    Col's Cobble Shoppe is an Auckland institution. Located on Dominion Road and having first opened in the 1970s, Col's spans across three generations and is known by most of central Auckland as the one stop place to go for all your shoe needs. Though brilliant at shoe repairs, Col's offers more than just this service. As a real cobbler, Col's has a small range of their own footwear available, besides every accessory imaginable to spruce up your existing footwear. Col's has also been known to undertake special projects such as repairing guitar straps, putting new buckles and domes on bags, and even reshaping shoes. In my youth I was a competitive Irish dancer, and Col's Cobble Shoppe was one of the few places in town that understood the requirements for my hard shoes. He re-fiberglassed the toe on numerous occasions, as well as re-soling my soft shoes and repairing their insoles. This service saved my life, and my feet! Col's is open six days a week and with on-street parking available, there really is no excuse for putting up with broken or uncomfortable footwear. Get your shit together and save your feet the aggravation! Bonus: As an independent family owned company, you feel like you are doing your bit to support local business when you shop at Col's.

    Have a habit of buying shoes second hand and if there are any issues can always count on Cols. Great prices for uni student on a budget:)

    Those old Doc Martins you bought when you were 17, oh how they were torture when you first wore…read morethem, but you persevered, and as the months went by they became perfectly contoured to your feet, you loved those boots. In fact they are still sitting in the back of your wardrobe, soles splitting from the leather, completely water vulnerable, completely useless......yet.......you cannot bare to throw them away, as if the memories you made when you were wearing them would also end up in the trash can. Fix them you sentimental idiot! Dr Shoe is a reasonably priced shoe fixing wiz. Nice guy who does a good job. He also cuts keys. Why do shoe repair guys and locksmiths always go together? Seems strange.

    The best shoe doctor in central Auckland!…read more The staff at Dr. Shoe are brilliant. Unlike a lot of repairmen, these guys are really honest about whether they actually can repair your shoes - they won't just say they can and then let the job be done badly. If a repair is possible, Dr. Shoe will ensure it is done to a high standard. Not only will your shoes be repaired well, but they will also be returned to you all buffed and lovely. Dr. Shoe takes the extra time to give your shoes a bit of a pamper and ensure they are properly waterproofed and ready to be worn. As someone with a lot of suede shoes, this is a huge bonus and definitely makes me trust Dr. Shoe and its staff. Dr. Shoe also cut keys and can dye shoes, as well as selling inners, suede brushes and sprays, shoelaces and all other shoe related products. Situated in Canterbury Arcade off Queen Street, Dr. Shoe is easy to find and definitely worth remembering!

    I had to give him 1 star as the system won't let me give ZERO out of FIVE. Does not stand by his…read morework!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had a key cut but the blank he used was too thick for my lock. He would not believe me even though I showed him the difference in thickness between the original key and the one he cut for me. He charged me for another key which he said would fit. NOW I HAVE 2 KEYS WHICH DON'T FIT!!!! Serves me right for trusting him. It is not worth my time and gas to go through this again. Poor workmanship and terrible service. FYI - I am Asian in case anyone thinks this might be race related.

    Royal Oak Shoe Repairs and Keys is fantastic! Located in the Royal Oak shopping mall (on the…read moreMcDonalds side), there is plenty of onsite parking available. Mum and I have come here a number of times to get our shoes repaired. They always do a wonderful job and best of all its cheap! There are so many shoe repair stores that rip you off!! The only down fall I have with this place is that it isn't located conveniently to me. As it's in a direction I never go in, sometimes it's easier to go elsewhere due to convenience. However when I needed to get two pair of boots fixed, I made the journey to come here as I knew I wasn't going to be charged an arm and a leg, also I would be happy with the result. If you have the time to drive to Royal Oak to drop your boots in, I would totally recommend coming to Royal Oak Shoe Repairs & Keys. You won't be disappointed.
