Twice I have shoes re-heeled in this place, having first found it by looking it up and discovering…read moreit was convenient to whatever else I was doing at the time. The repairs were carried out promptly both times while I waited and a good job was made of the heels which had been worn down to the main part of the heel underneath the rubber part or whatever it should be called - anyway they were pretty far gone and I'm quite sure you shouldn't wait that long! With that satisfactorily accomplished I returned another time with other shoes and the repair was just as good, again costing about £5.00, but I haven't had the opportunity to test a more complicated cobbling requirement such as getting a zip mended or heel lowered.

Fast efficient friendly service at its very best…read more Dropped a jacket off here to have a zip fixed and was pleasantly surprised that it would be ready the same day which was a surprise as it looked quite busy on the day I dropped in. Extremely happy with the repair job and the price was really reasonable too. This gem of a repair store is located on Lisburn Road just a short stroll past the Tesco walking away from the city.

Walk in the door, look to your left and there's Timpson. This Timpson is absolute class offering a wide range of services including dry cleaning, key cutting, cobbling and even phone repairs. They offer on the spot key cutting, which is really handy and won't break the bank. The location is excellent with ATM's and on site parking you will be hard pressed to find a better service. The guys working at Timpson know their stuff too and are generally pretty amiable.

Thankfully the city heel bar has remained and is now one of the very few left in the city. It really is surprising how much longer you can make a decent pair of leather shoes last if you re-heel them often enough. The city heel bar is fast and convenient if you work in town and need some shoe repair done as soon as possible. They can, if you ask politely enough, fix or re-heel your shoes while you wait. As well as this they are cheap, and compared to buying a new pair of shoes, it is a steal. They have a key cutting service too.

As we attempt to reduce, reuse and recycle, shoe mending is the only way to go. If you ever need…read moreto get shoes re heeled the Ormeau shop on Sunnyside Street is the place to go. The man who works there is realistic about what he can do with shoes and boots that have been walked into the ground, but if he takes a job on, will always do it to the highest standard. I've handed over embarassing excuses for footwear to him and he has never failed to bring them round for me. They do ask for a small deposit of 'whatever you like' to get shoes re heeled, due apparently to people leaving shoes and not returning for them once the work has been done. New heels cost £3.50, and new soles are about a fiver. And as shoe menders and key cutting seem to go together in shops like peas and carrots, this shop stocks a dazzling array of fun coloured keys, if that's what floats your boat.

Like most units in the Kennedy Centre, this business has suffered with Sainsbury's acquisition of…read morethe grocery and retail unit that was formerly Curley's (Sainsbury's, in my opinion, being notably more expensive than its predecessor - see my review on Sainsbury's and the Kennedy Centre). Of course, the Kennedy Centre now has a Poundland store (whose seemingly inexorable rise and expansion is becoming something of a phenomenon) and a few other big names which, it is hoped, will bring footfall back to its former levels (I don't see that happening). Anyway, I haven't had any shoes repaired - I'm not sure how many people still get shoes repaired, although I know that women getting boots re-heeled is still a steady business - but I was in here to get a key cut. It was costing about £2.80 to get the key cut and, as the guy was cutting the key, I realised we'd be needing a few more keys in the coming months, so I asked him if he'd do four for a tenner, which he did. OK so it wasn't a huge saving, but I like places like that that will give you a bit of discount if you brassneck it. The keys were done in a matter of minutes and I was on my way. They weren't wrong about the 'speedy' bit.

So if I own a pair of shoes and the sole has wore out on them, I'm gonna throw them out, not take them here and have them repaired. But there has been more than one occasion where I manage to completely lose my house keys and need to get a new set cut. The people who work here are always pleasant and very helpful. More importantly, their always cheap. Getting keys cut in Belfast has became an expensive business but here its still very reasonable, a few quid per key. So to save my thrifty bake some pennies, I go here instead of staying local where if I get my key's cut, I'll be able to get into my house, but not stock its fridge or pay the bills. Now that is a magical over exaggeration, but you know what I mean.
