My gorgeous pair of discontinued classics, have returned looking brand new! I just cant believe how great a job has been made on these. Even the leather has been treated to a nice polish. Will absolutely be returning to Shane for future Birkenstock work, should the need arise.
Hi Bernice, stoked to hear your Birkenstocks look like new! Thank you for trusting us with your favourites.
Shane
Overjoyed with the result of a complete sole, cork and liner of my 20yo Birkenstock Bostons. Great updates and sorted from Wellington in the promised three days. Top form guys.
Delighted with the repair on my hard worn Birkenstocks - great to finally have an alternative to replacing them in NZ. The environmental aspect is so important too! Very efficient web based system and turnaround. Couldn't be happier with your work and have widely recommended.
Thanks for keeping more footwear from landfill Katherine.
Appreciate your kind comments.
Shane
I sent Shane my very very sorry looking Birks, a model that is no longer being made. They were so close to ending up in the bin - but they came back re-built looking great, on completely brand new foot beds and with revamped repaired straps! Very happy with the service and repair. Cheers Shane
Hi Pete
Thanks a bunch for the awesome review! We're so glad we could save your well-loved (and nearly binned!) Birks and give them a whole new lease on life. It’s always a win when we can bring a discontinued favourite back from the brink. Appreciate you sending them in and for the kind words — we’ll be here next time you’ve got a pair looking a bit munted and needing some TLC!
Kind regards
Shane
Amazing service - posted Wednesday, had them back following Monday good as new 🤩 Thank you fantastic job and outstanding service 👍
Hi Jane
Wow, that’s a quick turnaround! So glad we could get your Birks back to you good as new in no time. Appreciate your kind words—it means a lot! Enjoy your refreshed sandals, and give us a shout when they need their next spruce-up. 😃
Kind regards
Shane
PS great job with the photos!
I saw Shane on Instagram and sent him my very tired Birki sandals. Afew days later they returned after Shane's TLC: new soles, a flatbed repair and spruce up. Good for another few years. Very grateful. Many thanks Shane!
Hi Pip
Thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm really glad you found me on Instagram and that your trusty Birkis are now looking fresh and ready for a few more years of adventures. Giving them new soles, a footbed repair, and a spruce-up was a pleasure. Thanks again for sending them in. Im grateful for your support!
Kind regards
Shane
What a fabulous service - I posted my birkies after school on the Monday and they returned to me with new soles on the Thursday
Hi Karen

Quickest turnaround ever, and my Birks have a new lease on life. Thanks Shane!
Hi Cliff
Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We're so glad we could breathe new life into your Birks and get them back to you in record time. It's always a pleasure to help keep favorite shoes going strong. If they need any more TLC down the line, you know where to find us.
Kind regards
Shane
My birks are back to their best, the cork fix can’t be seen and the new sole is amazing to walk on. I was worried it would be too stiff, like when you first buy and have to break the shoes in, but it’s not, they are still amazingly comfortable.
The turn-around, from sending to receiving is outstanding.
I will trust Shane again with my others, brilliant job and service!!!!
Hi Jo
Wow - thank you for such a detailed and wonderful 5-star review! I'm thrilled to hear your Birkenstocks are feeling just perfect after the resole. It's especially great to know the cork repair is seamless and that the new sole feels comfortable right away without needing a break-in period - that's exactly what we aim for!
Your comment about the quick turnaround means a lot, as we always try to get beloved shoes back to their owners as quickly as possible. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and I'm honored to have earned your trust for your other Birkenstocks in the future.
Thank you again for choosing our service!
Best regards,
Shane and the Shoe Repairs team
Great resole well worth it.
Thanks Katherine
Appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
Shane
Shane provided an excellent service and advice on my Birkenstock sandals. Hassle free process, excellent communication throughout and speedy turnaround. Have been sending my footwear to Shane for a good couple of years now, all the way from the Manawatu to Tauranga - and will continue to do so.
Thank you Arup for your kind review.
I appreciated your early online business and that you stuck with us as we learnt how to make online work. Still plenty of room for improvement.
Thanks again, and I look forward to sharing your review with the team on Monday.
Shane
Sending one’s loved Birkenstocks for repair based on a FB advert and some reviews which may not be independent, not to mention the money sent in advance is a risk. However the communication about receipt and returning was reassuring. Repairs seem to be good but I haven’t worn the repaired sandals yet to review the repairs objectively. The one comment is that the options when determining the repairs are narrow. My impression is that I may not have accurately identified the description of the repairs properly and did not know whether I had paid too much or indeed too little. I still don’t know. There was communication from the repairers that they’d let me know but this didn’t happened. I had to chase up the repairer so the 3 days was exceeded. The job wasn’t urgent but the 3 day was exceeded. Not an issue from my stance but for the repairer to claim that may be unrealistic.
Hi Kevin
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback.
Your Birkenstocks arrived with the straps coming unglued on the sides. That’s extra work on top of the resole and footbed clean. We said we’d let you know about it, then took too long deciding how to handle it, and never got back to you. That’s how the job took much longer than the 3-day target.
In the end we reglued the straps at no extra charge. You paid for the resole and footbed clean, and the strap repair was on us.
We’re tightening up how we handle jobs that need more work. So the customer hears from us with in 24 hours.
Kind regards
Shane
Shane and the team are wizards- they repaired the outer sole of my Birks and restored the leather- like a brand new pair for 1/3 the price. Fast and efficient courier service. Will definitely be using their services again.
Excellent repair. Have recommended Shane's Shoe Repairs to friends and family
Restored my 5 year old Birkenstock clogs to their former glory. Absolutely amazing! Will be using in future for sure.
Wow! What a service. Great communication, quick service.
I was going to throw them out I had no idea it was a thing to get them replaced. Thank you so much for breathing new life into a pair of old faithfuls
Excellent service and job. Can't fault.
Hi Sharon, thanks for the lovely review! We’re pleased you’re happy with the Birkenstock resole and our service. We really appreciate your support!

Great communication, fast turn around and great quality. Got my birks resoled, posted them for Taupō and they were back with a week. Will definitely be back.
Thanks so much for the recommendation! We’re glad you were happy with the communication, quick turnaround, and quality of your Birks resoles. We look forward to helping you again!

Thanks so much, amazing job on the new birk soles for my sandals and for the non slip and new soles for the boots. Amazing job.
Thanks for the review. Glad the resole on your sandals and the new non-slip soles on your boots came out well. Happy to have you back if anything else needs doing.
Kind regards
Eden
So fast, so convenient, great job.
Hi Erin,
Thank you for the kind words. Glad the Birkenstock resole was quick and easy for you.
