i was told that my lovely comfortable shoes which cost a lot of money could not be repaired but thanks to Shanes repairs they have been brought back to life. They did a beautiful job with a half sole i am-so happy
30+ year old kumf shoes resoled and given a new life great service.
Thank you
Thank you. Thirty-plus years is a fantastic run, and shoes that have lasted that long are well worth resoling for a new lease of life. Happy to help.
Excellent job & communication with Shane. First time using Shane Barr & would highly recommend!
I'm very pleased with the result. Smooth transition from half sole to waist. Thanks John.
Great quality work, easy postage process, sadly no cobblers in my area (far north) so pleased to find somewhere great to send shoes for repair. Highly recommend.
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the review. Glad the half soles came up well and the postage process was easy from the Far North. Send them down any time you need more work done.
Kind regards
Eden
Friendly staff, quality work, delivered on time. I will be using their services again.
Had my boots resoled the other day. This was a really quick turnaround and a great result.
Still waiting for the job to be done
Hi Penny
Sorry we didn't have your marching boots ready when you came in, and that we couldn't locate them at the time. Not good enough on our part.
Glad the repair itself hit the mark. We've tightened up our existing system to make sure due jobs always get done first. We appreciate you giving us the chance to make it right.
Kind regards, Shane
Very happy with my boot repair. And done so fast thank you
