Cooperative La Zapateria Handmade

Treat yourself to some custom handmade shoes. One if the highlights of Lima. We had a pair of 41 women's shoes made for my wife. Awesome service and quality designs. The workshop is upstairs.

Stumbled across this shop at the beginning of our time exploring Barranco and we were still thinking about it days later—we had to come back! The shop’s vibes and aesthetic are amazing! Products are all made by hand in the workshop upstairs and the craftsmanship is impressive. The shop attendant was super helpful and she let us shop on our own rather than the aggressive sales tactics you usually experience walking into stores in the area. We bought two pairs of shoes and two different style bags (the 2-in-1 messenger and backpack is one of the coolest designs). Prices are very reasonable, and if you had a week or two you can even have products custom-made for the same price. We’ve already checked out the website to see about shipping a couple more products to the US. Can not express how happy we are with our visit!

High quality products. When something didn’t go as planned they worked quickly and diligently to rectify the problem. Highly recommend!

Unbelievable experience, Beautiful place in downtown Barranco. Obviously a family business. They worked with me to create a custom pair of shoes that I never thought I would be able to attain. Great quality and craftsmanship! I will work with them for all of my footwear needs moving forward!!

I love this place Amy, Lucho and everyone there is so helpful and friendly they will go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. High quality shoes and superb service. I had my shoes made in 4 days. Normally it takes about 7 but I pay a Rush Fee (well worth it) and I’m more than happy. Highly recommend and I would definitely come back here.

The shoes are very fine but the experience is to get them custom made. It’s the same price whether you buy in store or get them measured and then made to any leather type and color you want. Once they have made them once for you, they have your foot mold and can make others. Takes a week to turn around custom shoes. Get it done if you have time or returning to Lima at end of your trip.

They are not truthful with their prices. They tell you a price and when you go to pay the price magically increases! I went three times to the store because I wasn’t sure if I liked the purse. Then when I finally came with the money she increased the price by $20!! I left very disappointed specially because she said they do not take card and I went out if my way to bring cash.

Beautifully hand made shoes, workshop is above the store front.
