At John Cobblers
We Believe
great footwear deserves a second life.

From well-worn hiking boots and everyday shoes to luxury designer footwear and premium trainers, we restore, repair and protect footwear that matters. Based in Bangor, North Wales, we combine traditional cobbling techniques with modern materials to deliver repairs that are built to last.

Whether you visit us in person or use our nationwide postal repair service, every repair is completed with the same attention to detail, care and craftsmanship

For years we've helped customers breathe new life into their favourite footwear.

Rather than replacing quality boots or shoes, we believe in repairing them properly. Every sole replacement, stitch, welt, zip, resole and restoration is completed using proven techniques and premium materials from trusted suppliers including Vibram®, Charles Birch and other industry-leading manufacturers.

Our workshop has earned a reputation for honest advice, exceptional workmanship and repairs that stand up to everyday life.

Whether it's muddy hiking boots from Snowdonia, treasured leather brogues, work boots, trainers or luxury designer footwear, every pair receives the same meticulous care.
