Cobbler's Key is an often forgotten little cobblers/locksmiths on busy South Clerk St…read more Most people go to Timpsons nowadays, the chain store that has really cornered the market on key cutting and shoe repair- an ever necessary business. The truth is that the quality, as far as new keys are concerned, with professionals at local stores like this, if often far better. At least that is my experience. Cobbler's Key also offer watch battery replacement, patching and stitching of clothes as well as providing a range of leather goods. They also do gardening tool sharpening! Although I can't imagine there is a huge demand for that around here.

What a gem. I am SO happy we have this shop on Byres Road. Jim, the owner, is a bit of a legend…read more He is an artist and a real craftsman. I wandered in in looking to get my beloved shoes re-heeled. He said it would take about 20 minutes and would cost £9. I suppose that is relatively steep for some people, but considering that I love these shoes and I can finally wear them again AND the real TLC he gives the shoes - polish, shine the whole shebang, I was more than happy to pay! He did a stellar job, is incredibly friendly and chatty and has a good sense of humour. He showed me pictures of some of the repairs he's done, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the state of the shoes that some people bring in. Anything from Doc Martins to Jimmy Choo's (they were ghastly, I was shocked!), he managed to make everything look brand new, no matter how little leather was left. This would probably also be the place to come to get keys cut, glass engravings, belt notch making. I have yet to require any of these services, however, I know where I'll be going when the time comes. I am super happy with the service in this place, and can only recommend Jim and craftsmanship! The one thing you should know is that it is cash only.

The gentleman in this shop is so nice, and efficient! I ruined a heel on one of my boots the night…read morebefore; he had my boots looking spiffy in 20min. He even shined up the leather too! And the best part, two repaired heels for £8! I highly recommend this shop. If you need keys cut, shoes repaired, passports photos, or even leather work this is the place.

Don't really post reviews about services/products but decided I really needed to about this…read moreservice. I'd been looking for a local cobbler for some time, I'm kinda old school, buy decent shoes and look after them with requisite re-heeling/soling when required. The larger/chain type cobblers seem to charge a fortune and the service is never that great. At Roseburn the service is excellent, the pricing very reasonable and the customer interface excellent. This is good old fashioned customer service at a fair price and as such they have guaranteed my lifetime customer loyalty! I can recommend without hesitation.....

I've come to Roseburn Shoe repairs a couple of times to have keys cut. Each time I have come the…read moreservice has been above satisfactory. It's lovely every time you find something a shoe repairs and locksmiths shop surviving independently in the big city. As you might expect they know their stuff. The shop has a fantastic smell that greets you when you enter. Shoes of all varieties rest on the shelves right around the back of the shop. It has atmosphere! The staff are friendly and were honest with change when I gave them a couple of pounds too much by accident. Prices are fair, even compared to the likes of Timpson. I think it's worth going out of your way to support shops like these, even if it means travelling a little further. Recommended!

Edinburgh and its cobbled streets! My heel on one of my favourite pairs of boots was about to go,…read moreand all my local shoe repair shops didn't seem to have the right equipment to fix it ( I had no idea a simple heal repair could be so hard). Eventually, one shop pointed me to Timpsons. This shop saved me! Next day it was fixed and good as new and at a great price too! However, their key cutting is somewhat questionable, as my flatmates new keys from this shop broke only 3 weeks afterwards. So, as far as show repair is concerned, I would most definitely head to this shop, the guy is friendly and chatty and my shoe is still intact.

This is basically just a Timpson's shop, with all the usual services but I'm writing this review…read morepurely on the basis that Graham the branch manager here is absolutely great! I've been here a couple of times to get shoes re-heeled and maybe it's the fact that it is quite a traditional trade but you sort of feel like you're getting the kind of service your grandparents bemoan the lack of on this day and age. He always gives you some good chat and clearly has good relationship with all his customers and staff and when you're in there everyones in on the joke!
