- Once we've reviewed your order, we'll email you instructions for getting your Alden shoes to us. If you live in Sydney, you'll have the option to drop the shoes off at our workshop.

The time it takes to complete an Alden shoe repair depends on the work required and the workload in the workshop when the shoe are received.
We are generally able to complete basic repairs on Alden shoes within 2-5 business days of receiving them at the workshop. This extends to 1-2 weeks for most specialist repairs and longer for more complex repairs and restorations.
If you will be using our free shipping service (rather than dropping off and picking up your shoes at the workshop), then you should also factor in shipping time via Australia Post. This varies depending on your location, but generally takes no more than a few business days if you're in a metropolitan area and otherwise up to 5 business days (if you're in a regional or remote area).

Yes, we stock a wide range of premium leather care products you can use to extend the life of your Alden shoes. We'd be happy to ship these to you. Simply mention what you're looking for while completing our online order form (if you're also planning to get your shoes repaired), or reach out (if you're not planning to get your shoes repaired).
Once you submit your online order form, you'll be given a token that allows you to track everything online, throughout the process of getting your Alden shoes repaired.

- We have emailed you a ticket that you'll need to print out and hand over at the workshop for ID and proof of payment.
