Lens Shoe Repairs
(1 review)
How many old style cobblers do you know? Ones that can look at a pair of shoes, bag, whatever and…read moresay I think I can fix that and do - charging whatever whatever it cost - not what they can get away with. Len is a craftsman, after 60 years in the trade, he ought to be. You can trust your shoes to him and he will repair them perfectly. Heels cost about £6 - all depending. The first time you discover him, you will end up rummaging through those shoes, hunting out those old favourites and letting him breathe new life into them.

They give you perfect advice in whatever you need and they actuallly care about doing a good honest job. They are not into being all charming and image more than substance, they actually just do a good job. I really cannot say more than that, except I wish all places were like them.

I have gone to several shoe repair and key making shops and they are often dingy and littered with shoes, not so with the Master Cobbler. Every thing is neat and in perfect order. Not only is the staff friendly but extremely competent. I would feel comfortable leaving high end shoes there ,and I'm talking Jimmy Choo all the way down to my Buster Browns. The Master Cobbler is a great shop. So when you need to have a pair of shoes fixed, this is the place to go.

I have been born and brought up in Hitchin and appreciate so much the independent shops we are still privileged to have here. I have used Jamies Shoe Repairers many numbers of times, and both he and his team are courteous, kind, helpful and have insight. They clearly have extensive knowledge of their trade. They have just made a good solid repair of a buckle on a good pair of shoes for me today, for next to no cost, and which I had believed were unrepairable. They've cut keys for me, made ID tags for my little dog and my handsome wayward mischievous cat, and matched and cut with precision, a new car key for me last summer, which has been a saving grace to have. In a stressful world this little shop has helped me on countless numbers of occasions, and made my life easier because if it. THANK YOU for being here in Hitchin. Thank you for creating so many smiles. Just thank you.

This was the state I was is a while ago until a guardian angel/ flat mate told me about this place.

Here's my story: I had bought a new leather belt and I needed additional holes punched into it. A few years back I was facing a similar scenario and the clerk at that store in the US actually charged me a couple Dollars per hole. I've been extremely wary of shoe repair stores ever since and so I actually asked how much they would charge for such a simple action (which literally takes like 10 seconds per hole). Here's their answer: "Oh, just put a donation in the charity box!" I loved that answer so much, that I immediately stripped of the belt and handed it over...in the end I donated a pound per hole.

This and you just don't get the mileage out of leather soles. Which means you keep needing to replace them as well as having wet feet which is expensive as well as damp. I've had this pair a few years and rarely wear them but they're very comfortable and so I thought I'd give them a new lease of life. I have also been thinking about switching a few pairs of my leather soled shoes to Dainite soles which are the regular non-leather alternative for a quality shoe. So I dropped them into James and got these Vibram soles put on. In a tasteful blue with cool detailing visible on the side, they look the part, they will wear much better than the previous rubber soles and they'll keep my feet dry too!
