Mark Rogers is a small shop right in the heart of Wilmslow that does key cutting and stuff. You…read moreknow the kind of place - you can get shoes repaired there, you know? Weird, because I have never once in my existence considered getting some shoes repaired, but then I've never really owned anything apart from trainers and you surely can't repair those can you? Fair play to Mark Rogers, it's a good old local business competing with the more chain-style equivalent Timpson down the road, and local businesses are always worth supporting.

Great guy and great work. Knows what he is doing and extremely nice and helpful. I had a small 5…read moresecond repair that needed doing. Offered to do it for free. What a guy.

Fantastic repair to my boots, new soles and heels have made my best boots look like new again.read more

Having gone to a local branch of Timpson's with my Clarks boots for repair, I was told that they…read morecould not be repaired. A friend told me that they always use Jameson Shoe Repairs of Louth, so I thought I would make a special trip to Louth to see if they could do the repair. They were very helpful and knowledgable and soled and heeled my boots within the 3 hours I stayed in town for. I also had my door key cut which was half the price of elsewhere too and worked spot on. Brilliant service, thanks again

I've been back several times now, to bring new life to old shoes, and I have to say that these…read morechaps are fantastic. En route to town, I dropped in my solid favourite heels to be fixed up, and was greeted by the ever friendly and welcoming guys that man the shop. I'm sure one of them must be Steve, and one day I might venture to ask which one, but on this occasion I wasn't so brave as to make introductions. It costs just over a fiver to get re-heeling done, and I've never been in without being able to collect the shoes about 30 minutes later. Basically, it gives you enough time to pop off for a coffee, take in the world, and pop back again before going about your day. Of course, if you need keys cut, and the various other cobbler odd jobs, they're ready to provide good service for that too. They're always smiling, they're cheap and cheerful, they're fantastic and I've them to thank for not having to buy new shoes. It's always a pleasure. Cash only, but as Hannah says, there's a cash machine right next door!

Steve's is probably the most traditional business in the whole of Headingley - amidst a sea of…read morestudent pubs, bars and modern delis, it stands proud, providing ye olde cobbling and keycutting services for anyone who so desires. The keycutting services are as fast as they are cheap (very) and on the two occasions I've needed a key cut here, I've had no problems with the finished product working in my doors. Can't say I've ever needed to have a shoe cobbled though. I'm a firm believer in the if-a-shoe's-broke-bin-it school of thought, so I can't comment on Steve's shoe skills, but I'd wager they're as professional as his key-cutting skills are.

I stumbled across (excuse the pun) Shoetech! when passing through the Merrion Centre purely by…read morechance. A pair of tall boots bought for my girlfriend as a Christmas present were a little too tall for her diminutive frame and so I was looking to get around half an inch taken off the top. The shoemaker in question was quick to point out it was not an easy job, as they are machined leather throughout, but he would give it his best shot. However the resulting job was perfect, exactly as requested and very well finished and stitched. The price was only £15 and they were back within two days. I think the exclamation mark in their name is warranted after all.

The chap here did a great job v good quality - and was almost half the price. I dont know how it compares to Timsons but I would guess its half the price they charge

You know that we all have different thresholds for high heels that are falling apart. Well mine…read moregoes pretty far. As long as my feet don't touch the ground and if I love the pair I will keep on wearing them (and there are even exceptions to this - so what if there's a hole in my favourite flats, I have tights on etc etc). The Village Cobbler is what you need when your black Zara peep toes are too bad for words, and you've already tried cellotaping them back together ... and you've got to get the train back to uni tomorrow. Oh, and could you just do them now? Thankyou thankyou thankyou. Obviously under normal circumstances there is a queue- a couple of days is usual. They cut keys here as well and sell all sorts of useful things like luggage etc. The only thing to defeat them was a small satchel bag that I completely murdered: my sister thought that she could salvage it (and thus take ownership of the poor thing). Alas, they needed the spring which I had carelessly dropped somewhere. Lesson learned. They are not miracle workers but they can fix and engrave most things.

The Sherwood Cobbler not only provided Doc Marten soles onto my shoes but made them look as if they had been originally created that way. My pair of Delicious Junction Rude Boys look fantastic. Now I know why he is a Member of Master Craft Men. P.s the price was actually cheaper than one of the high street cobblers quotes for replacement leather soles and heels so...fantastic service, does the impossible and at reasonable prices. What more could you ask and want for?
