Bodkin's Bootery

This is a hidden gem - lots of brands of shoes that you don't see everywhere and a really good range of mens shoes. Their repair service is excellent - took in a pair of shoes that other shoes repairers couldn;t fix - and Bodkin Bootery fixed them at a reasonable price.

Amazing boots and footwear- the store has got a great vintage feel with amazing range of merchandise. Male and female, accessories, belts, hats, gloves - the works.The shop keeper is highly knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Also repairing and alterations are doable. The level of service is astounding and has a great amount of options.

If you are looking for a comedy show, and really don't care about service, this is the place for you. However, if you want a professional job with reliable / knowledgeable service, you better look elsewhere.

So to start off I should mention that this is not where the shoes are repaired BUT it is the place where I left my shoes and had to be picked up.I was told that my boots would take 10 days to be repaired and that it would cost around $60.So after around 12 days of not being sent a message I went in and found that my boots were not ready yet but they would be ready soon.A couple days later my grandmother was kind enough to pick them up as I was busy. However the cost was not $60 but $130 which as a student has screwed up my finances for the next couple weeks. On top of the unexpected cost they also did not repair the crack in the side of the sole of my boot which I very specifically pointed out as something I wanted repaired.Besides all of that the boots were repaired well. I'll likely be going somewhere else for future repairs.

Absurtly overprices and very bad quality repair.My hikingshoes are almost ruined, with glue all over them, the sole came off only 2 days after the 'repair'. I brought them back because i had spend $150 to get them fixed (they got done again) both times i had to wait 5-6weeks to get them back.Now (a few weeks later) the sole has come off again..Would not recommend this place.

I had a pair of leather boots repairs that I've had since 2007 I couldn't be happier and I hope to get another 13years out of them. For quality leather repairs I wouldn't go anywhere elseOwner is also lovely, the shop is very cool I take my guests when they come to visit Perth. My dad can also now get his boots off after buying a cool contraption

I had a pair of Barker Chelsea boots re-soled, although it took a little longer than quoted I was kept informed and it was well worth the wait.My boots are like new due to the quality of the repair - good for another 10 years.I will without a doubt be going back for my next repair and very likely my next boots.Very Freo, and in my opinion very good.

Could be a booming business. It's only my opinion, but I found very little consistency in customer service, in the quality of work, or the pricing. My new sandals were lost then found, the work done almost ruined them - I sort of fixed them to make them wearable, but won't return there for any work in the future. I'm very sorry to feel this way.

Bought a nice ostricht leg belt here. Fair prices. Friendly owner. And very very cool cash register

I had four pairs of shoes repaired here recently. The shoes were 15 to 20 years old and after Bodkins resoled them, they will probably last as long again. You don't get this type of work at a regular shoe repair/key cutting outlet. You might pay 20% less and get it back faster but the quality of the work at Bodkins is far superior than a glue job you'd get else where. As in most things in life - you get what you pay for. If you have a good pair of shoes or boots that are worth keeping - I'd recommend going to Bodkins.
