Kishan Shoe Maker is a long-standing, traditional handcrafted footwear shop located in the Landour area of Mussoorie. Part of a generational lineage of shoemakers originally from Bhind-Morena, his shop embodies the legacy of custom leather craftsmanship in the hill station.

Kishan, the face of the enterprise, has honed his skill for over fifty years, specializing in the crucial bottoms and finishing of the shoes. He often collaborates with other local artisans, like Sanjay Shoemaker, who excels at creating the intricate uppers and pattern work.

The shop is renowned for its bespoke services, producing custom-made footwear ranging from Roman sandals to special riding boots. A testament to its quality and fame, the shop has served numerous celebrities and dignitaries. A notable claim to fame is the photograph of him taking the late cricketer Sachin Tendulkar’s foot measurement, which often acts as a unique calling card.

Kishan Shoe Maker represents one of the few remaining bastions of traditional, small-scale artisan craft in Mussoorie, offering unique, durable, and personalized footwear that stands in contrast to mass-produced brands.
