I've been going to Michael for ALL of my shoe repairs, for years. Frankly, I can't think of…read moreAnything he's not been able to repair perfectly! In fact, I JUST had a pair of evening shoes dyed to match a gown for our daughters wedding, and the dye did not completely take in all areas. Unfortunately, I didn't see the "errors" until after I left; I called the shop and was given not only an explanation as to Why the dye did not 'take" in certain areas - even better, a solution to correct the problem. I'm on my way back in now, confident that the solution will be even more beautiful than the original work - minus the "fabric errors." Having grown up in an era where taking pride in our work was a lifelong commitment, Michael continues that philosophy every day. Both he, and his wife, Mary, are ighly respected and appreciated "staples" in our community!

I decided to go in a few days ago and check and he still had them and they were fixed!! He even cleaned them up a little bit because they were covered in dust from sitting there for almost a year. Mariny was very fun and friendly, I highly recommend his business!

This place does great, high quality work. They are also very friendly and kind. Heads up though,…read morethey are incredibly sporadic and inconsistent with their hours, they will close or go on vacation, and not open at the times listed. There won't be updates on hours their voice message and the voicemail box is usually full, so you won't get a return call back. Make sure to call before you make the trip down there.

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!

Village Cobbler resoled the heels and weather-sealed the cork on my Birkenstocks. They did a really…read moregreat job, and I appreciated that they didn't push me to replace the entire sole! The service was only $40, which I'm very happy about considering it'll extend the life of the shoe by at least a few years. I also appreciated that they texted me promptly when it was ready. All this being said, I have to take off a star because the hours posted online aren't the ones on the door. Their website says they're open until at least 6pm on weekdays, but when I stopped by on a Tuesday at 3:15 they were closing up. I admit that I probably should have called ahead, but in my opinion if a business lists their hours on their website, it's their responsibility to keep that info up to date--otherwise, they should delete the hours from the website to eliminate confusion.

Brought my Birks for resoling and cork repair, expecting $40-50. No price was ever mentioned, then…read morethey charged $85 which is basically the cost of new ones. I didn't pick them up and just bought new ones. I will never be back. They are way over-priced and take advantage of their Armitage address.

They replaced a brass stud that had fallen off (and gotten lost) with a comparable one that isn't too noticeably different, as well as stitched a portion of the strap that had broken...all for $30! Paid via credit card BEFORE the work was done although perhaps I could have requested to pay after? Not sure. Either way I'm very satisfied and plan to use them again for shoes and other leather goods in the future. They are in the neighborhood and convenient for me although I wonder if there are cheaper alternatives out there. All in all great service!

My shoes are not clean…read more I wish I had looked up reviews before going here. The three week wait I took as a small shop with only one or two workers who take pride in their work. My shoes still have basic dirt on the bottom, and grime in the threads of the shoe. This was not a shoe cleaning. This was rinse them off with a hose and wait a few weeks.

My boyfriend has brought two items to this shoe repair for me: 1) a fake Louis Vuitton bag with a…read moretorn handle and 2) a pair of really cute Walmart sandals that had ripped where the little toe separator thingy meets the shoe. I was gonna get rid of them, but he liked them on me so much so I suggested he bring them "to the same guy who fixed my purse. Ask him if he can help us." I really thought there was no way to fix them, but he did!. For under $10 each, Garcia's Shoe Repair repaired each item and did a very quality job. I *highly* recommend the drive to drop off several items. The repair person is pretty amazing. Plus, this is a cool neighborhood -it's like being in Mexico in the middle of Chicago!
