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.

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.

Mr. Constantine is an exceptional cobbler, and expert key cutter…read more My dog had helpfully gnawed the back off an expensive pair of shoes, before I had even worn them. I very nearly put them in the bin, as I thought the very sight of them would be a reminder to me of my stupidity in leaving them in the line of fire! On the offchance , I asked Mr Constantine whether all was lost, and he was able to refashion the shoe, wrapping a piece of soft leather over the damaged area , and expertly stitching it all into place. You would never notice anything, and , if anything , the repaired shoe is the more confortable of the pair. The bill was a small fraction of what, in all fairness, it should have been. The lessons probably are twofold. First, we all are probably too quick to dispose of things which could be repaired. Second, this shop is a gem which should be valued and supported .

Family owned and run, a tiny shop nestled between two slihtly bigger shops, easily missed if your not careful. They dont just repair shoes, they will do belts purses, anything leather that need a repair they will look at and tell you if it is possible. They cut keys and engrave, dog tags, trophys, anything you take they will look at. The guys are great and really do try to help you with anything, and there is a distinct smell inside of leater and glue that is somehow reassuring.
