At Red Star Cobbler, we stand by our commitment to excellence with our Red Star Clean Promise. While we dedicate ourselves to delivering superior quality in every repair and restoration, we want to acknowledge the unique nature of specialty materials like suede and fabric materials. Due to their porous composition, we cannot guarantee the outcome of jobs involving these materials.

However, our skilled artisans work tirelessly to provide the highest standard of craftsmanship possible, ensuring your satisfaction remains our top priority. Rest assured, we treat every item with care and expertise, striving to exceed your expectations with every service.

About Us

Clean sneakers being worn - RSC

A second-generation cobbler who left his home in Mexico City in search of a new life in Chicago, away from people’s shoes. You can’t outrun destiny, however. Eventually, the industry came calling.

The cobbler found his proverbial footing and established his shop, Red Star Cobbler in 2013. With craftsmanship like no other, Red Star Cobbler became a fixture in the Chicago shoe scene.

Drawing sneakerheads, vintage lovers and designer fanatics alike, RSC is known for their contemporary aesthetic. Meticulous by nature, at RSC, every item that comes through the shop is treated as if it were our own.
