Walked in and there was a miserable looking guy and a his even more miserable, I assume, girlfriend. Can i have a name plate? i enquired. Naw ye canny till monday said Mr. Miserable.

Discovered a hole in my motorcycle boots. I did NOT like the idea of forking out £300 for a…read morereplacement pair at short notice, and neither did i enjoy the squelching of wet socks and feet in my boots. I did some research on the internet and came across Tip Top Shoe repairs in Mount Florida. Headed over yesterday, explained my problem and Jim suggested a rubber sole and heel to be put onto both boots. I left them with him, walked out in my socks (nice sunny day and getting odd looks from folks) to a cafe round the corner for breakfast. Had just finished my breakfast and Jim called to say they were ready. To be frank, i did not know what to expect and i was pleasantly surprised to see the heavily worn down sole replaced with a rubber half sole and new rubber heels. and the price was...... £20 for the pair! Jim's skills saved me a packet, my feet are dry and if the glue holds up i'm expecting to get another couple of years riding out of them. The other option i was exploring was buying some shoe goo on amazon and doing a DIY patch job.... the cost of the shoe goo was 14 delivered and i would have made mince meat of trying to creating a smooth finish, with the expectation of replacing the boots soon after. Jim is a very easy guy to talk to, he explores all the options with you and despite the fact that he was busy with other orders he understood my predicament of not having spare shoes to walk about in and prioritised my boots. I can't thank him enough and my advice to bikers in Glasgow is..... check your boots and if the soles are worn down then go see Jim and get new soles BEFORE you get holes in them. You will be keeping a traditional local business alive and your wallet will thank you. My previous disappointing experience with Timpson's a few years ago and their prices of £59 for resoles saved me a potential headache. I am certain you will not find better service, quality of work and rates anywhere else this side of Glasgow. one well chuffed, dry footed biker

I popped, nay limped, in here to grab a pair of heel grips for a pair of boots. Quick as you like,…read moreI'd been given a pair and handed over my money while chatting away. Sneaky man that he was though, was trying to find out what my heel grips were for! Next thing I know, he's handing me back my money and getting me to take my boots off in the middle of the shop so he can have a look at what was bothering me. Nope, heel grips weren't the answer... He explained what was causing my discomfort (complete with drawing me a diagram) and suggested putting an insert in to see if that helped. He's given me something temporary so I've to try them out and see if they work and go back to him after a few days then he'll either work out something else for me or take out the temporary ones and fix them permanently into the boots. With my boots back on, I asked how much I owed him - not a thing! Absolutely amazing service. *skips off happily...*

A one stop shop for all your pesty repairs, key cutting and the like. This is a tiny shop situated…read moreon Clarkston Road, closer to the Cathcart end than the Clarkston end. It's bright blue shop front makes it easy to spot and really makes an impact on this main road. The shop sign itself states very clearly what this business provides - though, does not so clearly make the business name known. For this reason, I've ingeniously named/nicknamed it Watch Repairs Etc. This is due to watch repairs being the first service listed on the sign, hence (possibly) their primary service and/or area of business. However, they also dabble in key cutting, shoe repairs and engraving. So this is an excellent all rounder of a shop. They are also, to my knowledge, not listed in any other websites or directory papers etc. Thus, they remain something of a little known secret. This is perhaps why they are usually fairly quiet (hence service is quick, efficient and to a high standard), reasonably priced and take the extra time to provide quality customer service. All of which are pleasant surprises and something of a dying bred in the retail world.

Although, do keep in mind that Saturdays are their busiest days and hence, some services can take longer depending on local demand. The staff are very friendly, helpful and honest about how well the repair can be expected to be. For instance, there are no false promises if you have left something for too long to repair. They also stock a wide range of shoe and key paraphernalia as well as zippo lighters and the like.
