Dixon St Shoe Repair

Fixed a hard worn pair of Italian dress shoes- built up the toe that was wearing into the leather— put a new ½ sole with a slightly wider flat heel. — better than new!

Thanks for another amazing boot repair. They are like new! Thoroughly recommend.

Got the soles of my sandals replaced ($30) before the winter, after a few wears the soles started coming off so I stopped wearing them. Just took this pair and another pair in to fix. Asked her just to glue the parts that were coming off back on. She said it can't be done and the shoe had to be entirely re-soled at a cost.I wasn't happy with this as sole shouldn't have been coming off already after 4 or 5 wears! Was told (in not so many words) that I was lying - saying a few times to 4 or 5.She acted like she clearly didn't need customers like me and said that if I wanted good quality repairs, it should cost $120-$150. So she defended their poor quality repairs by arguing symantics and that I paid for relatively cheap repairs.Left the shop with one of the worst experiences of customer service in NZ.Took my shoes to another place who said that Dixon St's repair job can be repaired easily with a bit of glue. Won't be coming back.

Asked for a full resole + replacing the cork of a expensive pair of shoes.Unfortunately, they only did a half sole repair. What's more is that instead of taking out the existing stitching, they just stitched over the top of it. You can see protrusions on the welt on top as well as on the bottom of the sole, where the existing stitching has impeded the new one.This means in future when I get resolved somewhere else, it's likely I'll have to replace the welt entirely.Unfortunately cannot recommend based on this experience.

Brought in my leather satchel bag to have the strap attached again after the leather has worn out.Lovely service and was quick too, after I had asked if it could get done within 48 hours since i was leaving town.Unfortunately after $75 for attaching new D-clips and sewing the strap holder back on, the D-clips have already failed after only 24 hours. Looks like the one used has too big of an opening for the other part so it just falls out.A shame really, I wanted to recommend this place but I'll have to go see a repair service at home to fix this too now.

A wide range of products and the owner/cobbler is such a gentleman. Whenever I have a question, I DM him and receive a prompt response. I find it difficult to let go of my favorite shoes. I've taken them more than twice since I've moved to Wellington and they can always repair and restore them to almost their original condition. Reasonable prices - could be cheaper tho.

Excellent shoe repairs, just like new and all for $35!

The proprietor is an expert who knows how to repair shoes. He did a great job of repairing a set of platform heels for us recently and we've had good results in the past. His work is good quality and done in a timely fashion. We'd have no hesitation in taking further shoes or bags in there for repair.

Nice shop with all sorts of supplies for footwear care. Great selection of laces, nuggets, creams, inner soles, trees etc. Offers a full range of re-soling services including welted soles. Friendly and helpful service. Highly recommended.
