Did a great job on a pair of custom Oxfords. Perfect fit for my large feet which means no more pain for my toes. They also used a plastic tong for support instead of the usual steel - a major plus if you have to go through airport security regularly.I don't understand the slightly Xenophobic review complaining about foreign staff". These are serious craftsmen who have done real apprenticeships - it's getting rare to find British craftsmen who have the skills needed to do a decent job. Maybe the gentleman in question should travel a little more widely if he struggles with accents."

Good day, I stopped into this shoe shop as I appeared very professional. I was greeted with such an unwelcome reserve with the least desire to assist in a simple sticky sole added to a new shoe to prevent slipping. After years in a pandemic, we have all suffered. I recommend you adjust your attitude to welcome new customers with a friendly, helpful decorum. Thank you.

Looks like a good place to find out more about there shoe making. The older the place the better.

This shop used to provide wonderful customer service (goodness, I even once got a discount for being called James Taylor!) but my experience this week was appalling. I wanted them to re-sole my Alden boots but, because they have crepe soles, it seems that's difficult. Instead of an explanation or suggestion, the assistant simply repeated: No

Re-sole / re-heel of two pairs of John Lobb's (one boot and one oxford) and the repair of ladies boots. They did a magnificent job, the shoes and boots look like new again, and will give many more years of use. So much better to repair and re-use rather than consume again - a sustainable and cost-effective option for quality shoes.

I don't normally write reviews but the customer service is absolutely outstanding. I have a medical condition that makes buying shoes extremely difficult. I have used various bespoke shoemakers over the years and no one has been as helpful as these guys, they're absolutely fantastic.

Ruined a pair of brand new Guidi boots. Took a new pair in to have a thin rubber sole put on the boots in order to wear them in wet weather. Guidi often have a strange shape as they are all hand made. They completely ruined the angle of the sole and heel. The boots feel very odd. Foreign staff who dont really understand your questions. Irritating in the extreme.

Did a great job re-soling my shoes. And a really interesting, traditional shoemaker.

I regularly take my Louboutins to this shoemaker to tidy my heels. They’ve also added a thin rubber sole to protect the leather sole. Great service and people, and amazing shop.
