Our Leather Expertise Story

15+ years of dedicated leather care excellence in Pine Bluff, Arkansas

Our Journey

From a small local business to Arkansas's most trusted leather care specialists

Founded on Passion and Precision

The Shoe Express Pine Bluff began as a modest repair shop in 2008 when founder Marcus Johnson realized that leather items in Pine Bluff needed specialized care. What started as a weekend hobby quickly grew into a full-time commitment to excellence.

Over the years, we've evolved from basic shoe repairs to becoming the region's most comprehensive leather care specialists. Our growth has been driven by one core principle: every leather item deserves professional expertise and meticulous attention to detail.

Today, we proudly serve customers throughout Arkansas with a full range of leather services, from simple cleanings to complex restorations that breathe new life into treasured items. Our success is built on the trust our customers place in us and our unwavering commitment to their satisfaction.
