent leather work

Quick service! Great work!

always great work preformed
