So, I have been saving up many pairs of shoes to re-heel all at once and decided to revisit Bob's…read moreto get them all done at once. I nipped in to Chapel A and went on in, explaining that three needed re-heeling and my boots desperately needed some kind of rubber bottom to the heel as the plastic was proving lethal in the wet weather. (Yes, summer seems to be officially over in Leeds with nary an hour of decent sunlight in the last week or so... ) The chap asked if I wanted them doing today, which I did, so he said he needn't bother with a ticket. Since I was getting four pairs done at once he decided to do all four for for only £20, where usually the individual pairs are a £6.50, which I thought was marvellous! I handed him my bundle of shoes and spent a lovely hour or so mooching in Chapel A and enjoying a coffee at Zed before heading back to see how he'd done. He showed me my newly re-heeled shoes and all three pairs seemed as good as new, it still amazes me what a new lease of life simply re-heeling can do for my favourite pairs of shoes, and he'd even polished up my boots with their new safety-friendly rubber heel. Couldn't be happier with the service, lovely staff and great work. Win!

En route to town, I dropped in my solid favourite heels to be fixed up, and was greeted by the ever friendly and welcoming guys that man the shop. I'm sure one of them must be Steve, and one day I might venture to ask which one, but on this occasion I wasn't so brave as to make introductions. It costs just over a fiver to get re-heeling done, and I've never been in without being able to collect the shoes about 30 minutes later. Basically, it gives you enough time to pop off for a coffee, take in the world, and pop back again before going about your day. Of course, if you need keys cut, and the various other cobbler odd jobs, they're ready to provide good service for that too. They're always smiling, they're cheap and cheerful, they're fantastic and I've them to thank for not having to buy new shoes. It's always a pleasure. Cash only, but as Hannah says, there's a cash machine right next door!

The keycutting services are as fast as they are cheap (very) and on the two occasions I've needed a key cut here, I've had no problems with the finished product working in my doors. Can't say I've ever needed to have a shoe cobbled though. I'm a firm believer in the if-a-shoe's-broke-bin-it school of thought, so I can't comment on Steve's shoe skills, but I'd wager they're as professional as his key-cutting skills are.

Timpson is admittedly a big chain which means that if you go and get something useful there done you are inevitably supporting the man, but these shops are so ridiculously useful that it's hard not to be a fan.
