Discovered a hole in my motorcycle boots. I did NOT like the idea of forking out £300 for a…read morereplacement pair at short notice, and neither did i enjoy the squelching of wet socks and feet in my boots. I did some research on the internet and came across Tip Top Shoe repairs in Mount Florida. Headed over yesterday, explained my problem and Jim suggested a rubber sole and heel to be put onto both boots. I left them with him, walked out in my socks (nice sunny day and getting odd looks from folks) to a cafe round the corner for breakfast. Had just finished my breakfast and Jim called to say they were ready. To be frank, i did not know what to expect and i was pleasantly surprised to see the heavily worn down sole replaced with a rubber half sole and new rubber heels. and the price was...... £20 for the pair! Jim's skills saved me a packet, my feet are dry and if the glue holds up i'm expecting to get another couple of years riding out of them. The other option i was exploring was buying some shoe goo on amazon and doing a DIY patch job.... the cost of the shoe goo was 14 delivered and i would have made mince meat of trying to creating a smooth finish, with the expectation of replacing the boots soon after. Jim is a very easy guy to talk to, he explores all the options with you and despite the fact that he was busy with other orders he understood my predicament of not having spare shoes to walk about in and prioritised my boots. I can't thank him enough and my advice to bikers in Glasgow is..... check your boots and if the soles are worn down then go see Jim and get new soles BEFORE you get holes in them. You will be keeping a traditional local business alive and your wallet will thank you. My previous disappointing experience with Timpson's a few years ago and their prices of £59 for resoles saved me a potential headache. I am certain you will not find better service, quality of work and rates anywhere else this side of Glasgow. one well chuffed, dry footed biker

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.

I discovered Hutton's completely by accident when taking a new route home one day (I like to mix it…read moreup, I keep finding shops that I never knew existed). It's very near my flat so I filed it away in the 'useful' category of my brain for any future shoe emergencies. As it happens, I had two pairs of boots that were in desperate need of being rehealed, so, shortly before a winter break, I took them in to get repaired. No problem, but due to the time of year (December, busy) they wouldn't be ready until the following Tuesday. Absolutely fine. Of course I then failed to go in a collect them on the Tuesday, and so left it utterly last minute thinking I'd just pick them up on the Wednesday morning on my way in to work (suitcase in tow as I was flying out that afternoon). Fail. Hutton's was shut for their own holiday. And to be fair to them, as soon as I saw the signs saying "Shut Wednesday 2nd - Monday 7th" I realised they had been up the previous week, I'd read the signs and then immediately forgotten about them. This left my in a shoe dilemma, as I'd gone out wearing wellies, and required an emergency purchase from the ever-reliable New Look. When I did manage to go in and collect the shoes, they'd done a great job. The cost of getting two pairs of boots rehealed was just over £16. I have no idea of how expensive or otherwise this is, but it seemed fair. The heals are flat, which is something other cobblers have failed at (why would I want convex heals?!), so they get an immediate thumbs up for that and will earn my repeat custom.

It's an independent family owned shop which has been in business for close to a century now. I'm from the area and asked older folk and they said it had been run by the Hutton family since as long as they could remember. After some further research online, it turns out it was opened in 1923 by the grandfather of the current master cobbler, Ian Hutton. Not just a cobblers, they also cuts keys and other jobs like that. Highly recommended. Support local businesses.

I popped, nay limped, in here to grab a pair of heel grips for a pair of boots. Quick as you like,…read moreI'd been given a pair and handed over my money while chatting away. Sneaky man that he was though, was trying to find out what my heel grips were for! Next thing I know, he's handing me back my money and getting me to take my boots off in the middle of the shop so he can have a look at what was bothering me. Nope, heel grips weren't the answer... He explained what was causing my discomfort (complete with drawing me a diagram) and suggested putting an insert in to see if that helped. He's given me something temporary so I've to try them out and see if they work and go back to him after a few days then he'll either work out something else for me or take out the temporary ones and fix them permanently into the boots. With my boots back on, I asked how much I owed him - not a thing! Absolutely amazing service. *skips off happily...*

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!
