Meet Eckstein’s
A Beech Grove shoe shop since 1923.
More than a century on Main Street, and still run by people who’d rather fix your shoes than sell you new ones.
1923
Eckstein’s opens its doors in Beech Grove.
2012
The Coffman family buys Eckstein’s and keeps the repair bench going.
Today
Repairs, supportive shoes and a counter where customers still stop to talk.
Mary
Repairs & fitting
With Eckstein’s since the Coffman family took over. Handles many repairs and all of the shoe shining, and knows over a hundred ways to lace a shoe for comfort.
The family
100th anniversary
Shirley (Eckstein) Miller with Jim and Mary on the 100th anniversary. Jim’s wife Jennifer and their three children, Claire, Alexander and Theodore, are part of the story too, and the two oldest often help in the store after school.
Come say hello.
Bring in a pair that needs help, or just ask a question.
