Tip Toe Shoe Repair

They get you in and out. Conveniently located next to a row of ‘out of order’ parking meters. So parking was free! They fix purses, shine shoes, repair shoes, etc. call and ask to see if they do what you need

I trust my shoes to no other. If Andy cannot do it, buy new shoes. Pleasant atmosphere with top shelf customer service. The staff follows your preference but if they recommend another way, follow it! They also have great products if your downtown and in a pinch. After getting a shine here you will be skeptical about any other.

Tip toe has breathed new life into my favorite pair of leather boots for years! Repairing the soles, restitching leather trim, shining them up. I’ve also had them repair high heels. They always do a great job. I also love the energy that Andy and his employees have. Highly recommend this place for shoe repair.

Outstanding!
Located right next to Lafayette Coney Island, this is your one stop destination for shoe repair! I went here after a heel came off one of my dress shoes, and they had it fixed in twenty minutes for $ 10. Looking at the shoe, you could never tell that it was broken. The people who work there are very eccentric, which I found amusing, and they are clearly experts at what they do. Why go anywhere else?

These guys do good work. They’re a little pricy, but probably worth it. You might want to call ahead to ask if your shoes are ready for pick-​up, as mine weren’t the first time I came to pick them up.

I went here two years ago to repair brand new dress shoes that had ripped. I don’t recall the exact time-​frame but I’m pretty sure they fixed them in 24 hours for a very good price, and the shoes have held up since!

Tip Toe is incredible. A no-​nonsense, old school shop in the heart of Detroit. They have done everything for me from replacing those little, black heels tips to restoring torn leather on shoes I thought I’d have to throw away. Fair prices and quick service, these guys are the best.

Tip Toe is a closet-​sized shop located a couple doors down from Lafayette Coney Island. Both store fronts on either side are abandoned. The first time I tried to find this place, I drove by it about 3 times because the sign is in disrepair and difficult to read.
There is an old style shoe-​shine bench, and it’s totally still used! Everytime i’ve been here, there is a friendly old man (or lady) shining shoes. Kinda cool. You just don’t see those things anymore. :)
Anytime I’ve brought shoes here, they fix them in the time that I wait (less than 10 minutes). They make sure to show you the work they did, and get your OK of satisfaction before they ring you up. The total is always less than I expect it to be.
I’m not sure the history of the place, but from the looks of it, I imagine it’s been in that spot a long time, and probably shined the shoes of many a businessman back in the city’s heyday. It’s the kind of place I feel good putting my money into.
