Same result with my wife's boots as well. If you have a pair of shoes that you really like but have gone pear shape, make an effort, go to Kingston and give it Tom. He's right there in the station.

Gasniers hasn't changed much over the years, they've been in Shirley for years although only changed location when the new Sainsburys was built. The staff are not particularly friendly or welcoming. We popped in at Christmas to buy a shopping trolley and didn't receive much assistance at all. One lady can be blunt to the point of rudeness. They are usually fast to serve however and I've never really found a fault with their shoe repairs.

Went to Kim's to get a shirt tailored for my wedding and upon walking in, it's quite a small place…read morebut obviously busy judging by the clothes hanging up. Kim was only available after 1400 to measure me up for the alteration. It was a short and sweet measure with a delay of one week for the finished product. Whilst I was getting dressed, Kim said that it would be £30!! £30 in my mind is a crazy price! Who gets off charging that much? And then a small thing which added to the annoyance was a 35p charge for using the card machine! After all this, the work was done well and I am happy with the shirt. If you're happy paying these sorts of prices then it's decent work you'll get.
