NEW SHOOOOOOOOOEEESSSSSSSS?…read more What a load of old cobblers! Just go and get yer old ones fixed! This tiny little nook of a shoe repair place is so handy - excellent work, average prices et voila your boots are good as new! The turnaround is pretty quick too - 24 hours, but sometimes even quicker (and I'm sure if you needed them for the same day he could sort it for you). On the downside, this place is so tiny that I do have to hold my breath and slide through the door sideways in order to get in....but it's a small price to pay, knowing that once I'm out of there I can walk tall because my heels are no longer run down. Hooray!

Highly recommend against using this locksmith for call outs - I had Sam (as he goes by - his name…read moreis Husam Edaan) come by our new flat for a simple change of locks and mailbox key job. He changed the mailbox and front door lock and though expensive this was all fine - but I noticed while he was there a rattle / loose fit in the existing lock and asked him if he could tighten the fit and get rid of the rattle. He said yes but that he didn't have the proper tools so would need to book a follow up. We did so - another £100 charge out - and to my surprise it took him 5 mins and he didn't in fact briny and new tools, just a screwdriver and hammer etc from his tool bag. So he was clearly just trying to get paid 2 charge out fees for 1 job. And to make matters worse, on the 2nd call out he noticed yet another problem (some of the bolts not sitting properly when locked), which got my wife all wound up and anxious, but said once again he would need to come back for a 3rd visit - and another £100 charge out! - since he didn't have time to do this while on site. In fact he had come to ours 30 mins earlier than agreed so when he claimed lack of time he was actually running 20 minutes early from when he was supposed to be with us! Clearly just trying to get paid 3 call out fees for one job. Unprofessional, dishonest and overpriced. Consider yourselves warned!

I mean it's true the other heel would probably fall off like this one so might as well get it fixed now. Good thing I love these boots and want them to last. Really nice lady at the register.

I'm a great believer in getting maximum mileage from good shoes by having them reheeled and -soled regularly. I think I have spent more on maintenance on some pairs than they cost originally ... Mario's is almost back to its original glory, minus the addictive smell of glue. On quieter days you are served by the same guy who also does the actual job and remembers your shoes - aww. During busy periods he has a little helper who never seems to find the right bag ... everything is done on site, so no danger of your shoes being lost in transit and panics are only temporary (take a deep breath when you handed in your favourite Belstaff boots and are offered a pair of beaten up loafers instead ...). But it's the quality of the cobbling that counts, and that has definitely improved back to the original Mario's standards. Still no credit cards, and cash payments in advance - there's a cash point around the corner, so only a small inconvenience. Old school payment for old school service!
