joapepchi Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Does anyone know where I can go to get my shoes shined in the area? Doesn't necessarily have to be a stand, could be a drop off place. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToryGattis Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Well, it's a big city, but the four places I've had it done are inside the airports, George R. Brown Convention Center, Galleria Westin (none of those are very convenient) and here in Bellaire: Bellaire Car Wash & Auto Salon -more info »5803 Bellaire Boulevard, Houston, TX(713) 839-9200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat_zor Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I've taken several pairs of shoes to Arris Shoe Repair on Durham at I-10. I was having the little plastic part on my high heels replaced, but they also did a nice job of shining them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 V's Barbershop at Gray and Shepherd has a shoeshine guy who is very good. The Houston Shoe Hospital on Shepherd also does a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyHatch Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I've had excellent luck with the little shop on 19th. Tiny little hole in the wall in the middle of all the frou frou shops. The guy is an old school cobbler, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those places where you wonder what they really do there. But a great shoe shine and some interesting people watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashman Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 You can drop them off at Harold's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
