I rang North Melbourne Shoe Repairs, on the recommendation of a retailer, for an idea of the cost & practicality of resoling a favourite pair of Ecco shoes. The soles were badly damaged, but after a brief discussion with Lee, I posted the shoes. Two days later, Lee rang to say they couldn't guarantee a job like new, but they believed it was worth a try. They were too modest!! A few days later, the shoes were posted back to me with a full "rug sole". They are as good as new, and for a fraction of the cost of a new pair.
I highly recommend North Melbourne Shoe Repairs for their prompt & efficient service and the superb quality of their workmanship!

Approximate cost: $75

Seriously, if you want a down-to-earth bunch to repairers for either shoes, handbags, cutting keys or whatever, drop into these guys. They have an incredible setup and the service you get is invaluable. They restored a well-worn pair of dress shoes to new and well .. for a quarter of the price it would cost to buy a new pair equal to the quality they produced. The best thing was that it was within a very reasonable time frame!!

Approximate cost: $130

Here is the place where me and my family goes to repair our shoes that we have paid dearly for. They are very skilled and the shoes are usually done in a day.

These guys are fantastic. I needed to replace the elastic sides of a pair of slip-on leather Ecco shoes. I tried a number of well-regarded shoe repairers around Melbourne - none could do it. But North Melbourne Shoe repairs took on this difficult job and did it superbly - and at a very reasonable price.

Approximate cost: $60.00

I bought myself a very expensive pair of climbing boots 6 years ago. 5 months ago the sole tore a bit and brought them here, they did an excellent job and now I can still use my favorite boots.

The guys at North Melbourne Shoe Repairs have done such a great job for me! Since winter is upon us I took in my old boots to get re-soled, they are like brand new and didn't cost a fortune! Thank you so much - I would definitely recommend them.

I am very happy after I had a complete rebuild of the soles of a pair of well loved Portuguese boots. These guys are true artisans who can be watched from the street at their craft - magnificent finished product; I would recommend highly North Melbourne Shoe Repairs. PS. They even replaced a rivet on my little boys boot free-of-charge - THANK YOU!

I have recently had two pairs of shoes resoled. A pair of Timberland walking shoes that I had trouble finding someone willing to do the job properly and a pair of leather soled oxfords. Both pairs have come back looking like brand new. Highly recommend the North Melbourne guys for the quality of their work.

I needed repair to bespoke made motorcycle boots when the original maker has retired. Leather at gear shift worn through. NMSR filled and covered with a protective layer and restored the boot to as new. Looks like it was made that way. Very happy with the service and work.

Approximate cost: $40
