Mästerkattens Skomakeri is defined by a deep dedication to craftsmanship, restoration and long-lasting quality. Located on Storgatan 49 in central Umeå, the workshop has been a steady part of the city’s everyday life for more than 35 years. What began as Ålidhems Skomakeri in 1989 has grown into a trusted destination for those wishing to give new life to shoes, bags, garments and a wide range of leather goods. 

The owner who operates the business is trained at the renowned shoemaking school in Hedenäset, Norrbotten. As the business is built on traditional knowledge, careful workmanship and a genuine respect for the materials being restored. Each repair is carried out with skill and attention to detail, helping valued items remain in use for many years. 

Conveniently located opposite the Plaza Hotel and open Monday to Friday 10–18 and Saturdays 11–15, the workshop is appreciated for its reliability, personal service, and commitment to sustainable repair rather than replacement.
