Can anyone recommend a good cobbler in Sheffield? Also how much is it to have a pair of shoes re-soled?

Mr Aldam, at the top of west street does brilliant repairs and he's reasonably priced, too! They also do a locksmith service.

(he is just below the pub which was the mailcoach, but he's above the West St tram stop/ Tesco)

Thanks Plain Talker :thumbsup:

I may be giving this gentleman a visit over the weekend.

Any ball park figures on cost?

Try Peters Shoebar at the bottom of Fargate. Always really helpful.

Avoid Peter's like the plague!!! (is my opinion)

They aren't much cop, at all, or at least, the times I went to them, they weren't. :<

I took an expensive pair of shoes in there to be soled and heeled, and they sliced through the leather of the upper as they were trimming the sole. ruined! :<

At the same time as I was collecting the ruined shoes, there was another lady complaining, who had the exact same thing happen to her shoes, too. :<

I went to this cobblers a couple of years ago, when I had my leather kickers resoled. I was very satisfied with the result and these were my favourite shoes. Cost about £15 then. (But that was because they were brandname shoes.)

Can anyone remember Pauldens Heelbar on the the moor,??
There was that handsome,gifted,debonair,lad full of charisma and charm back in the 70s " Boy could he heel a shoe"(Ill say no more)

Isn't there a cobbler on Woodseats? It's near the Big Tree on the corner. It's a one man business and could turn his hand to most things.

There's a cobbler in the Castle Market. He charges £14 something for a men's sole and heel. Apparently he does a really good job and I have a friend who's had a few pairs of shoes done there.

Sorry Les
You must have misread it.
I did say: handsome,gifted,debonair,lad full of charisma and charm, i think they called him Mick.

Anyone know a good cobbler either in City Centre, Hillsborough or Chapeltown that's still in business - need some shoes heeling. Thanks

I once went there to get my shoes soled & heeled, took them home went out in them and they had put two nails straight through the sole into the inside of my shoe, never again. Peters for me.

The one in Hillsborough precinct cost me £15.00 for a new heel and sole on my boots very impressed

There's a cobbler in the Castle Market. He charges £14 something for a men's sole and heel. Apparently he does a really good job and I have a friend who's had a few pairs of shoes done there.

The last pair i had soled and heeled there cost me £28.

They came back like new,very satisfied.

The cobbler on Sicey shops at Shiregreen used to be good but haven't been for a long while.

I use the one in Morrisons in Hillsborough and never had any problems

just been to morrisons and they said they couldn't do what i wanted - which is to get some new heels re-healed with less slippy rubber. Anyone had this done anywhere?

There is a traditional cobblers shop opposite nettos in middlewood.....very reasonable

The last pair i had soled and heeled there cost me £28.

They came back like new,very satisfied.
Bloody hell...i dont pay £28 for a new pair...

I've heard that the one near Lane Top is quite good and cheap too
