Popular Church’s Shoe Repair Services

We perform all sorts of shoe repair and restoration services, but here are a few of the most popular services we offer for Church’s shoes.

Church’s shoe sole protection and repairs

Soles

We repair soles and resole Church's shoes, with half or full soles, using premium materials — including Vibram / Topy and Dainite studded rubber soles and JR leather soles. Learn more about our shoe resole, shoe sole repair, shoe sole protectors and shoe toe plates services.

Church’s shoe inner lining repairs

Inner linings

We repair and re-line interiors of Church's shoes, most often around the wearer's toes and heels. We craft leather patches and heel counters from suede, custom cut to fit the shoes.

Church’s shoe waterproofing and stain protection

Water / stain protection

We treat leather with water and stain protectors to help ensure the leather uppers on Church's shoes continue to look fresh despite the effects of everyday wear.

Church’s heel repairs

Heels

We reheel Church's shoes, building up or replacing worn heel blocks and replacing heel caps with premium full rubber and quarter-rubber (three-quarters leather) heel caps. Learn more about our shoe heel replacement and repair services.

Church’s shoe cleaning and leather restoration

Cleaning / restoration

We polish/shine scuffed leather uppers on Church's shoes. We also clean, condition and even recolour the leather where it is heavily scuffed, cracked or discoloured. Learn more about our shoe restoration and cleaning services.

Church’s shoe stretching

Stretching

We use special machinery to accelerate the otherwise painfully slow process of breaking in leather, helping to immediately improve the fit of your Church's shoes.

What our Customers Think

Here is some of the feedback we have received from customers.

Fantastic service and the results are far better than expected. The new soles and heels on my shoes look great and far better than I had hoped.
Gary, Brisbane
Smooth and painless postal service — much easier than making my way into the CBD paying for parking etc. The repair cost is very reasonable, good quality, and the turnaround time was excellent.
Dan, Sydney
My shoes were returned faster than anticipated and the team did a great job. Thank you, I will be back!
Nick, Sydney
Had oil spilled on my brand new suede shoes. Two other repair shops said that nothing could be done. With little expectation I sent them over to SoleHeeled. Two weeks later the stains are barely visible. Great job!
Imran, Sydney

Frequently Asked Questions

   

It's all very quick and easy — promise!

  1. Complete our online order form, where you'll be able to upload photos and describe the work you'd like done to the shoes. You'll get an instant quote based on your selection and then choose to either proceed with an order or request a custom quote.
  2. Once we've reviewed your order, we'll email you instructions for getting your Church's shoes to us. If you live in Sydney, you'll have the option to drop the shoes off at our workshop. Otherwise, you'll be able to drop them off at a local Australia Post office, where they'll be packaged and shipped over to us for free.
  3. Once we receive your shoes, we'll repair and return them to you by courier.
   

The time it takes to complete a Church's shoe repair depends on the work required and the workload in the workshop when the shoes are received.

We are generally able to complete basic repairs on Church's 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).

   

We use only the highest quality materials, including premium leathers, soles and heels — including soles and heel made especially for Church's shoes.

   

Yes, we stock a wide range of premium leather care products you can use to extend the life of your Church's 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 Church's shoes repaired.

And whenever your shoes are in transit (whether on their way to our workshop via Australia Post or on the way back to you via courier), you'll have a parcel tracking number and receive real-time shipping notifications by email.

   

Yes, you can drop off and pick up your shoes at our workshop in Martin Place, Sydney provided that:

  1. You first complete your order online;
  2. You let us know (in the order form or by follow up email) that you'd like to drop off and/or pick up at the workshop; and
  3. 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.
