What our Customers Think

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

First time customer, will definitely use again. What a great service provided by these folks. Excellent workmanship and quality materials.
Susan, Melbourne
Great service tailored to exactly the type of repair you need. The team was very communicative regarding delivery, turnaround time was a few days and the end result was fantastic!
Matt, Melbourne
Nobody here in Melbourne had the machine to restitch the broken sole and repair my UGG boots. So I searched through Google and found SoleHeeled. I just received my boots, within only 2 weeks, with a great repair. Very happy and highly recommend.
Avril, Melbourne
Absolutely first class workmanship and service. Highly recommend!
Tony, Melbourne
Fantastic turnaround time, excellent service, amazing!
Narumon, Melbourne
Told them what I wanted, sent my shoes and had them sent back. With a nice thick Vibram sole under my shoes that looks as if it will outlast my shoes. Same price or slightly cheaper than my shoe repair man in town, and much easier.
Erik, Melbourne
Been putting off some shoe repairs or maintenance? SoleHeeled offers a quality, convenient, and friendly service. Highly recommend!
Mahalia, Melbourne
The service is absolutely amazing, the prices very affordable! I received the shoes in pristine condition. The sole fixed, the heel fixed and the shoe fitting much nicer than I ever thought they could. Thank you so much!
Dana, Melbourne
I sent off a pair of boots with soles that needed replacing and damaged leather. I am incredibly pleased with the results and workmanship.
Sabrina, Melbourne
Prompt service and very happy with the high quality of workmanship.

Thinking of repairing shoes in Melbourne?

As Australia's cultural capital, Melbourne showcases and celebrates various forms of personal expression. Melbourne's deep appreciation for all things artistic and culturally important is evident throughout the city. From Federation Square's music festivals to Hosier Lane's remarkable street art, Melbourne is a place where one's unique identity and sense of style can be celebrated with pride.

It is no surprise then that Melbourne is where local fashion brands like Scanlan Theodore and Wittner started out and international brands like Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin have flagship stores.

However, finding and dealing with a reliable shoe cobbler in Melbourne can remain quite a challenge. Fortunately, our team at SoleHeeled can help.
