Did an okay job but very poor customer service. Got my boots re-heeled and re-soled in Bryan's…read more When I brought my boots in for repair the young guy (Bryan's son maybe) told me to leave my boots with them and they would be ready in two days. So I did. And I paid in advance, €28. When I went to collect them the two days later, it was a different man working there. He couldn't find them initially. It turned out they hadn't been repaired at all. The man told me to go off for about 20 minutes or so and he would repair them in the meantime. I decided to wait instead. He started to work on them and, while he was working on them, another customer came in for a heel repair. He stopped working on my boots and did the other customer's shoes straight away. He then finished the work on my boots. Being let down and then delayed like this was very disappointing and I will not return to this cobbler for any further repairs. Furthermore, one of the soles started to come loose a few months later.

Having been so very scathing about C&D in Sandymount i am now about to make an intentional and…read moredecidedly preachy point about staff and how between two shops in the same chain the differences in experience can be colossal. So here it is, I love this place, I trust the guys completely; the feeling you get of dealing with professionals who will do their very best to repair your footware and if it is beyond repair, they will just tell you - no messing about, no trying to up-sell something you neither need nor want - that is the feeling you get here!

You'd never guess it if you see the shopfront, it's higgledy-piggledy scatter shot window display has everything from pliers to USB cables in a veritable smorgasbord of useful brick-a-brack. Just because they're a franchise doesn't mean they're heels though *ahem* franchisees have sole too :) I imagine the cobbler is an endangered species no matter which way you cut it. In this modern era of cheap, fashionable shoes designed to last one weekend and be abandoned it's probable that many of us haven't ever had a shoe repaired. If you do have an precious pair of favourites you can't imagine parting with, then don't. C & D Shoes can do wonders loosening tight shoes, tightening loose shoes, lowering high-heels and, quite probably, highering low-heels.

I was also a little concerned as they a re of a nu buck finish that this would become polished and spoiled. The cobbler repaired the leather finish matched the colour of the sole and repaired everything perfectly! The shoes are like new and I am really delighted with the service. I didn't go for "as you wait" because overnight was perfect for me. The right shoe was badly worn with a little hole through to the 'hollow' heel but this proved not to be a problem. The cost was €10 a song compared to hunting and paying for a new shoe especially when this is a 'fave' pair! A Happy customer.

The shoe repair shop is also very good and I have had great success with old shoes being repaired and made like new. EXCELLENT!

There is the (very) occasional size 14 but, mostly, you're looking at 8s and 10s. This is really disappointing. Why, oh why can't shops get wise to the fact that those of us who are over a size 12 still like to wear beautiful clothes. I am not a giant at size 16 but to find myself excluded from some clothes stores is depressing, to say the least.

I knew what I was getting and had price in my head, so not to be tricked. Important! No one's trying to trick you in this shop :) Yey, should I say? Yes. Shop is very simple. It's filled with carpets and linoleums. At the back is the workshop. They do upholstering themselves. Leggy! Wait... hmm... Ah! Handy I meant :) There's nothing fancy, so I love it because of that. To me it means - no overpricing or at least better bargaining deals.
