For over 30 years, Gino's has helped Indianapolis residents restore shoes, boots, handbags, and leather goods to like-new condition.
The average American takes 7,500 steps a day. When you find shoes that carry those miles in comfort, you want to keep them. You paid good money for those heels, that briefcase, those lace-up boots. Worn-out soles do not mean they belong in the trash. With resoling, re-heeling, polishing, stitching, gluing, and dyeing, we put years of life back into the items you already love.
From a quick polish to a full rebuild, our work covers shoes, boots, handbags, leather jackets, backpacks, and more. Pair that with a wide range of comfort and foot care products and you have a single shop for footwear, on the northeast side of Indianapolis.

Repairing your shoes, boots, purses, and leather goods costs a fraction of buying new; it keeps perfectly good items out of the landfill, and it puts work in the hands of a local artisan. Those three things matter more than ever.
Resoling, re-heeling, and refurbishing typically cost a fraction of brand-new replacements.
Recycling what you already own keeps textiles and leather out of Indianapolis landfills.
Every repair is done in-shop by Gino, an artisan shoemaker carrying on an Italian family tradition.
Resoling, conditioning, custom arch supports, and more. Below is a sample of what we offer; the full list lives on the services page.
Heel and sole work, orthopedic adjustments, and protection for daily drivers and dress shoes.
Handbags, jackets, and backpacks restored, shortened, recolored, and reinforced.
Polish, dye, waterproof, stretch, and recondition so the items you love keep performing.
The first step to total foot comfort is understanding a little more about your feet. Every foot is unique, with its own arch type, pressure points, and support needs.
Aetrex's patented iStep foot scanning technology identifies your arch type, exact size, and pressure map in seconds. It then recommends the ideal orthotic style for the way you actually walk, work, and live.
Stop in for a free scan. We'll match you with the right insole, comfort shoe, or arch support in minutes.
From dress shoes to work boots, handbags to heels, the work changes every day. Here is a small sample of what walks through the door.
Drop by the shop Tuesday through Saturday, or call ahead to ask about a specific repair. Most estimates take just a few minutes.
