Austin Shoe Hospital repairs shoes, boots, handbags, belts, wallets and luggage. Women's work covers heels, flats, wedges, sandals, sneakers, dyeable and wedding shoes, orthopedic build-ups and lifts, fashion and western boots. Men's repairs include dress shoes, sneakers, sandals, western and dress boots, and work, hiking or military boots. Shoe care products such as polishes, insoles, laces and shoe trees are also sold.

The shop is at Bee Caves Road in west Austin, and it has several other locations around town, including Westlake, Cedar Park, Round Rock and 4 Points.

The company says its family has been in shoe repair since its first business opened in Houston over a century ago.
