Enter this shop in Old Town Alexandria, and you may think you are in one
of the Old Town museums, a working museum. There is a true old fashioned
shoe shop here, two craftsmen toiling away in a shop full of old lathes
and shoe forms.
There are ancient wooden racks on wheels full of leather shoes. Spend a few minutes speaking with a member of the Steube family about Alexandria Shoe Repair, and you will understand why they have such a good reputation. Mrs. Steube handles her vendors and suppliers with an iron fist. They know she must receive the best leathers and supplies, because of all of the times she has sent back goods that weren't up to her high standards.
It is the oldest continually operated shoe repair business in the state of Virginia. They are well known for the finest materials and workmanship. In a display case you will see the original hammers used by Great Grandfather Steube one hundred years ago, and some of the shoes he worked on.
Recently Mrs. Steube dyed a handbag and shoes for a customer to wear to the wedding of the Prince of Spain. Local wedding shops send their leather dye jobs to Alexandria Shoe Repair to get the best results in the area.
