A Family run Workshop

By Martin on Thu, 01/05/2025 - 11:39

In a quiet corner of Britain, nestled in a town where tradition still matters, our family-run shoe repair shop continues to thrive—not through flashy marketing or corporate scale, but through dedication, skill, and a deep love for the work we do.

We’re proud to say that shoe repair isn’t just our job—it’s our life’s work. Passed down through generations, our craft is more than a service. It's a legacy. With over 30 years of hands-on experience and craftsmanship, we’ve seen soles worn through by thousands of steps, zips tested by decades of daily wear, and boots that have been loved nearly to death—and we’ve brought them all back to life.

Zip Repairs

Zips are the unsung heroes of footwear and bags. When they go, the item often feels beyond saving. But not to us. Our specialist zip repairers have over two decades of experience, handling everything from leather boots and bags to designer items. Each repair is done with precision, respect for the original design, and an understanding of what the item means to its owner.

Red Wing Resole Specialist

Red Wing boots are built to last—and we’re proud to be the longest-standing UK repair shop offering official resole and refurbishment services for them. Whether it’s keeping the rugged durability of the sole intact or restoring a classic to its former glory, we treat every pair like a piece of history.

R.M. Williams Boot Repairs

R.M. Williams boots are a timeless investment, and we’re one of the few trusted specialists in the UK to offer complete resoles and gusset replacements for them. Our craftsmen understand the construction, the materials, and most importantly, the value these boots hold for their owners. Every stitch, every sole is replaced with care and integrity.

Is it worth getting shoes repaired?

Choosing to repair instead of replace isn’t just a practical decision—it’s a sustainable one. In a world overwhelmed by fast fashion and disposable products, we believe that repair is a powerful statement. It’s a commitment to quality, to history, and to the environment. Repairing isn’t just something we do—it’s a life choice we stand by.

We Love the Work We Do

Our shop may be small, but our passion is immense. We take pride in every repair, no matter how big or small. Whether it’s a zip that needs aligning, a welt that needs replacing, or a boot that needs its soul—and sole—restored, we’re here to do it with heart, skill, and a smile.

So when your favourite boots start to falter, or your trusted zips give out, know that there’s a place where your items aren’t just repaired—they’re revived, by people who genuinely care.

Because here, shoe repair is in our blood.
