Throughout their lives sometimes your shoes will need a helping hand beyond a bit of cream and elbow grease, for times like these we need cobblers. The quality of cobblers vary greatly, so to put your mind at ease when you send your shoes away, we have compiled a list of cobblers we at Gwendolyn Carrie have personally tried and tested to ensure they provide the best quality repairs.
A little tip: When sending your shoes to a cobbler to be resoled, specify that you want the soles cut as close as they can to the shoe, so as when you are looking down at the shoe you cannot see the sole.
