Wish I would have taken a before photo but after Cheyenne Frontier Days these boots were a mess! LB cleaned them up so well and charged a great price. Highly recommend and will definitely go back!

My new boots next to my old boots! Both from l.b. Shoe repair & cowboy boots. If you want a real quality pair of boots and can appreciate a dying art… Brian is your guy.Disclaimer: my old boots lived through hell.

BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR EXPENSIVE BOOTS HERE HEED THIS WARNING!If you have an expectation of pride in work and ethical customer treatment steer clear from this cobbler. I took my $300+ Frye boots here for a simple heel replacement. One would think a heel replacement is an easy and harmless task. I have some distressed boots and should have asked that the side of the soles were not to be reconditioned. I could get over that but the bigger issue came when there was a black mark on the boot the same color as the ink or whatever they use to mark the edge of the sole. Brian proceeds to tell me that it was like that when it came in and denies any wrong doing. I wear these shoes every day and would have noticed a giant black mark on the side of the boot. He proceeds to go in the back and rub on the mark with some sort of cleaner. Gives it back to me and said, its just polish it will be fine when it dries. I head outside and can see that not only is the black mark there but he has now ruined the finish on the leather also. I proceed to go in and he says what do you want me to do about it. No offer for a discount, no offer for a refund. I was simply offered an offensive claim that he did not do it and that he was going to do nothing about it. I even had to hold his hand and ask him for an apology... and they are free! Clearly there is no concern about satisfying your customers or pride in your work our you would have admitted to your mistake. I would not trust this guy with my worst pair of shoes to do the right thing in the event that something goes wrong. If you are fine with them damaging your shoes then take the risk. I will definitely tell others to steer clear from here.PROTECT YOURSELF TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR SHOES IN THE STORE BEFORE! You cannot trust this store.

I took an old pair of boots in to Brian to see if they could be refurbished, but theyd been redone one too many times. As I wear size 9AA, finding cowboy boots that fit appropriately has been nearly impossible. I wound up ordering a completely custom pair of boots that I am EXTREMELY pleased with. They fit as perfectly as could be expected, and I look forward to when theyre completely broken in. I expect theyll last at least the next few decades. Brian really seems to know his stuff, and has been a pleasure to work with. Ill be saving up for my next pair!

Brian did an amazing job on my boots. My boots are 15 years old and they look brand new. The repair was reasonably priced and done quickly. And Brian is a great guy!

I took a pair of boots to Brian to stretch. I owned these boots for several years and had not been able to wear since I bought them. He worked very carefully with them and literally worked magic. I am so happy I will finally get to enjoy these boots this winter!!! I’m bringing him a second pair to stretch. He is a master craftsman with leather. I HIGHLY recommend Brian at LB Shoe Repair.

They were able to secure the handles on my briefcase, which is all I asked for. However, they didnt even care to slip the one strap back in its tuck spot, before permanently riveting it in place. Charged $5 per rivet. He never claimed to be a cobbler, sure charged way more than any cobbler I have run into and took 1/10 the pride in the finished product. Bummed about spending 20 bucks, the handles dont even match in height.

I have always wanted a pair of custom cowboy boots. I decided to use L. B. Shoe Repair & Cowboy Boots. I chose this business because Brian is a true craftsman, incredibly knowledgeable, and an all around great guy. Brian walked me through the whole process and made sure my boots were exactly what I wanted. I received my boots and they are more amazing than I thought they could be! They look and feel incredible! I highly recommend Brian and L. B. Boots; you will be amazed at the service and finished product!

I had always wanted some custom cowboy boots but did not really know exactly what I wanted or where to go. Brian made me feel right at home as he fitted me and explained the options. You can really see his enthusiasm for his craft. Here’s a guy that was born a century too late and it shows! Friendly and professional. My boots look awesome, they’re actually comfortable, and I’ll have them for life.

I had the BEST experience with Brian at L.B. Shoe repair and will be sure to use him again! I had a pair of suede booties that got splashed with water before waterproofing and were stained! I called first and Brian was so friendly and explained what he could do for me. He quickly cleaned my boots in only a few days and they are beautiful! I highly recommend this shop based on quality of work and friendliness!

While looking for a customer of mine, I came across L.B. Shoe Repair on S. Wadsworth Blvd. in Lakewood. Brian, the owner, seemed personable enough, and inasmuch I needed repair work on several pairs of shoes and a couple pairs of boots. The repair work ranged from needing soles and/or heels to simply stretching and polishing. He gave me what I felt was a fair price and a time the following week when they would be done. Actually, he was done a day earlier; nevertheless, I was very pleased with his work as well as his timeliness. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone that would be in need of shoe and/or boot repair. You wont be disappointed.Id also like to add that he has a friendly and very well behaved dog, I believe a German Shepherd mix named Derby, who I think has adopted me! It seems like whenever I show up, Derby is there smiling and a tail-a-wagging to greet me!

L.b. shoe repair is trustworthy, and takes pride in the work done. I had this shop do some work on the last boots my dad gave to me, before his passing. The artist went above and beyond with his god given talents. I highly recommend this shop, especially if your attatched to your boots.

This was a birthday present for my husband. He was thrilled, as was I. These boots were beyond anything we could envision while in Brians shop. People fix their eyes on them and cant look elsewhere! People take pictures of them in public places! People play guessing games as to what theyre made of!These are an exquisitely made, finely-crafted pair of boots. They are virtually one-of-a-kind. Brian fitted my husband perfectly -- the skin, boot height, heel style and height. Nothing was left to chance. And when they arrived? PERFECT! Brian is an artist, and when was the last time you could say that?Thanks, Brian, for making this my husbands happiest birthday ever.Trisa and Kyle Usrey

LB has done an amazing job restoring my shoes over the years. I recently had some boot heels replaced and the boots look brand new. I’ll get another decade out of them for sure. I’d highly recommend!

This place is so welcoming. Brian is so very genuine, friendly and helpful; gave options that works best with your budget. :) I felt very comfortable there and knew right away that this is my forever home for any and all future shoe/bag repair — I will never go to anyone else. Id recommend him to anyone looking for quality work and a great experience, every time. *****

Wow! Im so glad I found Brian, conveniently located on S. Wadsworth and Jewel. I had purchased a new pair of leather shoes that were causing me foot pain. Brian stretched them for me and now theyre so comfortable, I took 3 more pair of shoes and boots to be stretched. Brians got amazing skills at boot and shoe repair, too. In fact, he can make a custom pair of cowboy boots for you! Hes friendly, professional and has years of experience and expertise. I highly recommend L.B. Shoe Repair & Cowboy Boots!

A+ Great place to get shoes repaired! Owner is friendly and knowledgeable. Does great work, communicates well and has fair prices. Before you toss your shoes out, let him try to fix them first! We were very impressed with his craftsmanship and there arent many of these shops around anymore!

This shop is a gem and so is the owner. I wouldnt think of taking my shoes or boots anywhere else. He is very honest and straightforward about the health of your shoe and how to get them back in shape. I think shoe repair is a lost art and I was craving a place like this.

Ive been going here for a few years now with different boots and sandals, Brian has always been nothing but nice and very reasonable price. And all his fixes have lasted, and done very well. I recently purchased of pair of Black Jack Boots through him, most comfortable boots Ive ever had, well worth the money. I highly recommend his shop .

I cant say enough about the quality of service youll receive at L.B. Shoe Repair! The owner (not putting his name out because I didnt ask him if that was ok) does fantastic work and is an absolute joy to chat with. I took some boots in to have shined and they looked great, so much so that my D.I.s complemented them. There are also custom made boots and shoes for sale, that are hand made and one of a kind. Trust me, if quality work is something that matters to you, this is the only place you need to go for all your footwear needs!

Love this shop and Brian is quite skilled at his craft. Bought a pair of custom boots from this shop and marvel at the fit. He also reconditioned some of my favorite beat up leather hiking boots, had me back on the trail in no time.

Honest, knowledgeable, and reliable. The owner repaired my snow boots for a fair price and was able to get the job done timely, before my trip to the mountains to go snowshoeing. I continue to trust my shoes and boots repair to L.B. Shoe Repair.

Had an alligator skin tanned from a hunt down in Lousianna. Worked with Brian to design a custom pair of boot from the hide. Not only did they turn out beautiful, but they were turned around in 8 weeks, and were surprisingly affordable compared to other options. Highly recommend working with Brian for custom cowboy boots in Denver

I’ve been coming here for years and L.B. is the only place I will take my boots. I beat my boots into the dirt and Brian has always fixed them up for me. Always great work, if you’re looking for a boot shop that specializes in cowboy boots you’ve got no reason to go anywhere else.

Brought two pairs of well used items in and he was able to extend their life a bit further for a reasonable rate. One fix was experimental and has not quite worked out, but the other is holding up well. Asks for a deposit of half the expected charge, FYI. Nice shop, weird location.

Came here looking for boot repair and the guy that runs this place tried telling me my $500 Ariat boots were cheaply made without real leather, and told me my boots were too far gone to be repaired. After that, he offered to sell me a $1,600 custom boot because mine were crappy. Thanks for undermining me and making me feel dirt right before trying to rob me of almost $1,600 for a new pair of boots. DO NOT GO HERE. He will try to hard sell and pressure you into buying his boots after insulting you. The guy that runs this place is only after your dollar and will try to sucker you in like a fool
