Operating under current ownership since 1990, Chito's Shoe Repair in Chula Vista continues a cobbling tradition dating to 1939 from its Beech Avenue workshop. Full-service resoling with OEM Vibram rubber, heel rebuilds, leather conditioning, and hand-stitching restoration define the repair scope — a leather-working discipline that shares material overlap with the garment stitching at Angelo's Tailor on Third Avenue. The shop runs a mobile pickup-and-delivery model across San Diego County while maintaining a by-appointment base in the 91910 ZIP. Beyond footwear, the workshop handles handbag strap reattachment, backpack seam reinforcement, and belt resizing, applying the same saddle-stitch technique used by Cali Upholstery for heavy-gauge leather furniture repair. The highest-complexity jobs involve complete sole-to-upper separation and reattachment on Goodyear-welted construction, replacing cork midsoles and re-lasting the leather upper on a cobbler's iron.
