Most shops I've came across rejected working on it as the toe shape can be challenging to work around. Nathan did a fantastic job on my pair, with only about a 2-3 day turn around time! The price was very affordable. The quick turn around time, great customer service, and excellent craftsmanship means I'll be coming back in the future.

Jim Saad is just such a man. His little shop is just across from the ticket window inside Milsons Point Station and has been there for over 50 years (there are newspaper articles on him, he's part of the furniture). He's a good, kindhearted man who started off from nothing and he does a hell of a job on your shoes, he really knows his leather. I've got some boots in with him for resoling at the moment, when I dropped them off there were a pair of girl's boots on the counter and I could see him stroking the old leather appreciatively with his thick, dubbin-stained fingers. He's worked six days a week since arriving in Australia from Beirut, and from now on I'm a one-cobbler man.

The feeling of warily handing over your favourite pair of shoes to a cobbler, with fear of not…read moreknowing what will happen to the shoes - I'm sure everyone has experienced this. I entrusted my absolute all-time favourite pair of Valentino Rockstuds to Michael, AKA The Ultimate Cobbler, to get Topy soles and the pointy tips re-built. I was absolutely AMAZED by his work!!! Michael is a shoe-maker, turned cobbler, for many years. His wealth of knowledge and experience is plainly obvious upon speaking with him. I had originally picked a sole colour that I thought would go with the shoe, and luckily Michael voiced his strong opinion for another sole colour, and explained at length and demonstrated how each sole would turn out like. I picked up my shoes a week later and am pleased to report that I am now - happily rocking my Rockstuds!

If you have a pair of shoes that need a new life then this is the place to take them. I usually take my new shoes here to get a sole which is always done with such precision. I also have a pair of boots which have been rescued more than a couple times by these guys meaning I've got now three winters instead of one out of them. Their craft isn't necessarily limited to shoes either - I had a tired leather bag that I got dyed which brought it back to life for another season. The service is always friendly here - they'll go out of their way to try and do something to a specific time frame if you need it. Overall it is a pleasure to do business with these guys - I highly recommend them.

Shoe lovers, shoe lovers everywhere. Come join me for this…read morespecial fair It's a shoe addicts dream It's a boyfriend's bore As once you enter You'll just want more More, more! So many of us love shoes. Carrie Bradshaw opened up the 'permits for all' on the right to have endless numbers of shoes in a girl's wardrobe. Zomp is the kind of shoe shop where I want to try on at LEAST ten shoes minimum. There's cutesy baby doll, there's cowboy boots, there's wedge, stiletto, strappy and sneaker, there's funky street, star prints and leopard prints, floral and kitsch. You name it, there's a style in there for you. But it's not just the variety I love it's that most of the shoes feel like they've got character... just that little bit of edge that other shoe shops might only have with only one or two shoes. I bought a $200+ pair of Hudson boots from here recently. They are gorgeous and they were on sale which of course was a bonus. Within 1 month unfortunately the sole started to unpeel. I was wearing them incessantly but it was a bit of drag to have to go back to the shop for a fix. The Zomp girls were more than happy to organize a shoe repair on them however I did have to pay extra if I wanted a thicker sole put on them - which I did of course. It was a shame to loose the cute penny farthing imprint on the sole. But now I can stomp these Zomp boots for a very merry long time. The Zomp Footwear for kids next door is a shoe shop filled with gorgeous teeny tot shoes. It's worth a mention for parents as it's a great excuse when the kids need new shoes to pop next door for your own sweet toe treat. One Saturday I was walking past and there were kids selling cup cakes outside. Nice touch.

Having said this I did purchase a pair of 4 inch stilettos from Zomp recently - mostly to see if I could actually walk and not look like a man in drag but also because I'm having an early midlife crisis. Zomp has shoes for all. If you get around on Zebra print brogues, pink ballet pumps, nude wedges or Gladiator sandals - all are found here and more. Staff are available without being intrusive and there are good discounts thanks to the GFC. A one-stop clodhopper shop.
