Shoemaker in Hoi An

Ive seen lots of threads / discussions on tailoring but does anyone have any unbiased/ unsolicited recommendations for a great but reasonable shoe maker in Hoi An?

Look forward to your posts.

I will say you have to be very specific about what you want. I paid extra for leather linning in my boots and got fabric. They were delivered to the hotel 1/2 hr before we left town, so no time to argue. It wasn't that much monety any ways. One of my pairs of sandles fell apart after 3 wearings, but i had a cobbler here glue it, at about 1/2 the cost of the shoes. I do love my boots though.

Before we went, I asked about the tailoring in HoiAn, and several regular posters said that while getting clothes/shoes made is fun, the quality just isn't there.
