In our customers' words
The reviews tell the story.
"Luis is the hardest working man I know. He is the only repairman I would take any of my work to and have for years. In fact I am sending a pair of boots from Phoenix, AZ today that need new sole and heels and it's worth the expense and time to get them done correctly."
"Hands down the best customer service I've had in years! I walked in with a broken heel with no advance call or anything and they fixed my heel immediately! Highly recommend!"
"Took my Matterhorn boots in as the original sole was starting to separate in the middle. Fixed me up and my boots were like new again. Have another pair of Matterhorn boots that I'm going to have him fix for me."
"New heels, soles and reconditioning for a 5-year-old pair of Wolverine 1000 mi boots. They look great and ready for another 1,000 miles."
"I took a pair of shoes in to have buttons sewed on. I needed them the same day. They worked me in and shined and polished within a couple of hours! Very nice to do business with and excellent customer service!"
"I chose this place to recap my heels because of the good reviews and I was not disappointed. Very nice and helpful people, and the work is fast and of high quality. Will definitely be using them the next time I need a shoe repaired."
"I had a pair of boots that I did not think the soles could be repaired but they were able to repair them and return the boots to almost new condition. Fast turn around and great customer service."
"These nice people were very easy to do business with and had exactly what I was looking for. Very interesting store with something for everyone. Highly recommend swinging by."
"Excellent service. Honesty about expectations. Customer friendly. I highly recommend these personable and experienced people."
"Luis is amazing! He gave me honest info and even stayed open late since he knew I was rushing to get there. I highly recommend this store."
"Knowledgeable craftsman, wish I had found him sooner! Will be bringing him all our leather goods."
"Incredibly fast service and top quality craftsmanship."
"Long time customer. I've been using Luis since his days in Oak Park Mall. He does amazing work and I trust him with all my best leather goods. I have moved away, but will drive to have him restore my favorite Prada loafers. He really is that good!"
"Took my boots to him and he fixed them very quickly! We first tried stretching the boots and unfortunately that did not work and I could not fit my calves in. Went back and had him add a zipper, but it still wasn't enough, so then he added in more fabric and the boots look great! The design doesn't look that disturbed from the original either! I will definitely be bringing all my cowboy boots to him from now on! I've received so many compliments on my boots and a lot of people really like the zipper."
"Excellent workmanship and kept me updated on when my boots were ready for pick-up. They look better now than they did when I dropped them off! Thank you!"
"We were told the repair would be done in one hour if we wanted to wait because we live 2 hours away. That was great with us! Did a nice job."
"I've been a customer since Shoe Express was in Olathe. Luis always done a great job on repairing my shoes. I recently brought in a purse to have a riveted snap replaced because one snap broke and I lost the piece. He did a perfect job. I highly recommend Shoe Express over using Bag & Baggage."
"This is a great shoe repair store. The owner does nice work at fair prices. When you get something fixed, have him shine your shoes too — he does a great job."
"I had two very expensive shoes to repair. In record time they were shined, repaired and new soles put on both. Allen Edmonds and Tommy Bahamas looked good as new!"
"What a great job repairing the heels on my FIL’s boots. So appreciate the great work and the affordable price! They look like new!"
"Shop owner Luis is very polite, professional, and a master of the skills and trade. Definitely recommend for all your shoe and luggage repair needs."
"I took in 5 pairs of shoes. All with a variety of needs. They look wonderful! I will be taking some of hubby's shoes in too."
"Fixed my bag in under 2 hours. Awesome service."
"Shined my dress shoes while I waited and they look great."
"Brought in a pair of thrifted boots that had the heel break on me. The turnaround time was great, the shoes are fixed wonderfully and had them cleaned and polished as well. Great price for the services I had done as well. Highly recommend!"
"I can't remember this guy's name, but he did a great job fixing the velcro strap on my shoe. He stitched around the velcro on both shoes. It looks clean. I guarantee it will never come loose. So he buffed and polished them, they look good! I thought the price was reasonable."
"I brought my son's backpack in after the straps tore out at the seam. He loves this backpack so I wanted to get it fixed for him before school starts again. I tried out Shoe Express Repair for the first time and was so happy with their work. They had it done the next day for a fair price and I think it looks great!"
"My favorite pair of loafers were beat up and I was considering getting rid of them. I dropped in to see if they could be brought back to life and Luis said no problem. I doubted him but agreed to let him work his magic. He did an amazing job and they looked almost new. Great work, price and turnaround time. Thanks Luis, I appreciate it."
"Super nice guy. Did great work for a reasonable price. Quick turn around."
"Luis is the best! He is great to talk to and his quality is second to none."
"They did a great job and quick service. I'll be going back every time I need my shoes done."
"A lost art of quality craftsmanship with amazing attention to detail in protecting and preserving my leather investments. Absolutely the best I have ever used!"
"Have used this shop for many years. He provides very good workmanship. Resole boots, repaired sandals, replace and repair heels."
"Friendly, quick and great quality repairs. Or just for a quick shine as well — don't forget to always waterproof your shoes!"
"If you need anything repaired, he's the guy. He has been doing this work for a long time."
