This business revived my old, tired worn out boots. As a result I now have two identical pairs of…read moreblack boots thanks to this business. They replaced the broken zipper on one boot on one pair of boots, and it is an exact mirror image of the other zipper. Bliss. And the turnaround time of a few days was also quite reasonable as well, and on the overall scheme of things quite quick too. I am a happy fan already. The staff went the extra mile (all I wanted was the zipper fixed) and the next minute it looks like I have a brand new pair of boots, and the total investment was only around half of what I paid for a new pair of boots; not to mention what one originally paid for these boots to begin with. Going the extra mile came from putting new soles onto my boots and polishing off the sides to make them black without anymore specks of white. If anyone needs their shoes repaired; this place will be mentioned first to go to for assistance. The staff are professional and experienced; and they also know what they are doing with your high quality shoes.

I have put off writing this review for a few months, but my experience with Master Cobbler was not…read moreas swell as everyone else's. Like many others, I used master cobbler because I saw a flurry of good reviews. I had recently purchased a new paid of shoes, and I wanted to get rubber soles added to them to increase their longevity. When I got home and had a chance to inspect the work that had been performed, I was rather disheartened. So much so, that I put the shoes straight back into their box and didn't touch them for 2 months; only wearing them for the first time last week. The rubber soles were installed poorly, with damage done to the sole and leather of the shoes. The heel replacement, which these new shoes did not need, was also installed very poorly, damaging the stitching, leather and wooden sole of the shoe. Please refer to the photos i have uploaded to this page. The real kicker was it cost me $100, which was more than I spent on the shoes. Overall, the experience was not pleasant.

As much as I'd like to buy a new pair whenever I please, sadly it just isn't an option. As a result, I regularly get my shoes cleaned and re-soled, all in the aim of prolonging the wear I can get out of them. Frugal indeed. No matter where I'm living in Melbourne, there's no one else that I trust to look after my shoes other than the guys at Ari's. They offer: Leather soles Topy soles Rubber heels Stiletto tips Toe pieces Recovering of heel blocks Colouring and dyeing Lowering or stacking heels Recovering Size adjustment and stretching Insoles Buckles Tips Straps Zipper installation and replacement Orthopedic correction Wide range of shoe care products

Don't believe me? On The Mend has glowing reviews on Google due to their extraordinary customer service and workmanship on repairs!

The thing I love the most about Rekaris is the passion they have for shoes. When I brought in those tainted suede heels, the gent behind the counter gave them a once over, shook his head and said; "Jackie... what did you do to these?!" He promised to do what he could considering the damage. The outcome? Good as new! Rekaris is located in the handy location of City Central, perfect if you work in the city. So check them out next time you want to freshen up your favourite pair of shoes.

Thank goodness for the blokes at Rekaris shoes, who've salvaged everything from the heels on a pair of vegan suede cowboy boots to the soles of of my multi-coloured Brazilian sandals. Prices are reasonable and service is polite and good humoured. It's a bit out of the way for me so I recently tried a shoe repair place in my neighbourhood rather than take the train to the CBD. I haven't gotten the shoes back yet so can't testify to the quality of the repairs but they were way more expensive then Rekaris. If only I could learn to walk like a normal human being.....Until then there's always Rekaris!

I took in my "this can't be fixed" favourite handbag and the lovely lady behind the counter took my precious and asked me to come back tomorrow after it went through an assessment. Coming back the next day, I was greeted by the lovely gentleman who does a lot of the repairs and he told me it could be fixed! He then proceeded to explain how he would do it and asked me a couple of other questions. Frankly I love this approach :) A few days later, I come back and my "can't be fixed" bag was ready to go back into rotation. Apart from shoes and fixing bags, they also sell handbags, purses, belts, travel goods and offer a heap of services such as shoe repairs, key cutting, battery exchange, watch repair, dry cleaning, garmet alterations and shoe colouring. They were fabulous and such lovely people that delivered such a great service. Very rare to find. Totally rate it.
