Shoe Hospital

This is the best shoe repair station! I sent my boots here to fix the heel and they only need 3 hrs to make it like new! The price here is also very competitive! Also the staff here is all polite, if I have any shoe problem I still will come back to this store.

I took a very old but very valuable pair of boots to the shop to see if two eyelets could be repaired or replaced after another shop could not fix the boot. The Shoe Hospital not only made the repairs with the original eyelets but they did it in a matter of hours. I will go nowhere else from now on.

Shoe Hospital does pretty good work and they deliver on time. Though, sometimes it’s pretty overpriced:
$ 22 for cleaning a pair of suede shoes?
$ 70 for new soles on a pair of shoes that wasn’t much more than that to start?
Also on latter cleaning, it was requested and quoted as «clean and apply protectant» but pretty sure there was no protectant.

The best place in the Loop to get your shoes shined! There’s no wait, the price is great, and the guys here are really friendly.

seamless and quick and worth the money.

First time here! In and out in less than 5 minutes for adding two holes to a belt, and the quality and price was amazing! When he handed the belt back to me I could not even tell that he had added the holes until I counted (they were just that good — evenly spaced, and very close in size).

I brougth a pair of shoes to replace the sole (not that it is broke or damaged, just the surface is too slipery), and I was surprise when I ask how much it would be, they said 70 dlls (what? Seriouly??) the guy said, «oh yeah, because is good material what Im going to use, bla bla bla» to me it was a piece of comun rubber, It is an abuse to charge that amount when the real price for my shoes was 40 dlls. Definitely Not a place to fix my shoes.

This place is fantastic. I dropped off a pair of suede pumps to get the heel repaired and my beloved frye boots to get the sole reinforced (it was separating from the boot) and grips added to prevent slipping and killing myself come winter. The gentleman there told me that I should reinforce the toe on my heels as well as they were worn pretty thin. When would they be ready? Tomorrow? 24 hours? Seriously? Awesome. Total cost was $ 78 which I think is great considering how thorough of a job they did. I came back the next day and both pairs looked like new. I was so impressed, I immediately brought in my husband’s dress shoes to have them «inspected» and shined up. So glad to have found this place. It’s really a waste to throw away nice shoes when all they need is a little love.
Also — to echo several other reviewers — the Monadnock Building that this shop is housed in is GORGEOUS. I felt like I had traveled back in time and was looking to hire a private investigator or something as soon as I stepped in. It’s worth going through even if you aren’t hitting up one of the shops inside.

$ 5 shoe sine that is pretty standard. You can by a package of $ 10, which drops the price down a dollar or two. There are plenty of chairs, so even if there is a wait you can sit and read the paper. There is usually at least 2 guys working, so you can get in and out within 20 minutes. They also do a pretty good job at shoe repair, although their prices are a bit high considering what they usually do in terms of repairs.

I had 2 pairs of heels replaced and they came out exactly how I expected.

Kenneth Cole has always been a brand that’s been good to me, but when the soles of a pair of dress shoes started separating from the shoes, I had two things to say: 1) I thought these soles were stitched, but by gum, they’re… gummed! 2) And if these soles start falling off the shoe as I walk, we’re all three going to come unglued!
I brought them to the Shoe Hospital to resuscitate them. I didn’t have shoe insurance, but the hospital fees were going to be low enough that I wouldn’t need to euthanize the shoes. They would be ready the next day; though I decided to give them several additional days for recovery. I love the shoes, but it was freaking cold out that week.
When I went to get shoes, they were perfectly healthy again, in fact, healthier than when I brought them in. The surgeon had not only glued the soles back on, but he had also put in at least 30 stitches per shoe. Now that’s service much beyond what I expected, and when I talked to the attending surgeon himself, there was no hint of arrogant doctor, only a man with perfect bedside manner making sure I liked what he had done.
Now I can only hope that Kenneth learns how to sew again.

Excellent, quick service. Prices were reasonable considering they’re located in a pricey part of the loop.

I brought in two pairs of shoes to be shined, one of which needed new laces. Shoe Hospital did a phenomenal job – I had a spa-​like experience hanging out with David while he shined the pair that I was wearing. I’m looking forward to my next chance to go back.

I found this business based on Unilocal reviews and it did not disappoint.
I have a pair of leather pumas that are now discontinued that I could not purchase anywhere. I love those shoes so much that I had to figure out a way to get them repaired. The shoe hospital cured my shoes!
First of all, the store is in the beautiful historic monadnock building, so stepping inside is like stepping back in time.
They have a shoe shine stand and the shoe doctor taking patients as they come in. As a new customer, they were great. They were able to fix my shoes in less than 3 hours.
I was honestly surprised at how well they did, considering how the shoes looked when I left them. The shoes looks like new now. Fantastic job and I will be back again.

$ 20 to fix my heel on my Frye boots, $ 30 to add a non-​skid sole to it. Not bad — beautifully polished too and a super fast turnaround!

I’ve never been disappointed with the quality and service at Shoe Hospital. They are timely, offer good advice, and do excellent repairs of all kinds.

As ye royale duke of Shoe Hospital I highly recommend the place. They do quality work and you can trust them with your high-​end items. We’ve brought them several pairs of shoes to be fixed, polished up, and stretched, and each time they were ready that day and looked great.
It’s not cheap ($ 25 to $ 35 for most stretching and repairing) but you pay for what you get. If you paid a lot for a pair of shoes and you’re not ready to give them up bring them here — in the end it will be worth the price.

If your favorite pair of heels need healing, forget the homeopathic remedies and get them to the ER at Shoe Hospital.
Before the internet existed, we had to get our kicks by sneak (er)-ing into the over 18 section of our local Payless. If we got caught, we were made to feel like heels, could get booted out, and/​or worse, left with a shoe print on our behinds.
Nowadays, you can get all your NSFW shoe images directly from the DSW website.
Maybe you don’t seek carnal images at shoe carnival’s website. Still, tv shows and movies bombard us with images of shoerotica, as if all shoes were a perfect size six and invulnerable to age and wear from pounding pavement.
With the pressure the media places on shoes of both genders to meet this unrealistic standard of age-​defying taut leather, impossibly firm heels, and an eternally polished glow — it’s no wonder that ever more shoes are turning to cosmetic surgery to improve their appearance. With that pressure, I too decided to have a little work done to address some wear and tear.
Let me tell you, the staff at Shoe Hospital revolutionized the state of my zapatos way better than the zapatistas could ever dream of revolutionizing the state of Mexico.
My heels looked as if they never set foot on this earth. My leather booties came back smooth as a baby’s booty. My kicks shined like Eric Lasalle’s hair in ‘Coming to America’ after a fresh coat of Soul Glow.
Besides doing a good job, they are discreet. Folks may notice a younger appearance, but they’ll never be able tell that you had work done. Why?
Because their stitches don’t snitch.
Your boots were made for walking, but not every footwear injury can be walked off. So if you have someone you need to walk all over, vote with your feet by stepping into Shoe Hospital to have those heels healed first.

I have been very pleased with their work. I first went due to Unilocal reviews to have my Tory Burch shoes looked at. The fronts were all scuffed. They were able to completely fix this, polish them, and add new heels. They looked brand new when I picked them up. I was a little surprised at the high price ($ 25), but I have been told by others this is average. I also brought a belt here to have a hole added. They did it while I waited for $ 3 — it was a little crooked but you can’t tell from far away. I’ve also had them add rubber soles to some of my heels — this was also $ 25 each. The shoes looked great when I picked them up. Everything I have dropped off has been ready same day. Will definitely be a regular customer.

for the price they charge, and the mediocre job they do– you’re better off going elsewhere. I took my boots to get new heels and and get a couple scuffs removed. And i took my heels to get shampoo-​ed and shined. In total it was about $ 48. When I received my shoes, I was very unimpressed. The paint they used on my LEATHER boots wasn’t even blended and look exactly the way it was, brown shoe paint over leather. They do however, do good jobs on heel replacement. Now as far as my heels go, the shampoo and shine was mediocre. At least not to merit $ 20. There were still water spots on my shoes, and scuff marks which were all promised to go away.
The worst part of it all was the lady who works there, had a HUGE attitude when I was asking how much she charged me for everything when I came to pick it up. I still paid her overpriced quote but, I was left wondering what I had spent almost $ 50 in repairs for.
It would have been great to have gotten a 24 hour turn around like many of the reviews state, but I waited 5 days (albeit including the weekend) so of course, I was expecting fabulous results. Sigh…
So be weary, upon arriving you will be promised that your shoes will look brand new but, you will be overpriced, given attitude, and disappointed. Seriously, their work does not match up with their prices.
