I had my eye on these beautiful black leather boots for 2 years before I finally bought them. They were comfortable, but much to my disappointment, the soles had zero traction and I was certain I'd slip and fall if I wore them out of the house. Al re-soled them for around $35 (if memory serves) during the week of Thanksgiving in 2025 in around 3 days. The soles look seamless and no one would be able to tell that they weren't the originals. They have solid traction on the ground and I am happy to report that I have not slipped once.

About 2 weeks ago, I went into the Houston shoe Hospital on Shepherd to get one of my weightlifting…read moreshoes repaired. It took a week. Things seemed okay. I used them yesterday and they fell apart. I decided to go into the business to understand what happened, and things went downhill fast. The person at the front counter, name is D told me to grab the other shoe. I did. He looked at the other shoe and said "Oh, I did this one because it has glue" (in a completely different area than what I had originally brought in) I asked if he knew which side he did- right or left. He said he didn't because it was on the slip he originally did. I asked if he could locate that. He said it was his professional experience that told him he didn't need to check. I advised that I would feel better if he could verify what shoe was worked on. Apparently, this was my first mistake. He told me that he basically did not want to call the administrator to do it, that it would take a really long time and that it would be making someone do a lot of work for "no reason". But it matters. It matters A LOT whether it was my left shoe, or my right. If this was the shoe he worked on, then I should get a refund. If this was not the shoe he worked on, then I should pay to get this done. Throughout this interaction, D became more and more rude. I addressed this and told him I did not like the way he was speaking to me. He simply responded "I can't help it if you don't like me" Sir, I mentioned nothing about liking or disliking you. I am saying I do not like the way I am being spoken to. Liking you has nothing to do with it. He then said "I do good work". I believe you. Again, this is not personal, but he made this incredibly personal for no reason. After A LOT of back and forth, it turns out he felt like I was questioning his judgement and he was being rude because he didn't appreciate that. He said had I just taken his word, he "may" have offered a discount to fix my other shoe. Here is the long and short of it all- it's not okay to treat someone poorly because they want clarification on work that was done and paid for. I actually hope he is right and this wasn't shotty work. But the way I was treated today? I'll go to literally any other shoe hospital than work with that guy again.

I took the custom denim class and loved every minute of the class. Em and her team were informative, patient and very accommodating. They provided the denim, art supplies, light bites and the vibe at an awesome price point imo. Everyone was able to curate their own custom denim jacket and received a lot of hands on assistance to make each design come to life. The shop is conveniently located in Montrose in a cute boutique. I love that she's a minority owned business and told her she's about to be booked and busy because this is a service I know others will enjoy. Em is super creative and a true artist. I'm so happy I found her and will be attending her upcoming art show and other classes like the custom camo and custom sneaker classes she offers. 10/10 highly recommend.

When I came in, not only was the shoe not ready, he said he was waiting for the glue and permission to repair and the cost is more. Okkkkk I said. How much more? I don't know he replied. He could have called me. Not only was the shoe opened up, it was a hot mess than when I took it in. Then proceeds to say, if you don't want to pay extra then I'll close up the shoe as is and you can take it elsewhere. Seriously? Had to let him finish it. I call 2 weeks later and he hasn't gotten to it and gave me a date of June 29th. Went on vacation then picked it up on 10th and $18 more. I finally go pick it up and bad mouth Shoe Hospital how they would never repair my shoe. The shoe was so dirty and looks like he did nothing to care for it while removing parts, gluing and put black stains all over it. And he thinks he did a great job. Look at the photo.

I recommend them to everyone for boot repair, the Lucchese store sent me to them years ago. My BucketList includes a pair of Maida"s Bespoke boots. If you are unfamiliar with the term "Bespoke" here is the definition; Bespoke boots are custom-made footwear designed specifically for an individual, tailored to their unique measurements, preferences, and style. Unlike mass-produced boots, bespoke options offer a personalized fit and can incorporate specific materials, colors, and design elements chosen by the customer. This process typically involves consultations with a skilled cobbler or artisan, ensuring that the final product meets the wearer's exact specifications for comfort and aesthetics. This my friends is the Definition of the Maida's experience.

Unfortunately, life happened and I got to the shop after they closed when it was time to pick them up. I called the shop to see if there was anyway to grab my boots for my wedding the next day and sure enough Sal left his house to drive BACK to the shop to get me what I needed. Not only did he stop his day to help me, my boots looked beautiful again. For Sal to drive over on rainy evening to get my boots for wedding meant so much for me. There is no other place that would treat their customers with this much respect and grace. I truly encourage you to come over to Maida's for all of your needs, because I know I will never go elsewhere.

We happened to find this website and decided to stop by his old location in Oak Forest. Zephen's passion for the history and craftsmanship of bookmaking was obvious and this made us extremely comfortable with the process. He starting measuring our feet before we had any designs in mind. This process was great because it gave Zephan and Cathleen time to find out exactly what we wanted for the wedding. By the time we left that day, we could not wait to see the final product. Zephan was able to finish the boots and get them out early for the bridal pictures. We could not have asked for a better experience! Zephan does not stop at bookmaking. Recent, I took a Filson briefcase to him for some minor enhancements. He listens to my issues and was able to restitch the closure tab on the outside pocket. Thanks for the hard work and the passion you put into your work. Great family and great company. Shop Local!
