    Excellent local shoe repair shop. Authentic and good. One of three shoemakers in the country who replaces soles of Lowa hiking boots. Also swiftly makes keys.

    Great place! Super quick for making extra sets of keys and also for shoe repairs. Everyone is super friendly and professional. My brother was already a customer and recommended I go here too, very satisfied!

    I took a Louis Vuitton bag to the Shoe Doctor with significant damage. Initially I thought it was irreparable and didn't have too high expectations. When I picked it up I was amazed at the result; the bag looked as if the damage had never been there. The service was very professional. Moreover, the gentleman was very friendly and modest. Although I was willing to pay extra for the excellent service, he declined, emphasizing that his goal is to please people. All in all, highly recommended. I did give him a tip 😇

    I don’t write the review a lot but this shop is 5 stars recommend. I wanted to fix my shoes and make some holes in my bag belt. The shop owner(I assume is the owner) is quite a decent man. And handsome 😌. He was very kind and helpful. He told me the shoes can be picked up by Friday which is today. And he made me the holes on the spot. And he even didn’t charge me for making holes. I went back today to pick up my shoes and it was like new. I did ask him if this shop is a luxury brand repair shop because everywhere were luxury items. He said yes and they are specialists in luxury goods repair. Not only the shoes but also the bags. We had small talk and when I was about to leave he said good bye and my name. I was so surprised that he remembered my name. My shoes is good as new and the craftsmanship is really great 👍 5 stars recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    So, this guy who works there is in the familybusiness for over 30 years and really knows his craft. He does it ALL (checked out his tiktok @shoedoctor020). I stepped in white paint with my (black soled) cowboy boots. I decited to go straight to the Shoedoctor (I found out that's how they call him haha, a man on the street recommended him to me). When coming in, I was approched in a kind & welcomed manner. I would consider this a quality company. He's real fast, could fix my shoes in 2 to 3 hours. But I had another apointment that day, so he gave me cute selfmade (Arabic style) leather shoes. I loved them. 2 days later, picking my boots, they looked way better than before. He even fixed the Calvin Klein logo under the shoe and made it more clear. I thanked him very much and started a conversation, found out he's a real upstand guy, who loves what he's doing and has a heart for the people. If you want to support a family business, who offers qualitywork and is kind, then you should definitly consider Meester Schoenmaker @Javastraat. I know, I'm hooked. (BTW: after I posted him on my social media, I only got positive responses from my followers. They said he's the best).

    I had a wonderful experience at Meester schoenmaker Hillie's and highly recommend it! The people who work there are very kind and helpful. Mo fixed my shoes and made them look more beautiful than when they were new! Besides doing an amazing job on my shoes, Mo's kindness and passion towards his work really impressed me. I will definitely come back here!

    Mo is amazing! They really know what they are doing at this shoe repair and very nice and helpful. I came in here on a Sunday as it is one of the few shoe repairs open in Amsterdam, but now I will bring all of my shoes and handbags here. There is no need to waste your time and money at shoe repairs in the Jordaan like NK. Mo knows his craft and does not refuse repairs. Great place, highly recommend it!

    Great shoe repair shop! I wasn't sure it was fixable (a hole on one shoe) but my boots have now a brand new life thanks to their excellent work. Thank you so much.

    The best experience. Great job, they made an effort to fix what had brought in quickly because I had a flight to make. And they did, as promised at a good rate. Highly recommended, sweet people. Breng Uw spulletjes hier naartoe. En nog hartelijk bedankt. 🙏

    Professional company with people who really help and advise you. I came with my pair of shoes and received the best service I could get as well as advice as well as aftercare. I will come here from now on and can recommend it to others too!

    €17.50 for this…. I cannot reply on your comment therefore I will add it here: First of all my complaint is about the quality of the job.. I am complaining about the poor quality vs the price I paid, when I pay that price I expect an immaculate job done which in this case did not happen.. has nothing to do with the damage of the heel, as you can see remaining glue on the heel hasn't even been removed, its not done properly it would be nice to just admit instead blaming the customer. The reason I did not contact you earlier is because I was away and just had the time to do it now. Once again, I do not mind paying for repairs but I do expect good work and not just a quick fix with remaining glue on the heel etc.. pictures show enough.

    This man actually lives up to his name as a shoe doctor! I have quite a difference in leg length and had a piece stuck under my sole for years. However, this made for a stiff and heavy shoe. That's why I wanted to have a piece taken off my other shoe instead. Other shoemakers avoided this job. But not the shoe doctor! He always thinks along with me so that I can walk properly again. Always super friendly and a true professional! Thank you very much again for your thoughts and excellent work! Kind regards, Eva Wartewig

    I have been coming to Mo and his wife for more than 25 years, they are great professionals who know what they are talking about, especially repairing the shoe and so on. They also sell beautiful shoes and accessories. Top shop. Greetings Ron.

    This place is absolutely amazing. The kindest people work there and you get the best results. I’ve had bags, heels and sneakers repaired there and all came back to me in the best shape possible. Very pleased and will definitely come back!

    Not just a shoe doctor, but a bag doctor as well! My Chloe bag is like new! As are my summer sandals!

  • 5/5 Edmond S. 7 years ago on Google
    Excellent shop. Very reasonable priced (30 Euros for replacing two heels and repairing one peeling sole flap at the front) as well as a complimentary polish. Service was fast (not more than 20 minutes) and polite, by chatting while I waited. There is also free wifi in range.

    I’ve been a client to the store and repair shop for over 3 years now. I’ve found some really good deals on shoes (I believe I’ve bought at least 5 pairs already) and the repairs saved 2 pairs of boots and a bag that I really love. Why throw them away when you can fix :)

  • 5/5 J L. 6 years ago on Google
    Hillie's is fantastic. I had a pair of very good black, dress shoes that never fit quite right. They were too wide. Resizing a shoe is not easy and it is hard to find a service that will do it and do it right. But, the result is fantastic. I could not be happier and would recommend his service to anyone.

  • 5/5 Kerry F. 6 years ago on Google
    Fabulous repair of my much loved walking boots. Soles were in a terrible state. In perfect condition on picking them up. Would highly recommend the work done here. Thank you once again. Once again. Thank you for a get job. Husband's boots resoled perfectly. And you also fix the sole of my boot that had started to separate.

    I brought my €250 Meindl shoes and my €180 timberland 3 eye classic and a €120 toe shoe to mr. Uncle, they were in a very bad shape that I wanted to throw them all, a friend told me to go fix em, i looked up this place and was not disappointed at all, as good as new in less money then buying my cheapest shoe back, I’m sorry but if you don’t bring your shoes here, you are an idiot!.

    Meester schoenmaker did a fantastic job with my boots. They needed a tricky repair that another shop closer to my house wasn't able to accommodate. Meester schoenmaker replaced the plastic, broken lip of the top of my boots with a soft leather that matched the original boot color exactly. I can't thank him enough. I can now wear my boots comfortably without tall socks.

    My wife's golf bag was eaten by rats in the golf course locker. Hillie went to try to repair the damage, it was his first golf bag operation, and the result is phenomenal. It has exceeded all expectations and is proof that the third generation in the shoemaker family is also a master shoemaker!!

👍👍 Read up on a lot of coffee shops and decided on this place. We really enjoyed it. We got the pre rolled hashish which was perfect for us. Mellow and relaxing.
