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.

A genuine old style cobblers, that can still hand stich shoes, they stick them to, but where…read morenecessary they will stich. I think thats great in this day and age. 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.

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.

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.

The Village Cobbler is one of these shops that offers dead useful service like shoe repair, key…read morecutting, engraving and other services you thought you'd never really need. What's more, this is a business that's always going to be needed by people, so the service is great, friendly and efficient.

In between times, I received a phone call on the Friday morning to discuss repair options. All very reassuring and most helpful.

Shoerenew. What can I say, it does exactly what it says on the tin…read more I have a pair of boots. Love them and the heels last year were decidedly worn (I'm flat footed). Last week I noticed my right foot was a bit damp so thought that's it. Off to the cobblers I go. Shoerenew in Horsforth is not a place you go willingly. They mend shoes and you'd rather have a pair of new shoes or boots but I do love these boots and times are hard. The chap in there really knows his stuff. I've been to him many times before. My boots (that I love) were really neglected but he really does have the Midas touch. He re-heeled them and put me a new sole all for under £20! My favourite boots are wonderful again and I can't wait to wear them tomorrow (and I hope it rains!). Well done Shoerenew man. You're worth your weight in gold.

It was a pleasure to nip in here the other day with my Mum. I'd not planned to pop in, but she saw…read morethe shoe sign and made a bee-line for the door. Before I knew it we were discussing the ins and outs of suede and leather care with the lovely chap inside. He explained that for leathers it was a simple case of protecting with polish, but suede on the other hand was another issue. He in fact said he could end up selling us fifty pounds worth of care products, all of which we'd use fully, just to protect our shoes. So, an expensive thing to look after it seems! Nonetheless we simply made a purchase of some hardy looking suede protector spray and ended up having a lovely bit of banter in the meantime. As I looked around at the array of different items this place has on sale I was reminded just what a jack of all trades this cute little shop is. Need some make up? Plenty of cheap basket items check. Need a keyring? Check. Shoe care items? Check. And so on. A really handy shop with a lovely bloke to help you out!
