About Us

ShoeBeeDo is a working leather shop in Concord, NC where Cindy designs and makes shoes and bags by hand, with a focus on comfort, durability, and pieces that truly last.

  • Our History

    Cindy Sheppard is the artist behind ShoeBeeDo in Concord, North Carolina. She started the business in 2005, working out of her home before moving into a brick and mortar shop in 2016.

    After high school, Cindy apprenticed at a local shoe repair shop, where she learned the craft hands-on. While repairing shoes and bags, she paid close attention to how they wore over time, noticing what lasted and what didn’t.

    That experience still shapes her work today.

  • Quality Craftmanship

    Cindy builds each piece with real use in mind. After years of repairing shoes and bags, she knows where things tend to wear out and reinforces those areas from the start.

    Leather is chosen for how it feels and how it will age, and hardware is selected to work the way it should. The focus is on making pieces that fit well, function well, and hold up over time.
