Excellent Work

I could not have been happy with the work that Shane did for my very lovely boots. He completely replaced a back zip and I am now wearing them all the time. Thank you.

Hi Lynn

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m absolutely chuffed to hear that you’re loving your boots again and that the new back zip has got them back in action. It’s always a pleasure to help bring well-loved footwear back to life. Enjoy stepping out in style, and I hope to see you again whenever your boots (or any other favourites) need a bit of TLC.
Kind regards
Shane

The Best Service

I almost threw out a perfectly good pair of boots until I found Shane’s Shoe Repairs online. The repair was done and boots sent back to me within a couple of weeks. I’m so happy with the result. This option is so much cheaper than buying a new pair of boots! Thanks Shane!

Impeccable service

I am very happy with the refurb done on my boots and as I'm from Katikati, to have a same day service was really important to me. The service was, as always impeccable and extremely efficient. My boots are now perfect and will do me several more winters since they have been restitched and re-heeled so well. Thank you so much. I always recommend you to others.

So pleased

I just wanted to let you know I received my boots yesterday and was so pleased with the repair. It is a lot of money to repair them but they are looking better than brand new and as you know they were very expensive boots originally. Thanks so much and I am so grateful to have my good boots back for the winter.
