Best place in the STL region to buy AMERICAN MADE boots and work boots. A family owned (mom and pop) type of store. They are very friendly and always there to help. Since my first visit, I've been a repeat customer ever since and will continue to support this store. read more

Great customer service and willingness to help customers. Great guidance and such friendly service. I don't feel rushed at all. Super kind. Best boot buying experience ever. read more

Had some Allen Edmund that the front of the shoe was scuff bad and the souls where coming off. They repaired them 5/5 awesome, and customer service was excellent. Enjoyed working with them on the options available for my shoes. read more

Went there to get a pair of boots, two pairs of loafers resoled. These are Italian hand made shoes and boots. They did an amazing job for me. Very skilled with friendly personnel. It is the best repair I know of and their boot selection for work boots is amazing. Love this place. read more

They do amazing shoe repair. My husband takes his shoes there for new soles and heels and he gets his shoes back with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lives. His only complaint: it takes about six weeks to complete a pair. read more

I was not told that was for a pair of boots. I only needed to have one of my boots repaired. and still for one boot to be repaired it's still to much. read more

This is the First time I taken my shoe repairs to Hampton Shoe. Good repairs, little pricey.

I started coming here after great reviews from coworkers and now I can't recommend them enough! Their selection is good for Keen work boots (my go-to brand) with several of the nicer styles available. I find places like Chucks Boots with tons of choices very overwhelming so this was a nice change. But where they blow the competition away is their customer service and their guarantee. The owner and his wife are very friendly and knowledgeable about their products and will make sure they send you home with boots that fit your needs. They also condition leather boots free of charge with any purchase and they do minor fixes and cobbling. Just once though, I bought a pair of more expensive Keen boots and after wearing them for a few weeks, they were really making my feet sore so I took them back. Not only did they let me pick out a different pair, they also gave me money back since the pair I got was cheaper. This is great customer service! I was just hoping for a discount on another pair so they really went above and beyond. If I went to Chucks Boots, they would never take back any pair of boots if they were as dirty as mine were. If you want an easy boot shopping experience, come to this place and you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Hampton Shoe is great! They have a variety of shoes and services to fit all needs. I have used Hampton many times over the years for work boots, sneakers, heel repair and replacement, belt re-sizing. The customer service is awesome; very friendly. The turnaround time for services is reasonable depending on what's needed. read more

This place is great! Friendly staff, timely repairs and very affordable. Quick and easy, need I say more?

Outstanding customer service by very knowledgeable staff. Good range of boots and accessories. Can't wait to go back and have an older boot fixed up to almost brand new. Highly recommend this small business. read more

I came here to get some new work boots for a new job where I would be working on a concrete floor on my feet for 10 hours a day. Variety of issues with my feet, and I knew that this was just the place to go to get the personalized service I would require. I live and work in the area so I would drive by all the time, and when I saw the sign "work boot sale" I was drawn in. I regret that I don't remember the names of the people working there. There was a lady working as a cashier and a nice gentleman that fitted me. he knew just as much about feet as a podiatrist, from what I could see. he said he also specializes in orthopedics. none of my complaints, from a bunion to weak ankles to plantar fasciitis fazed him at all. he listens to me carefully and picked the perfect shoe on the first try. this is evidently a family owned local business and not Walmart, so I did not expect it to be cheap, and you shouldn't either. He selected for me some shoe inserts for my plantar for situs, and also suggested wigwam, socks, which I have never tried before because I come from a hot climate where thick socks don't really make sense, but I really like them and then I saw people wearing them on a survival show! "they are made in Wisconsin," He told me. I am very happy with my purchase and I know that these shoes will last a long time and it's nice to be able to return to the place where I bought them if I need any kind of repairs or service! They seem like the kind of place where they know each and every customer and are committed to taking care of them for life! If you are capable of spending a couple hundred bucks on quality gear that will last and last and be treated with compassion and respect, this is your place! Thanks so much, Hampton Shoe & Repair! Best work boots I have ever owned! read more

I went here hoping they could fix a missing piece on a leg brace. I had been at several Places already with no luck. They looked at it and said it was out of their capability, then Tricia spent several minutes brainstorming and giving me recs for other possibilities. I left feeling hopeful and did indeed find a fix. I can't think of another business owner lately who has gone out of her way to be so helpful. I will support this business and hope others will too. read more

Always super friendly and helpful. I went to buy a new pair of boots and the woman helping me told me that she really should be trying to sell me a pair of boots, but that mine were fine for now. I ended up buying a new pair from here a month or so later anyway. I will always tell people to buy their boots from here. read more

This place came to my rescue, so I'm a fan. I had visited several shoe stores looking for shoelaces to replace a pair in one of my favorite work shoes. None of them had the type I needed. How can a shoe store sell you a shoe with laces and not have the replacement laces when you need them? Finally a sales clerk at one of the stores I visited referred me to Hampton Shoe Repair. (That was excellent customer service.) What a shock, the store is in my neighborhood and I never thought of going there. I was pleased with the selection of laces, and they had the exact one I needed for my shoes. I was also amazed at the selection of work boots. I don't need the boots for work, but they look great with jeans and flannel when you are going for that outdoorsy look. After reading Kelly B's review I'm taking a pair of loafers in for a sole-lift. read more

Took my heels, aged 12, for a makeover. I was reluctant to go here because Hampton Shoe seems to specialize in work boots. But I desperately needed new bottoms and new insoles. I forget the total cost. I think it was about $65, which seemed nicely low to me. They were ready on time. They had cheap plastic bottoms before and now they have rubber. They look and feel better than ever. I will definitely return to Hampton Shoe for all my cobbling needs! read more

Wow a full service shoe store where they even measure your foot! Brought back childhood memories. I needed work boots and on the recommendation of a friend I stopped in. I was greeted immediately and asked if I'd excuse the wait but they are with another customer. I browsed about keeping an eye on how they treat their customers and immediately knew I was going to be given full, competent, product-informed treatment and if I was going to need a half hour of service they would give me a half hour of service. And not just because I was about to spend a hundred dollars on one pair of shoes. I have a few foot issues that needed to be accommodated. The clerk listened patiently and went straight for a pair of Carolinas that fit the bill almost perfectly. After I tried out a couple sizes they had in stock, inserts, and also an alternate brand it turned out I needed a half-size that she put on order. A week later I came back to try them on and they were great. All they needed was slipperier laces. I wanted to wear them home but she told me to only wear them around the house for a few days in case I needed to come back and switch them out for another size/brand. They have softened up nicely and I am happy with them. Now I know why my friend recommended this place. read more

These kind and knowledgeable people will repair your shoes with skill and attention to detail. Heel repairs on women's shoes, new soles and sole protectors are not a challenge. Better than the pricey and less skilled options available in the expensive parts of town. Love these folks! read more

I bought a pair of Boots from them over the internet. Let me tell you the service is great. They are prompt and professional. They answered any question I had about the boots. I had to return the first pair because of the fit and they had no problem with it. They shipped it back for free and even refunded me the difference. A+ Did I mention that they sell made in USA boots. Who even knew they existed before. If you shop around you will even find that their prices are lower than other peoples. I know where I am buying my boots for now on. I have already referred several people. read more

I bought a pair of Bellville boots many years ago (7-8yrs)here. They lasted a long time! Then I just recently had them re-soled and the are like new again! I'm a flight nurse and I used to go thru boots almost yearly...the owners are super nice and very knowledgeable! Highly recommend read more

Took 4 pairs of shoes for new heels. They were busy so I did have to wait a month to get the shoes back but it was wonderful service. The shoes came back polished and the new heels look great and have been working out. I also like the fact someone cheerful answers the phone right away and happily answers questions. Great experience. read more

Hampton Shoe did an excellent job repairing/replacing leather soles on a pair of men's dress shoes I recently brought in - such an excellent job in fact that I decided to create this account on Yelp for the sole purpose of leaving this rating. I had been needing to get the shoes repaired for a few years now and am happy I decided to bring them to Hampton Shoe. Very impressed with the craftsmanship of the work and perhaps even more impressed with the great customer service I received. Reasonably priced services, excellent craftsmanship and great customer service! Will definitely be heading back to Hampton Shoe for all of my shoe needs going forward, thank you! read more

Every year, I wear my favorite summer heals to death and every Spring I take them to Hampton Shoe Repair to have new heals and bottoms put on. They come back looking almost new and so much more comfy than a new pair @ only $12 a pair. Love it. They are busy, so expect to wait two weeks for your shoes. P.S. They recently moved to a storefront nearby (still on Hampton, other side of the street). Bigger store, much nicer. They stock a large supply of new work-boots and dressy men's shoes, as well. read more

I love this place...mostly because they resurrected a pair of my Jeffrey Campbell shoes which had broken straps so I couldn't really wear them (slingback platform wedges) for only $12. They fixed the broken strap on one pair and reinforced the others. Sooo nice. Now I can wear my favorite shoes again! Also they sell a wide variety of leather goods like belts and some good quality made in the USA hiking boots. I would definitely come back here with shoe repairs. I actually wanted them to repair a pair of black boots I have (from The Buckle) but they didn't have a metal buckle that matched the one that came off of mine but he said if I can find a new buckle that matches, to bring it back. read more

I took in a pair of Birks to have them fix my heel area and they did a great job. Not only fixed that area but the entire bottom of the sandal was replaced. They are a little pricey but well worth it. I trust them. read more

4 1/2 stars, really! Been looking for a SOLID neighborhood shoe repair business since leaving Detroit 2 years ago where I had MANY to choose from and StL experience has been the opposite--until Hampton Shoe Repair! Went in with a banged-up 10+ year old pair of casual work shoes that had good 'bones' & worth saving but no one else wanted to work on them (four other shops around StL). So, $28 later for new heels, laces, & free polish I had a completely rejunvenated pair of shoes ready for many more years of wear. On top of that, when I dropped off the shoes for repair I just happened to have some discretionary cash and they had a close-out on a pair of 6" Chippewa moc-toe work boots that are excellent (!) quality boots AND American-made. These aren't cheap department store or mall boots or prices BUT the quality is exceptional, price was competitive with online and I got to try them on before buying (no exchange merry-go-round). Oh, yeah, HSR will help me maintain the boot for low / no cost--polish, treatment, laces, etc. OK, 1/2 star lost for the amount of time it took for the heel repair--4 weeks (as stated when I dropped them off). So, plan ahead and be patient--it was WORTH the wait ! read more

This is my go-to place for my shoe repairs and I've always been pleased with the results. They are very professional, the place is well maintained and spacious. I usually go for heel cap and it runs about $15 per pair. Sole replacement is a little more but I can't remember how much now. I think the prices are very fair. My only wish is that the turn around was a little quicker, I usually have to wait over 30 days to get my shoes back but the job is so perfectly executed that the wait is well worth it. They give you a call when your shoe is ready and they have never exceeded the promised deadline. Kudos for the professionalism!! read more

I recently bought a pair of boots online. While I live relatively close, I wanted to social distance. After finding what I wanted on the website, I called the store with questions. I ordered online and received the spring discount & free shipping. I have had the boots for two days now wearing them around the house. I would buy again online again. The process was easy. read more

Be patient because it's worth the wait. I've had soles replaced and leather boots refinished.

I had a pretty weak experience at Hampton Shoe. I took a pair of nearly new Carhartt boots up there to get some new eyelets. The boots are great with the exception that they have junk cloth eyelets (if you are considering buying a pair of boots with cloth eyelets, don't). I took them up to Hampton Shoe because they had some pretty decent reviews online. It took about 4 weeks to finally get my boots back after they told me it would be two weeks. That's an awful turnaround time for what is a pretty simple job. I know you want to generally have a FIFO policy on repairs, but that is a long time on a pretty simple job. So i get the boots back and notice the hardware they used for the eyelets looked exceedingly cheap. The first eyelet broke in about an hour. I took them back down and they fixed them back up. The same eyelet broke in about 10 minutes of wear. I can't recommend this place for any serious repairs anymore. If you can't use good hardware on your repairs, I can't trust you to do any serious work. read more

I have bought boots from here twice with great customer service and boot selection. I found out i had been buying the wrong size boots for awhile. So thanks to the ladie that helped me try on 4 different pairs. read more

This place is great! Friendly staff and people, nice presentation, family owned and operated. My Dad used to own a shoe repair shop back in the day decades ago, so i miss that shoe repair shop smell. Besides, it's nice to support the local cobbler. The bonus is that Rob and The Team do great work and I look forward to doing business here for as long as they operate. Already had one pair of dress shoes repaied (heals, heal guards, sole guards) and took another pair into them today. I have a hard time finding shoes so it's nice to maintain the ones i have. Keep up the excellent work guys! Cheers read more

Had a pair of shoes repaired here and they did a great job! I thought the turnaround time was a little lengthy, but this is coming from someone who doesn't often get shoes repaired. They did get them back to me before the time they told me it would be, though. The dropoff and pickup was super simple and easy. Getting parking here was kind of problematic/hard right off of Hampton and near a one way. Overall, I'd be happy to return again. read more

Had my dance shoes repaired here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They had my shoes done quickly for me and the price was very affordable! read more

I recently purchased a pair of work boots from Hampton Shoe Repair that were not only American-made but made locally in Belleville. Who knew?!? The staff was more than helpful, friendly, and have an ample selection to choose from regardless of what line of work you're in. I have specific criteria for my line of work and sure enough they had several selections to choose from as well as being cost effective. That always a plus! The Belleville-made boot I purchased is super lightweight, has a rugged sole, and feels like a tennis shoe. Very rare for a work boot IMO. I've only had them a few days but I'm more than happy with them. I also didn't know they sold New Balance and dress shoes but they do. All American-made as well. It's nice to know this so one doesn't have to go into the big stores, wander around looking for both shoes and an employee who *might* know where they're at. Hampton Shoe even takes a measurement of your feet AND have widths in shoes/boots which is also rare. Their website is easy to follow along, someone always answers the phone during business hours, and they seem to be very busy with the shoe repair aspect of the business which means this place is doing something right. I'll be back in a few months for my WInter pair! read more

Discovered Hampton Shoe and they are now my official shoe place. Had two pairs resoled there, including a pair of European Birkenstock, and they came back to me better than ever at a very reasonable price. read more

I had some heels with cheap plastic heels that clicked really loudly and wanted to get them replaced with rubber heels. It took 3 weeks and cost $20. (I used to get this done all the time at a place in California for $10 and they'd be done in 2 days.) When I got them back they didn't have quiet rubber heels, they had new plastic heels, just as loud as before. They looked sturdier than the cheap heels, but still not what I asked for. Sadly, it was a total waste of money. read more

My favorite dress boots were looking a little sad. I took them in for a good polish. They looked over my shoes and we decided to do a new heel as well. Wow! They look brand new. Now I am just mad I didn't take them in sooner. Nice, courteous, reasonable service. read more

They didn't actually repair shoes for me, so I can't comment on that.... However, they did repair a snap button on my new pair of jeans. I started out at a drycleaner where I was told they don't do snap buttons. Then I went to an alterations shop, where they also told me they don't do snap buttons. They suggested that I go up the street to the shoe repair shop. Although it sounded odd, I was getting desperate, so I decided to give it a try. They were able to put a new snap button on my jeans in less than 10 min for only $5! Hopefully I won't ever have this problem again, but, if I do, I know where I'll be going! read more

I purchased a pair of boots over the internet for the hubby and was very pleased with how smoothly everything went. Before I purchased them I called them to ask a few questions about sizing and the lady answered all my questions and was very informed at the products they are selling (it's so annoying to call a company and no one can answer simply questions about the products). They also had the best price for the style of boots I ordered. The boots arrived within a week and they fit hubby perfectly. Next time someone mentions they need a good pair of American made boots I will refer them to this company. Very happy with the service! read more
