Fantastic repair to my boots, new soles and heels have made my best boots look like new again.read more

Having gone to a local branch of Timpson's with my Clarks boots for repair, I was told that they…read morecould not be repaired. A friend told me that they always use Jameson Shoe Repairs of Louth, so I thought I would make a special trip to Louth to see if they could do the repair. They were very helpful and knowledgable and soled and heeled my boots within the 3 hours I stayed in town for. I also had my door key cut which was half the price of elsewhere too and worked spot on. Brilliant service, thanks again

Just a nice little store close to the center of Swadlincote, just over the street from my bank…read more(Barclays) and my barber (Sweeney Swad). This little store has been run since 1997 by the same man (only staff) who served me today - basically cutting me a new key (living in a centuries old manor home means you are using "historic" keys - and he can grind them for you. Great, prompt, polite service and very interesting guy to chat to (as I did). I think the main business is the keys and shoe repairs. Strangely much of his limited space is taken up with a gigantic (given the small size of the store) collection of Steiff "button in ear" Teddy Bears. https://www.steiffteddybears.co.uk/more-things-steiff/steiff-button-in-ear.php. Now that is weird - don't you think?? If the shoe repairs are as good and as prompt as the key cutting then you will be happy! He did have a few (VERY few) pairs of shoes. I LOVED the Jeffery West men's shoes https://www.jeffery-west.co.uk/ - the coolest that I have EVER seen for sure - see pics of the soles - the tops are equally awesome in terms of style, quality and more (shiny black leather, bright red laces an stitching - NICE!!!!

After visiting several "major" high street cobblers trying to find somebody who could put Doc…read moreMartens soles onto a pair of shoes originally with leather soles and heels and despairing to hear time after time " never heard of that" ; never been asked that before" ; "can't be done": I found a true master crafstman. The Sherwood Cobbler not only provided Doc Marten soles onto my shoes but made them look as if they had been originally created that way. My pair of Delicious Junction Rude Boys look fantastic. Now I know why he is a Member of Master Craft Men. P.s the price was actually cheaper than one of the high street cobblers quotes for replacement leather soles and heels so...fantastic service, does the impossible and at reasonable prices. What more could you ask and want for?

Great service and the price well within budget. The look on the grandparents face was made even more worthwhile. So impressed I've been back in this week to order a new door sign. Thank you

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.
