Repairs that stand the test of time

We believe in saving good shoes and bags from the landfill. Whether it’s your favourite boots,  shoes or sandals. We repair and restore the footwear you already love. With expert care your quality shoes can keep going for years.

For more than 27 years, we’ve been perfecting both our repairs and the system behind them.

We started as a one-man workshop in Mt Maunganui. Today, we’re one of New Zealand’s most trusted shoe repair services. Every week, customers from Invercargill to Kerikeri send us their treasured footwear.

Each pair we restore is one less sent to landfill - and one more with plenty of miles left to give. 

Because the most sustainable shoe is the one you already own.

Meet Shane - our resident repair legend

Shane has been fixing shoes since 1998. He’s seen it all. New RM Williams boots chewed by mice. Birkenstocks eaten by dogs. And every kind of shoe damage Kiwis can throw his way.

He’s a hands-on owner and still loves fixing things. Shane believes good shoes belong on your feet, not broken in the back of your car or wardrobe. Known for his TikToks, honest advice, and solid craftsmanship. Shane keeps Kiwis walking comfortably - one repair at a time.
