Had shoes made in March 2020 for my wedding that was supposed to be in September 2020. Well... pandemic. When I got them from my mom (I live out of state) they were a completely different color from the piece of reference material I provided. if I could attach a photo I would. Happy to share it with any and all. I called to discuss this, but at this point the pandemic had shut everything down. I totally understand that, and figured when they opened back up they would call or we would go in. Never got a call back. My mother was just vaccinated and could finally go in person. When we took them in she was told 1) They were the exact same color. They are not at all. 2) They looked like they had been worn. They were not. They sat in the box they came in for a year in her air conditioned closet. 3) There was nothing they could do. Trying to fix the color would ruin the lace overlay and they will not give us our money back. They also wouldn't keep the shoes with no refund in case I "changed my mind". I understand this has been a hard year, I've had one too, we all have. There were so many different ways this could have been handled, and none of them were chosen. While I gave every leeway and benefit of the doubt in this hard time I was met with "there is nothing we can do." Instead I am left with something that is completely incorrect, feeling like I have been ripped off in addition to all the fun of having to cancel my wedding last year. Please, spare yourself and go anywhere but here. read more

Carl is a genius! I bought my dress at Always Elegant and Rafaela suggested that I check out Shoetique. I was a bit reluctant at first and then I met Carl. He listend to what I wanted and helped me choose the right shoes for my dress. I asked him to add a little rhinestones to the shoes and dye them accordingly. I loved the shoes he made. He also spent a lot of time adding padding and ensuring that they fit comfortably. He also added the "I do" on the bottoms and "Me too" to my husband's shoes. I lasted in the shoes more than halfway through the wedding before changing into my back up flats. I had brought him other shoes for him to add padding and make them fit better and he made them fit my feet perfectly and didn't charge me extra. Overall, I highly recommend all brides check out this store for comfortable and very reasonably priced shoes. read more

I was very pleased with the service. I was the mother of the bride and last minute decided to change the color of my shoes and was able to get the shoes dyed in a day. I couldn't have been more pleased. The prices were high but the quality of the shoe was very nice and the extra touch provided by the owner was much appreciated. read more

I found this store by accident and I am so glad I did. The owner was so helpful and wonderful!! My daughter bought her shoes there for her wedding and I bought my shoes also. He dyed the shoes and is dying a purse for me too. He is so polite and helpful. He even cut the heel on my shoe for me!!! I highly recommend this store. Great customer service and quality shoes!! read more

Carl added rhinestones to my daughters wedding shoes. The shoes were stunning. Carl is a gentleman and a true craftsman. I would highly recommend Shoetique and Carl. You will not be disappointed. read more

Carl was helpful but misleading with pricing. More than once I had to go back and every time I was quoted different prices and the coloring of my shoe is more white than ivory. Unfortunately I will not be returning read more

I will never go to this store again. The owner did a very messy dye job on my daughter's prom shoes.Not only was it messily applied, but the color was uneven on both shoes. When I explained that we paid a lot of money for this pair of shoes, he said it shouldn't matter how much I paid, and why would we buy them if we couldn't afford them. That in itself was insulting, because it wasn't a matter of not being able to purchase them, it was a matter of not having a product that was worth the money. I would rather have spent $50 on poorly done shoes, than on shoes that are 5x that amount. He also said several times it takes time to make the color, but only 5 seconds to apply it. Well, maybe if he took 10 seconds the result would be better. He told us to get Windex and clean it ourselves. I agree with the other reviewer, a nasty man read more

I thought I had posted a review of Carl's Shoetique after my daughter's wedding, but I don't see it. So here goes! I agree that Carl is a shoe genius! Several co-workers recommended Carl -- said he did amazing things with shoes. They weren't kidding! I was very last minute - went to him on a Tuesday and the wedding was Saturday. He customized two pairs of shoes for me - one for the rehearsal dinner and one for the wedding. He colored them to match the two dresses and in plenty of time. He is wonderful at what he does and is also a great man. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carl to anyone! Thank you again, Carl! read more

A friend of mine whose daughter was recently married recommended this shop, spoke highly of the owner, Carl, and stated that he can customize shoes for any event. Carl is a wonderful gentleman and spent a lot of time listening to my daughter's ideas for her wedding shoes. He showed us shoes in the store that he had enhanced with beading, bows, and rhinestones and dyed to match the client's dresses as well as pictures of how he could embellish the shoe she chose. Carl added rhinestones and fitted the shoe perfectly to her foot by altering the strap as well as putting padding under the foot and hiding it so it was beautiful for photos. It is evident that he loves what he does and wants to please his customers with a unique shoe. He also stocks a variety of accessories and my daughter purchased an elegant clutch at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Shoetique and Carl for your go to unique shoe for any event. read more

Hi! We stopped at Shoetique, after I bought a mother of the bride dress from the lovely Always Elegant bridal shop next door. The owner was very helpful in advising me about what to get for my daughter's wedding. He suggested that I get a dyed purse, with shoes to match. He did the work, and it came out very well. He advised me to wear the shoes a few days before, to break them in. All in all, a very helpful owner, and a splendid experience. I would recommend this shop to anyone! Pat M. read more
