Very small shop, does all repairs on the shoes…read more The staff are great there, as they would give you an advice, to see if it is worth repairing the shoe, or not. Even one time I have asked them for a wee piece of leather, to repair my belt, and they happily gave it away for free! They also do the key cut, engraving, name door plaques, etc. Great wee shop.

Came here recently to enquire about getting some boots resoled and some regular shoe soles changed…read moreto an anti-slip sole. I was told my boots couldn't be resoled as they were a certain type of sole that 'wouldn't take a sole'?!...okay. Was a bit miffed about that (especially as I managed to get them resoled in another cobblers!) and was then told to get the soles on my shoes changed to anti-slip (there was nothing wrong with the original soles; just they weren't very grippy) would cost me just shy of £20! Ouch. Because these were some favourite shoes of mine & made of leather I figured what the hey...I'd rather pay that than not really be able to wear them come the icy/snowy weather. Still, I did think nearly £20 was a bit steep... They're only open until 5pm Mon-Sat so I had to wait until the next Saturday to collect them. Upon collecting them I thought they looked okay but on closer inspection the heels have got big staples visible in them and I thought this was strange as in the past I have never been able to see anything other than the heel itself. Also the sole they used was grooved and not smooth/flat as before but upon walking on them they still do not feel particularly non-slip. Hmph. Bit annoyed. Also they only take cash only and on that particular day I didn't have enough cash on me so had to go away & take out some. The lady serving was very pleasant but I don't think I will be back as I know of better/cheaper cobblers in the area.

They seem to have everything you could want on their shelves, from footwear and bags to wallets and dyes, and shoelaces and heelgrips !! In my opinion this is the best footwear shop in Glasgow !!

This is a great place to go in Partick for all your key-cutting and resoling of your shoes/boots…read moreneeds. Very reasonable & competitive prices and personally I have always had quality service. Had both keys cut and a pair of boots resoled here & both services were very swift & priced brilliantly compared to other places nearby. Was told by another shoe repair place that my boots couldn't be resoled, much to my disappointment...but I thought I would get a second opinion from Bradley's and I am glad I did ~ they resoled my boots no bother & for a very good price. My boots are still great a good few months down the line. So thank you Bradley's for saving my beloved boots!

Timpson is the sort of shop you can't do without, for all of life's little essentials, like getting…read morekeys cut or shoes heeled or soled. They also do watch batteries, watch strap replacements, door name plates, and passport photos - no smiling now. They sell all manner of shoe items - polish, laces, scuff repair etc. I really don't know why I bother going to shoe shops to get those sort of things when Timpson's are likely to have the same thing much cheaper. I like the guys in this shop. There's 2 in particular who have worked here for donkey's, and you get a wee bit of friendly banter from them. Not as much as from the guy in the Byres Rd branch - he's amazing with the funny chat, but still friendly and pleasant. One of them even fixed a boot for me for free once - it was just a wee bit of glue, but I really appreciated it. I love that for a tiny wee shop you can fit a surprising number of people in it, and it's always busy. It just always reminds me of those old comedy sketches where you'd see how many folk could cram into a mini or a telephone box, and I have a wee laugh to myself while I'm waiting for my keys or shoes.

"Cobbler" has to be among the greatest words in the English language. It rolls of the tongue…read moreeffortlessly, sounds vaguely comical, and is the title of a valuable profession which is sadly under-represented in the modern day. Whilst I only have experience of Holmlea Road Shoe Repairs from a visit with E-Bot to repair what is referred to as her "fancy shoes", it was enough to confirm to me that this kind of business was what made Britain great all those years ago. Organised chaos, and a wonderfully eccentric old cobbler who gave E a stern lecture for not looking after her footwear properly. This guy knows his stuff, and is both quick and a fair bit cheaper than Timpson's.

I have been using my Marc Jacobs leather messenger bag for the better part of 3.5 years until the…read morestrap decided it had enough and split. Unfamiliar with any cobblers or bag repairers in the city, the other half brought my bag to the lovely eccentric gentleman to be mended. It's a solid 3-stars because the stitching was a bit wonky (uneven - it's a reversible tote, and now it can't be used on the other side because the stitching is off the original line) and it's not an exact colour match, but it was only £7.50 to repair - so I can't really complain. The repair itself is fairly solid. The service was quick, and he was lovely. Future visits and other repairs (boots??) may dictate whether this 3-star review could become 4-stars.

This is a shop that sells some handbags and back packs etc. They also reheal shoes and cut keys…read more The shop is small but the service is good. I went in to get a key cut and they did it as i waited it has gone up in price but so has everything else so still reasonable in comparison. The staff were friendly and effiecient and it was easy to get in and out of the shop.

What a gem. I am SO happy we have this shop on Byres Road. Jim, the owner, is a bit of a legend…read more He is an artist and a real craftsman. I wandered in in looking to get my beloved shoes re-heeled. He said it would take about 20 minutes and would cost £9. I suppose that is relatively steep for some people, but considering that I love these shoes and I can finally wear them again AND the real TLC he gives the shoes - polish, shine the whole shebang, I was more than happy to pay! He did a stellar job, is incredibly friendly and chatty and has a good sense of humour. He showed me pictures of some of the repairs he's done, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the state of the shoes that some people bring in. Anything from Doc Martins to Jimmy Choo's (they were ghastly, I was shocked!), he managed to make everything look brand new, no matter how little leather was left. This would probably also be the place to come to get keys cut, glass engravings, belt notch making. I have yet to require any of these services, however, I know where I'll be going when the time comes. I am super happy with the service in this place, and can only recommend Jim and craftsmanship! The one thing you should know is that it is cash only.

Anyway, the guys who work there are really friendly and have obviously been doing this most, if not all of their lives. Really quick service (30 minutes for a re-heeling) and very good price (£5.49) and friendly, skilled staff make this my go-to place from now on for all shoe and key-related requirements!

An excellent business, indeed. A small, local business which provides good quality work - and fast!…read moreYou can expect shoes to be repaired and keys to be cut within the day (usually). Although, do keep in mind that Saturdays are their busiest days and hence, some services can take longer depending on local demand. The staff are very friendly, helpful and honest about how well the repair can be expected to be. For instance, there are no false promises if you have left something for too long to repair. They also stock a wide range of shoe and key paraphernalia as well as zippo lighters and the like.
