Hoxton Shoe Repairs

Abysmal service. They wanted £80 to fix the heels and resole a pair of fashion boots. I would recommend avoiding this business no matter how urgently you need your shoes repaired.

This shoe repair is mediocre and worst: they are thieves! To avoid!
I brought them around 5 – 6 pairs of shoes with various things to be done (heels, sole guards, etc.) for which I paid more than £130 — really expensive but given the good reviews I decided to give it a go.
So far I have worn 3 out of the 6 pairs:
— one of the heel fell off the first day I worn these
— another pair: they were supposed to screw a heel to the sole, to make it stick — after first day worn, the heel is falling apart again, they just glued it and not screwed it as they said (and charged me for) — thieves!
— last pair: they did not replace the rubber heels as they told me they would (and charged me for) — thieves!
For now out of 3 pairs they have not been able to mend one correctly, despite the enormous fares they asked for.
So now I have to bring my shoes back to a cobbler: but for sure NOT to Hoxton

As you can see, Paul from Hoxton Shoe Repairs is a standup guy.
He not only replied privately to me to apologize for the troubles I’ve had but also posted the comment below.
This is good business, and it means I’ll be back to Hoxton Shoe Repairs. Good thing, because I do really like them and their work. Really cool they take the feedback so seriously and so professionally.
See you soon guys!

On my last visit here, I brought them my favorite
pair of Lacoste that was in serious damage need of recovery. This this
shop provides great and quick service with only affordable services The
personnel here are very caring and seem to know their material. All
kinds of shoe are able to service here. Most of this can also be done either
while you wait or within a couple of hours.

I was in need of getting the heels of a pair of oxfords replaced and decided to do so on a trip to London, who knows shoes better, really? Looked at the reviews of various shoe repair shops in central London on Unilocal and google and settled on Hoxton.
I mentioned that I needed the heels replaced and the clerk/​repair person even suggested a lightweight heavy duty heel — was it that obvious? ;) Dropped off my shoes before lunch and picked them up after five the same day. The price was reasonable and I was very pleased with their work and customer service. I will definitely bring all of my shoes in need of repair here, even if it’s an ocean away.
Local/​UK phone numbers get a text alert, when their shoes are ready non-​UK numbers will get a pick-​up time estimate.

Brought in my 10-​year old cowboy boots, and £30 later I picked them up with new soles and heels (they also re-​dyed the existing heel portions that had scuffs), and they feel great! Only a couple days for turn around, friendly service, and they even text me when they were ready.
I’m not sure what their prices are like compared to other places, but the quality of work seems quite good, and those prices are comparable to what I paid in the US, so I am happy. I’d certainly go back next time I need shoes repaired.
They accept credit cards, too, which is nice.

In a flat with 3 girls (all of whom have a shoe fetish), a good, solid, trustworthy and affordable cobbler is akin to a good man! — we found the former @ Hoxton Shoe Repairs.
And like a good (and our ideal) man… they are gentle to the leather’s touch, quick to service, with a smile, and do an admirable job. In the last week they’ve resoled, built heels and weatherized our boots and dancing shoes.
And if by chance you’ve found a man worthy of a spare key… well, they’ll cut one of those for you too!
