I love all 3 pairs and have not been able to find anything remotely equal. Ricardo was very responsive. His communication was professional and informative, and his pricing was fair.

I was disappointed in the workmanship,thus, no additional stars. The boots imo should have had a tan heel tap instead of a black. The heel tap is a little off on sizing and one is a crooked. Also got glue on the upper part of my boot. Was luckily able to peel off. I had another wedge where a tan tap was used but the job looks sloppy, he sanded part of the wedge and doesn't evenly transition to the rest of the sole. Would not be back and do not recommend for basic women's heels.

I'd occasionally have my shoes polished in a style similar to in a mall or hotel lobby. While…read morethey'd look fine in the short term, one ride on the El later and they no longer look as glamorous. After moving away from home, I no longer had my own cobbler for maintenance. My poor footwear was downright embarrassing! Yelp pointed me to Beehive, and though my wallet is lighter than I expected, I couldn't be happier. I was taken aback at the initial price, but Sam explained the process to rejuvenate the leather. I decided to go for it. They do have stations for a quick mall-style polish as well, if that's what you're after. What I got back was three pairs of shoes that looked [almost] new! Not just that, but it lasted! I took one of these pairs to a wedding! Dancing plus a couple "oops, sorry for stepping on your foot" later, and the shoes still look like new. Finally, lots of credit to Sam for being kind, knowledgeable, and down to earth. With this, happy to continue coming back to Beehive for all my footwear maintenance needs!

Initially I wanted to give them a 5 star rating. For 80$ they cleaned up some beat up ll bean boots…read moreand replaced a collar on some vintage danner boots. I dropped it off Wednesday and they said it would be ready by Monday. They actually had it ready the next day so thy are definitely fast but I think I would have preferred they take their time and get the small details right. The ll bean boots look good, there was some leftover polish they didn't fully rub in but minor quibble. Really its the repair on the danner boots that I think would have benefited from more attention to detail. The leather they replaced is the same color but way more wrinkled and its clearly a cheaper leather than the original. Whats worse is the stitching, the old one had it tucked in and smooth but the repair has the old leather more pronounced and it rubs on the heel and ankle. Its still wearable but feel like an extra 10 minutes would have resulted in a better finish.

Brought two pairs of shoes in for cleaning/conditioning and was told it would be $25 dollars. When…read moreI came to pick up suddenly it's $25 dollars EACH. There are also new discolored splotches on the boots and the tongue of the shoe is still dirty so the cleaning job was not even thorough. I felt compelled to pay and tip because the guys were very friendly, but frankly I feel swindled and cheated. I would never have left my shoes there if I'd known that was the quality and price. I would have just bought the oil and did it myself. Be more transparent about your rates, I will not be returning.

So, I'm happy.
