Meet Yadi


 

Yadi Shoe Repair was founded in the 1990's when a man named Yadi immigrated to Canada from Iran.

Working as an apprentice for many years, Yadi learned the skills and techniques one needs to successfully master the craft of shoe repair. 

Eventually, Yadi became the owner of the shop that trained him, which was situated in the Woodbine Center Mall in Rexdale, Ontario. It was there that Yadi would meet Josephine, his future wife, who would play a major part of Yadi's success as a shoe repair shopkeeper. 

Fast forward to today, and Yadi is still repairing shoes and is a master cobbler. Yadi is a textbook example of an honest, hard-working cobbler. He tells it like it is, and will be honest with you in explaining the cost of the repair and if it's worth it or not.

Hi Yadi,

It’s Glory a previous customer, I dropped off my pink sandals and heels to you for repair and they have been ready for me to come pick up and I wasn’t aware that you would be closed Sundays and Monday's. I desperately need them before Tuesday as I leave for vacation. Please if you can contact me as soon as possible that would be greatly appreciated. I also left you a voicemail. Please I’m waiting for your call thank you.

I recommend "Yadi Shoe Repair" 100% ✅…

Today, once again Yadi fixed me a size 95 belt that I bought instead of size 90(4,000 kilometers from here by mistake😂...)

I thought of simply cutting it at the front, but when I took it to Yadi his suggestion was incredibly professional, Yadi suggested to cut it from the back so as not to lose the originality and the result was simply PERFECT!

... for many years I have taken several products to Yadi’s and I have always left quite satisfied. My wallet still in excellent condition after was repaired when one corner began to break, also some sneakers that I bought, it turns out that after a few months the vinyl (or original material) behind the heel began to crack... I took them to Yadi and his suggestion was a piece of leather in the same yellow color, and I can say that for years I continue to enjoy them, the job left them better than original 👍😎👍.

Yadi... thank you for your professionalism!

A true craftsman. Repaired my vivo-barefoot leather mocassins tastefully to match the existing colour and design. Added a pull loop at my request and went above and beyond by re-stitching some weaker points in the shoe design. 10/10 on time and above my expectations.

I brought 2 pairs of high end shoes for repair. This included detached outer soles and a broken heel tip. Fair pricing and absolute quality work! Fantastic job on both pairs. I'm surehe polished the metallic bow on my Ferragamo's because it looked stunning. Will definitely come back.

I have a carry on luggage that I collect travel stickers on that is very sentimental to me, the zipper broke and I was turned away by at least 3 alteration places who said they couldn’t fix it. Yadi shoe repair was able to fix it for me and was super professional in communicating everything. He took a look at it and after a day, called me back and confirmed that he was able to repair it and gave me the pricing! So glad to have found the shop, they really know what they’re doing. Thanks again, I really appreciate it!
