A friendly and warm welcome. I wanted some extra holes added to a belt and they did it there and then - for Free. Very much appreciated. Won't hesitate to use again. read more

I asked for extra holes on two belts, they kindly did this for free.... My wife and I have used Clifton Cobbler before many times for resole/heel of old shoes, and putting non-slip soles onto new shoes for protection (transforms the safety on slippery surfaces). Always a first-class job done. read more

I have always found that those at the more wealthy end of the spectrum have always clung on to the past a little stronger than the rest; clinging on to the more traditional ways. In the heart of Clifton Village the snappily named Clifton Cobbler does just exactly as it says on the tin. Now the main trade is obviously the repairing of shoes and other such leather goods but the other usual suspects are obviously thrown in too; key cutting, engraving etc. The real reason I come here though (isn't the bin outside for old shoes - although I do think that's a cool idea) is for the smell. The smell of traditional metal and leather workers - you can't fake it. If you don't know what I mean then that's reason enough to visit. read more

Clifton Cobbler - Shoe Repair Near Me - Bristol, BST

I have just had my leather brogues resoled today, having been told by another cobbler that this was not possible because they had been resoled too many times before. The chaps in Clifton Cobblers confirmed that they could resole my shoes. Although happy to let them try (as I was going to buy a new pair anyway), I was very sceptical about whether they would be successful. Not only was the service first class, it was incredibly quick and the end result was fantastic. Very happy to have an old faithful pair of shoes back in circulation and will definitely use Clifton Cobbler again for all my future needs. Extremely happy customer - couldn't recommend highly enough. read more

I took a bag with sentimental value here that I did not think could be fixed - and they did! Really pleased with the result and it was cheap as chips. I'm a happy customer :) read more

What a load of cobblers Very disappointed to have purchased a tankard from this shop, was told at the time that engraving would be very low cost and then charged 50 pence per letter. read more

Old skool key cutting in Clifton village. There's something about the smell of key cutting shops that makes me feel really unwell - however, that's its only drawback which is nothing personal to the place. Nice staff, good service and decent prices for alterations (they also fix shoes) and key cutting, depending on your key, in the region of £3/£4 which is reasonable these days. There's a cool little model of a man hammering some shoes in the window - it's quaint, have a look even if you walk past. read more

I have walked past Clifton Cobbler so many times and always thought that it looked like a nice little local shop, which I am always very happy to help support. But when the time came and I actually needed to go in, I was less than impressed. After washing my shoes and leaving the tumble drier setting on, I had melted the rubber edge around the sole of the shoe. I went in to see if they could glue it back on for me and said I wasnt too fussy about how it looked, as long as it wasn't going to be more than £15 - 20 (otherwise, I'd just by new shoes). The guy looked at the shoes for about 5 seconds and straight away just gave up and said "nope, not worth it - they're gone". Pretty annoyed really. It just felt like he couldn't give a crap about it and couldn't be bothered to acctually do the work. The shoes are not busted at all. In the end I bought some strong shoe glue for £6 and did it myself. They look fine and work as shoes again. I just figured I would try getting a proffesionals help first at Clifton Cobbler. In my opinion, I'd avoid it for the lazy attitude the guy had. There is a much better shoe repair place is St Nicks market anyway! Clifton Cobblers? - More like, Clifton Cantbebothered...llers.... or something. read more
