Timpson

I went here yesterday to get my shoes fixed, as they only needed glue, a little waterproofing. I went in on Monday, but it was not done for me coming back, I understood that as they are a very busy shop.
I came back today and they were fixed perfect. Glued, waterproofed with glue on a crack, then polished black to hide the glue. All this for a grand total of £2 I’m well happy with the job.
My grandfather was a cobbler for over 25 years with Mister Minit, so I was telling them this and having a chat.
Now a days as a cobbler they do more than fix shoes, watch straps and cut keys. They actually fix mobile phones too.
Bring all your old shoes here and get them made like new.
Thanks guys

Timpsons shoe repair it is! Doesn’t it drive you crazy that high heeled shoes run out of heel in about 2 days. It drives me up the wall, I grew up thinking shoes were a one time buy, not a chance, they need maintained. Timpsons is the man for your job, they will have you back in the road literally.
You can get any type of shoe heeled here, from stilletos to mens suit shoes. It is a good job, they always give me back a polished and waxed pair of shoes. The only hang up is that it just cost quite alot, for one pair of shoes, which I got souled and heeled it was over £8. In a time where shoes and clothes for that matter are rather disposable, I don’t know that prices so high are sustainable. They seem to be doing really well though and do offer top service.
You can get your watch links taken out or in here, and keys made for the day you end up losing them.

I have had mixed experiences with Timpson. I cannot rate their shoe repair — I find that a new heel from them lasts about 5 minutes.
However the key cutting service is excellent and very competitve. The service is very quick and the staff are friendly and efficient. They also stock a range of dog tags, door plaques and umbrellas which are all good quality.
Being in the city centre and right next to Central station it is a very good location and easy to get to.
