Perera Shoemaker

Perera are simply incredible. The process of fitting and choosing colors/details was super easy. They made custom boots for me, and when they arrived 6 weeks later I was blown away by the quality of craftsmanship, the materials, and the fit, which were all superb. Cannot recommend Perera highly enough!

We were welcomed so warmly, not just by the staff, but by the beautiful ambiance of the interior with warm woods and leather. The experience of getting my feet measured and the freedom to choose my own leather and accent colors felt really special and individualized. Javier is passionate about his craft and you see that reflected in the quality of his boots. He also taught us a great deal about the history of shoe making and leather for the culture of Guatemala. His English is incredible as well so that was helpful as an American tourist. I am so excited for my boots to arrive!

Finest footwear I have purchased. Not the most expensive, just the best craftsmanship and attention to detail I have had the pleasure to wear on my feet. I love the way these boots feel AND look. Usually it’s one or the other. I should have bought a matching belt, but I will order one. If you are in Antigua, try to get a tour. Their shoes and boots are hand made by master cobblers. I met one. These were an investment with a return that makes me smile every time I wear them. No buyers remorse, and I was excited to receive them from FedEx. Took about a month, and they have been getting noticed ever since.

This is a hidden gem located in the heart of Antigua Guatemala. If you are in the market for a personalized pair of shoes, this Perera Shoemaker is the place to go! The whole experience from getting meassure, chosing the shoes' styles, and having them delivered at home has been an incredible experience. The quality of the shoes is over the top. The presentation of the final results, impecable!

The store is located in the charming town of Antigua, close to the Sta. Catalina Arch. Sandra and Ana took care of every detail on my order, they show you the leathers, soles, colors and the service was top notch. The craftsmanship of the shoes is truly amazing and handmade by local master artisans. I would recommend these shoes 100%

I discovered this store during a trip and was really impressed by the stylish and high-quality shoes. Later, I ordered a pair from Mexico as a birthday gift for my husband — everything was delivered quickly and the quality is excellent. We’re very happy with the purchase. Thank you for your great work!

Had been stopping by this shop in Antigua for years waiting for them to have woman’s shoes and finally found them in September. Ordered 2 pair of amazing sandals and they finally arrived!!! Fit perfectly and so comfortable and well made. A tremendous experience!!

Purchased my first pair today. Excellent service and attention to detail. Well made shoes, i an excited to receive my boots in a few weeks time. update: 2025 i ordered my second pair and they are exactly what i expected, comfort and excellent craftsmanship. highly recommend

Great experience, took a few weeks for the custom shoes to arrive in NYC but well worth the wait! Highly recommend.

From the fitting to the boots build quality, the BEST! They look gorgeous and fit so well. It was a pleasure meeting Javier and hearing the story behind Perera Shoes.
