I reached out to Michelangelo to have my husband's favorite Birks repaired for his anniversary gift and I was incredibly happy with my experience. Michelangelo was extremely communicative and takes his work seriously; he was very kind and even went to extra lengths to keep the gift a surprise without me asking! The quality of the repair was remarkable-- they look brand new. Overall, I was extremely happy with the service I received and absolutely will be recommending friends/family to him in the future. Thank you Michelangelo!!

I am beyond impressed with the way my Birkenstocks turned out. He’s a true craftsman and I got my Birkenstocks back FAST and I shipped them from California. I’ve told everyone about Michelangelo and I’ll definitely be a return customer.

Michaelangelo is brilliant!!!I’ve been on the hunt for something equivalent to the Birkenstock high arch footbed since it was discontinued over a decade ago. Michaelangelo had a stash of the footbeds that he bought from Birkenstock when they discontinued the line. He made me a pair of Arizonas in taupe suede on one of the footbeds AND used the leather uppers from my worn down, long discontinued pair of Zurich sandals to make me a high arch pair!!He is honest, prompt, knowledgeable, and skilled.I highly recommend him!!

I sent 4 pairs of Burke stock sandals to be refurbished with a new clothes and soles. I was told that they would clean up the leather, refurbish the footbed and replace the soles with Birkenstock parts. When Michel called to payment information he said everything was completed he indicated that he even sealed the corkbed for free as a courtesy. Bottom line was the repairs were performed satisfactorily, but he charged $9 +/- to seal the cork on each pair of shoes. ( he sells a bottle of cork sealer for $9.95) . One of my wife's sandals had the strap pinched between the foot bed and cork and now she can't wear that pair anymore.Great salesman, but delivery didn't live up to his sales pitch. I wouldn't use him again, there are other repair services out there that are a little more expensive that I have used previously that were 100% satisfactoy!Spell check won't allow you to go back without erasing the text and starting again.

First of all, do not buy sheepskin-lined Birkenstocks: the fleece under your foot starts balding after just three months (not to mention that no matter how hard you try, suede gets dirty easily and the more you try to clean it, the uglier it gets). If you do find yourself with a worn out pair of fleecies, and want the insole replaced, be sure to get fleece and not some other kind of insole. I suspect there's something different about the shoe--some sort of painful seam along the outer foot edge, that is covered by the fleece. Anyway, Michelangelo said he could replace my fleece insole with a padded one. However, the padded option took up up too much room in the shoe, so that the shoe no longer fit. He expressed surprise at this, but asked me to send the shoes back--this was through mail, which I don't recommend, either. But he only stretched them, which was not enough (I thought he might put a non-padded insole in). We went back and forth--I got *some* of my money back, and he returned my shoes in pieces (even though I was sick of them by then, the sight made me sad). So, probably a lesson learned on both our parts. Michelangelo is probably fine for many kinds of repairs. But he assumed this insole-switch was doable, even though it wasn't, and he was reluctant to take full responsibility.

The buckle of one of my Tokio slides broke. I reached out to Birkenstock USA for repair options and Michaelangelo's was one of a handful of recommendations. Pricing was reasonable and service was very quick. (I mailed my shoe off and got it back in a week.) Michaelangelo's uses authentic Birkenstock parts, so I plan on patronizing them again when I get my Arizona's resoled.

Michaelangelo set me up with a new pair of Birkenstocks. I really needed something to wear around the house when I want wearing my typical shoe/orthodic combo. I honestly feel like the pair of shoes he gave me make my feet feel even better then my other shoes. He's an expert in his craft and provided a personalized experience. I will be coming back for all of my shoes in the future.

My Arizonas have been resoled and they will last many more years. I have shipped them from Canada and it was worth it. Quick service, very good communication with Michelangelo and very good quality of work. I am 100% satisfied and I will definitely send another pair.... I own 6 pairs of Birkenstock in 5 different models.

Wonderful business!! If your Birkenstocks are in need of repair, this is the place to go! Knowledgeable, friendly staff that are very attentive to your concerns. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of craftsmanship applied to the refurbishing of two pair of Birkenstocks that are no longer manufactured. Please support this incredible local business.

I mailed my old Arizona style Birkenstocks in for a complete recraft and they came back absolutely beautiful. They are like new and so comfortable. I'm SO glad I trusted Michelangelo with my sandals. Highly recommend!

Michelangelo is highly knowledgable and enthusiastic about Birkenstock! He is friendly and has quickly helped me with some minor fixes/adjustments to my birks. I have recommended him to my friends and now to whoever is reading this!

What a fantastic experience! From the start, Michelangelo was so helpful, going that extra mile to make sure that everything I needed was taken care of even though we are in different countries, many miles apart, and don’t know each other. The communication before, during, and after, order, was amazing. When the sandals arrived, they not only look great and are expertly customised just for me, they are life and pain saving. They fit beautifully and resolve the problem that needed resolving perfectly. Highly recommended. Thank you Michelangelo!

Had a great experience buying shoes here! We went in to pick up a repair we had dropped off. Ended up buying a new pair of Birkenstocks as well. Owner told us about how to properly maintain the shoes to keep them as long as possible. Will certainly be going back next time we need shoes repaired.

OMG!!! I just received my Birkenstock sandals back from Michelangelo's and I am in shock at how great they look!!! They look brand new!!! Michelangelo is the BEST!!! I recommend him to everyone and anyone who is in need of shoe repairs, etc. I thought my sandals were forever lost since they no longer make this style, but Michelangelo returned them to their former glory. I honestly can't thank him enough. GREAT service and SUPER friendly!!! ☺
