    Gorgie Cobblers managed to repair my boots which I thought would not be able to be repaired. They look as good as new and the cost for this was very competitive. I can’t recommend them enough and will be using them again. Forget the big chain shops and use this local, excellent service.

    Took one of my favourite pairs of brogues along to this long-established cobbler in Gorgie to have them resoled. Fitted new leather soles for less than a well-known shoe repair chain quoted for man-made soles. Expert finish to job, and I am very happy with result. I will take other brogues there when they need heeling, soles too. Highly recommend this local business.

    Quite disappointed - went in once and the bottom of my heel that just got fixed came off very easily. Went in again as giving the benefit of the doubt as it was one that's close to me. Wanted to make sure that the same thing didn't happen again and the guy argued with me about it, was a bit grumpy admittedly as I couldn't be bothered arguing. Went to collect shoes, heel was fine but they just slapped a big heel on that doesn't match the shoe at all. Didn't feel comfortable going back to make a fuss but annoyed that I've spent twice to get one heel fixed and then a whole amount for a pair of shoes I will not wear because they look ridiculous. I will 100% travel next time I want a repair.
