Took me a long time to get round to it but I finally took my old shoes to Mr Cobbler.

It cost a bit more than i had hoped (been over 20 years since i got some shoes mended) but still much less than a replacement pair. The soles and heels were in a right state so they've been completely replaced. My new old shoes are really comfortable and fit for purpose again.

Thanks to all who let me know about the move to Mr Cobbler. I'm happy with the repair done to my shoes . Thanks to Mr Cobbler/Mr Le. If anyone needs shoes mending, do use your local cobbler....
