Bob’s Heel Bar

So, I have been saving up many pairs of shoes to re-​heel all at once and decided to revisit Bob’s to get them all done at once. I nipped in to Chapel A and went on in, explaining that three needed re-​heeling and my boots desperately needed some kind of rubber bottom to the heel as the plastic was proving lethal in the wet weather. (Yes, summer seems to be officially over in Leeds with nary an hour of decent sunlight in the last week or so…)
The chap asked if I wanted them doing today, which I did, so he said he needn’t bother with a ticket. Since I was getting four pairs done at once he decided to do all four for for only £20, where usually the individual pairs are a £6.50, which I thought was marvellous! I handed him my bundle of shoes and spent a lovely hour or so mooching in Chapel A and enjoying a coffee at Zed before heading back to see how he’d done.
He showed me my newly re-​heeled shoes and all three pairs seemed as good as new, it still amazes me what a new lease of life simply re-​heeling can do for my favourite pairs of shoes, and he’d even polished up my boots with their new safety-​friendly rubber heel. Couldn’t be happier with the service, lovely staff and great work. Win!

This cobblers/​key cutters has such a fun name that I couldn’t help choosing this over the hardware shop that for getting an allotment key cut recently. I was able to get it cut in a funky colour so I don’t confuse it with my house key like I did before I lost the last one. They also do shoe repairs whilst you wait so its really easy to drop off a pair and have look in all the little shops in Chapel Allerton or do your weekly shop in the supermarket.
