    It never occurred to me until I started researching this but there are loads of these C & D Shoes…read morearound. 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 have had a pair of ankle high boots repaired here. The heel was covered in a specialised leather…read morebrown layered look which had begun to come away and the soles were originally brown. 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.

    This is super handy shop. You may get a lot of things done in here. Need insoles? Got it. Need keys…read morecut? Done. Need something engraved? Just say the phrase. Need to repair you watch? Cheapest shop you can find in city centre. I was looking for 377 watch battery, which costs €1 on eBay. All other shops were asking €10 for a tiny 377 type of battery for my old simple watch that 15 years ago cost me €22. This is insane! Anyway, went through several shops in city centre until I found this helpful simple shop. They sold me battery for €5 without bargaining. I'd say could paid maybe €3-4, but that's fine. They have to to living as well, don't they? As I said, pop in there, if you need anything small done. They do more stuff that I written.

    I'm very happy that I found this small multi-purpose shop in the Stephen's Green Shopping Centre…read more While primarily known as a shoe repair/cobbler, Timpson also engraves jewelry and knives, cuts keys, sells signage, and repairs watches. They even sell an assortment of random items like zippo lighters. I'm giving them 4 stars for the great job they did engraving my knives. For about 5 euro each, I had 1/2 dozen knives perfectly engraved in a nice scripture (you can pick from a large assortment of fonts). Major points for doing the engraving while I waited (took less than 20 minutes). I researched a few jewelers and they all wanted 1 to 2 days to do the same type engraving.
