Soles

We repair soles or else replace them with new soles, which we carefully glue or stitch into place. We use only top-quality European leather and anti-slip rubber soles to ensure comfort and longevity. Learn more about our shoe sole repair, shoe resole, shoe sole protector and shoe toe plate services.

Full flat soles

Loafers, boat shoes and sneakers typically have one full sole, rather than a sole that's separate from or shorter than the heel. We replace the full sole, stitching or gluing a new one to the base of the shoe. Learn more about our shoe sole replacement services.

Inner linings

The inner lining fabric often tears or shows significant wear over time. We patch these tears using custom-cut leather patches or replace the lining entirely where necessary.

Straps

We repair damaged shoe straps or replace them entirely with new straps, including any velcro on their underside.

Zippers

Zipper damage doesn't spell the end of a great pair of shoes or boots. We can repair your original zippers or replace them with top-quality new ones if need be.

Eyelets

These are metallic rings around holes in leather/fabric, typically decorative or used to thread shoe laces. We replace them where damaged and can even add new ones where necessary.

Stretching

Having to 'break in' shoes is often the most annoying part of wearing a new pair. We use specialised machinery to carefully stretch shoes based on your preferences. Learn more about our shoe stretching services.

Waterproofing / stain protection

Waterproofing is a necessity for new shoes, particularly suede shoes, to keep them looking sharp in, and in spite of, all types of weather. Learn more about our shoe waterproofing services.

Polish / shine

We remove light dirt and apply conditioners to carefully polish your shoes and restore colour to the edges of your soles and heels. Your shoes will look fresh as ever.

Heels

Heels can be so worn that heel blocks themselves are damaged, affecting your balance and posture while walking. We build up damaged heels or replace them entirely. We can also adjust the height of heels to better suit body heights and preferences. Learn more about our shoe heel repair services.

Heel tips

Heel tips make all the difference when it comes to comfortably enjoying your favourite heels. We stock various types of heel tips, and always recommend replacing plastic tips with anti-slip rubber ones to ensure comfort and longevity. Learn more about our heel tip replacement services.

Insoles

A comfortable insole makes all the difference when it comes to enjoying a shoe. We replace stock insoles with orthopaedic ones or custom-cut ones that match your shoe's shape. 

Elastic gussets

Even on the most rigour-proof shoes, elastic gussets are easily worn. We can replace them with top-quality gussets to get your shoes feeling snug but flexible again.

Buckles

We repair damaged buckles, and can replace them with entirely new buckles if the existing ones are irreparable.

Stitching

We repair damaged stitching on shoes with matching string, removing existing string and restitching lines entirely if need be.

Dye / recolouring

We use spirit dyes that soak into the shoe's leather, permanently changing its colour. This matches the dyeing process typically used in the manufacture of high-end shoes and other leather goods.

Surface clean / restoration

Shoe surfaces are easily scuffed, cracked or otherwise damaged. We polish out scuffs, clean shoes to remove dirt and stains, and recondition leather. And we even repair deeper surface damage with invisible stitching and patching. Learn more about our shoe cleaning and restoration services.

Why you should order a shoe repair

Shoes are in many ways the ultimate fashion item — they connect us to the world, by not only physically protecting our feet from its surfaces but also signalling to the world who we are. It is no surprise then that we come to form strong connections with the shoes we wear.

The average person walks several thousand steps per day, so your shoes might be forgiven for accumulating a few gnarly scars along the way. But you’re probably struggling to find reliable shoe repairmen nearby, and you have lived without your favourite pair of shoes for months or continued wearing them knowing they’re about to bite the dust. With the abundance of affordable new shoes, it can be tempting to simply throw out rather than repair shoes.

But there is hope for your favourite shoes and no need for them to end up in a landfill, along with the other 22 billion pairs disposed of annually — each having pumped 14 kilograms of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during their production.

Whether you wear stylish, designer shoes that help you put your best foot forward and walk with confidence or more practical, everyday shoes that keep you on your feet safely and comfortably, we are here to keep your shoes doing what they do best.

Why SoleHeeled is the best shoe repair service

With the click of a button, we offer free shipping, the highest quality craftsmanship and excellent customer service on all shoe repairs — often for a fraction of the replacement cost.

Utmost convenience

We service customers throughout Australia through our free shipping service that makes getting quality shoe repairs near you easier than ever.

Simply order your shoe repair online. Then either drop your shoes off at our workshop (if you're in Sydney) or at your local post office, where staff will package up your shoes and ship them over to us for free. We'll then repair your shoes and return them to your door.

Meanwhile, you can rest assured that your shoes are in safe hands, with secure packaging, insurance and tracking whenever the shoes are in transit.

It's really as easy and hassle-free as that.

Quality craftsmanship

The age-old craft of shoe repairing and shoe restoration has been handed down through 3 generations of our family since 1955.

We care deeply about the quality of our work — and it shows. From humble beginnings in Sydney, we have become trusted repairers fixing shoes for generations of Australians and a range of local and international designer brands.

Our craftsman are experienced with not only high-end leather shoe repair services, but also sneaker repairs and boot repairs, and everything from the most basic heel tip replacement to the most complex orthopaedic modifications and leather restoration work. We have relationships with local and international suppliers of the highest quality materials and we have the scale in our workshop to ensure your shoes are taken care of and returned to you promptly.

Friendly, dependable customer service

Most people don’t consider getting a shoe repair online. While they don't feel quite comfortable leaving their shoe repairs to a local cobbler, the thought of shipping their shoes off to shoe repairmen they have never met might not come naturally.

However, as an online service, trust is the lifeblood of our business. We understand that every customer is entrusting us with their shoes, and that it is on us to earn that trust through each and every interaction.

We have developed a reputation as the best shoe repair service around due to not only the high standard of our actual shoe repair work but also the effort we make to ensure our customers have a wonderful experience, from start to finish.
