They always do a wonderful job and I always walk away happy with the job they have done. They're located in the Meadowbank mall, closest to Gerard Way. There is plenty of free parking outside the store and around the shopping mall vicinity. If you're after a reliable cobbler for engraving, trophies, key cutting,shoe repair or other services, then come to Alex The Cobbler, he wont let you down.

Kellers Shoes has been in the bay since before I can even remember. When I was younger, it was…read morealways a go-to whenever I needed school shoes as they often offer discount to some schools for 10% discount. If I ever visit with my mum I always find that the sales assistants are very obliging and always willing to give customers alternative options to a shoe they've picked up that might not fit or look right. Their range of unique imported shoes in my opinion cater to the older clientele that frequents St Heliers, so unfortunately I don't really find much that appeals to me. However as far as old lady shoes go, they are pretty funky, stylish and comfortable and at a very reasonable mid-price point.

Second Debut has long been a great preloved clothing shop, and happily it was recently taken over…read moreby the very lovely Mary and Harriet, who have given it a new boost of energy. You have to come here next time you're in this part of town. I'd say it's even worth a special trip if you're serious about your preloved clothes shopping, or if you want to have some clothes sold on commission for you. Second Debut focuses on the mid to upper end of preloved clothes - its not all very high end, but you won't find cheap clothes in here. It's more like quality over quantity here. The new owners alos seem to have brought more of a fashion focus to the shop, which is great. Aside from women's clothing, they have a well-edited range of handbags, jewellery, and shoes. I never walk out empty handed!

Ladies, grab your men's wallets, and head on in and treat yourself to a new handbag while getting your heels repaired.

A good place to get your shoes fixed and your keys cut, but that's about it. I know a lot of people…read morewho really like this place but I find after one visit, there's no need to go back really. They've got a range of stock like handbags and wallets, but not really my taste. I have had my shoes repaired here though and they did do a really good job, so I would use these guys for that reason. But I wouldn't go there just to look at the stock.It is in a handy location if you live around the area.

What I appreciate about Strandbags, as they not only do sales on a regular basis, but they have a variety of different purses, bags and suitcases that suit anyone's pocket book. I bought a purse here at the Sylvia Park branch quite a number of years ago, and it's still in really good condition. (under $25) I always pop in to check out their sales when I'm buying for someone's birthday, and the shop assistants are generally very chirpy and helpful.
