There's a huge shine area so if you like the old fashioned shoe shine experience you can enjoy it here. And he fixed my shoe perfectly.

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!

He requires a deposit, I gave him $40 and he told me one week, I came back a week later and my shoes were not done or even touched yet. He told me one more week. I returned another week later and my shoes had still not even been looked at/touched. I asked for my shoes and deposit back, he refused, yelling (but I couldnt understand) I had to basically pry my OWN shoes out of this mans hands in order to get them back. I completely gave up on getting my $40 deposit back and left. They will take your money and not do the service. Its all cash so you cant dispute the charges. Scam!

We've been going to Gus for at least 10 years to refresh, repair, and polish our shoes. He does a…read moregreat job to keep our well-loved, high-end shoes looking good so that we can keep using them. From re-soling Bally loafers and Louboutin heels, adjusting the fit, fixing rips in the heel of stilettos, repairing and polishing purses, replacing a metal shank in a pair of sandals - we've used a lot of his services. While it's not inexpensive, you get what you pay for and I'm glad to not spend a lot more for a new pair of shoes that then needs to be worn in.

I can recommend Gus' Shoe Repair! Gus has a nice shop, and is organized & professional. I…read morerecently had a pair of Bruno Magli dress shoes re-soled and he did such a good job that they fit better than when they were brand new. Gus is a true professional cobbler. I wore dress shoes for work and used to buy expensive shoes with leather soles, such as Church's English Leather. I had shoes resoled probably a dozen times and used to use Brooks at the Pittsfield Building, but they are out of business. Gus' is on par with the old Brooks, and my go-to shop for now on. Keep up the excellent work Gus! ~Greg Perdue, Chicago

I dropped it off Wednesday and they said it would be ready by Monday. They actually had it ready the next day so thy are definitely fast but I think I would have preferred they take their time and get the small details right. The ll bean boots look good, there was some leftover polish they didn't fully rub in but minor quibble. Really its the repair on the danner boots that I think would have benefited from more attention to detail. The leather they replaced is the same color but way more wrinkled and its clearly a cheaper leather than the original. Whats worse is the stitching, the old one had it tucked in and smooth but the repair has the old leather more pronounced and it rubs on the heel and ankle. Its still wearable but feel like an extra 10 minutes would have resulted in a better finish.
