José has really great customer service and it is clear that he takes lots of care of each pair of shoes he takes and is able to tell you specifics about your pair, including things that came up. Would recommend, the shoes look great.

Jose absolutely killed it with my shoes. I brought him 10 pairs, several of them quite worn…

Excellent service across the board. Convenient, fast service, and great results. Communication was excellent, the entire process was easy and seamless. And the results? Made my shoes look and feel brand new again. I will use this service again, highly recommend!

Josh L.Aug 2026

This is my go-to spot for shoe shining! My shoes always look perfect and I really appreciate Jose’s flexibility when it comes to picking them up or dropping them off! Most importantly, his kindness to his customers really stands out above all. Always recommend this place to anyone in Calgary who needs a shoe shining service.

Walker S.Aug 2026

Really happy with the end result, especially how Jose was able to fix the scuffing at the toe box.

Cheryl A.Jul 2026

I decided to give The Shine Drop a try for my used cowboy boots, and I'm glad I did! Jose and Maria did an excellent job. From welcoming me with a smile to keeping me updated throughout the cleaning process and explaining the available options, they were friendly, professional, and attentive. They brought these dirty boots back to life, and I couldn't be happier with the results

Sathya I.Jul 2026

Jose did a fantastic job!!! The results far exceeded the cost and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend The Shine Drop to my coworkers.

Scott N.Jul 2026

Amazing high quality job. Brought a pair of used cowboy boots to be restored for use at a wedding. While the boots I brought them weren’t destroyed they weren’t in good shape at all. What I got back looked like a brand new set of cowboy boots that looked like they just rolled off the shelf. Any truly roughed up or damaged spots were gone. The shine and material looked like the leather was brand new and the boots freshly made. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The service was so friendly, transparent and detailed. I will use them again and again and I highly highly recommend them to anyone.

JamesJul 2026

Jose is personable and conscientious. Excellent work on the shoes! I got the Classic package. Very happy.

Daniel G.Jul 2026

My cowboy boots were in dire need of an emergency refurbishment before a stampede event, and Jose restored them beautifully with less than 24 hours notice. They look better than they did when I first got them. I couldn’t be more pleased!

Olivia W.Jul 2026

Great work! My white sneakers look almost brand new!

Felina A.Jun 2026

11/10 my boots have never looked so good! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a proper shine

Jordan H.Jun 2026

An absolute pleasure to meet Jose… pretty refreshing to see someone so passionate about their craft. I received two pairs of shoes back and was delighted at the results! Highly recommend for sure.

Luke T.Apr 2026

I had a pair of older leather shoes restored by Jose at The Shine Drop, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Jose is warm, friendly, and clearly takes real pride in his work. From the moment I connected with him, I knew my shoes were in good hands. The transformation was remarkable. My shoes had become dull and tired looking, and he brought them back beautifully — polished, refreshed, and elegant again. What I love most is that this kind of thoughtful, specialized service exists right here in Calgary. Instead of replacing good items, you can have them cared for properly by someone who truly values craftsmanship. His service was so good, and the final results were so spectacular, that I took him three more pairs of shoes! He communicates well, provides excellent service, and truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend The Shine Drop for anyone wanting to restore shoes or other leather goods.

Sandra J.Apr 2026

Amazing work by Jose restoring my dress shoes from the brink of death. Better than new.

Tanner O.Apr 2026

Recently trusted my favourite pair of shoes to Jose, and what I got back wasn’t just clean footwear — it was a full revival. The leather looked nourished, the colour restored to a rich, deep tone, and the shine? Mirror-level brilliance. The kind that turns heads before you even say a word. Gracias amigo! Highly recommended!!

Rodolfo V.Feb 2026

Excellent service, super friendly and professional! The turnaround was impressively quick, and they did an amazing job on my boots. They came back looking brand new with a perfect shine. Highly recommend!

NicoleAug 2025

Wow! Excellent and quick service. These guys revived my 12yo dress shoes! They are ready for 12 more years of use. Thank you!!

GusAug 2025
