We can guarantee your tight-fitting shoes will feel a lot more comfortable after having a good stretch.

Services
Andrew is a third generation Cobbler. His father, back in the 60's and 70's, had an established workshop on Hoxton Street, in the heart of London. He worked closely with designers of the era, becoming a prominent figure in the trade and, in the 80's, worked closely with the new recruits coming out of what was then Cordwainers College, now known as The London College of Fashion.
We have a wide range of specialist services available, whether it's a repair, restoration or alternation you need. As well as our skilled in-house team, we also work with experienced master craftsmen, ensuring we deliver the highest quality work. Shoe, watch and bag repairs, engraving and key cutting are amongst a variety of services we can offer.
With our shoe stretching service, we can make tight shoes more comfortable by softening the uppers and gently stretching them. We receive numerous dog-related repairs every week, so why not bring in your chewed up leather goods to see if we can fix them. We stock a comprehensive range of laces, insoles, polishes, shoe and boot trees and much more.
A fine pair of shoes deserve a little care and attention now and again as they are often a long-term investment in time and comfort. We stock a comprehensive range of laces, insoles, polishes, shoe and boot trees and much more. Waterproofing your shoes before wearing them is a good idea, especially delicate leathers or suede.
We offer an in-house engraving service for those looking to personalise a gift, or if a school or club are needing to add engravings to perpetual trophies. We also stock a range of gifts, cups and trophies and will work within short timeframes, where possible.

We always have a selection of trophies, awards, tankards, hipflasks, picture frames, cufflinks, key rings, christening and wedding gifts in store, which can all be personalised the same day.We supply and engrave laminate signs and badges in a variety of sizes and colours along with brass memorial plaques in various sizes, all of which are produced in-house by our talented engraver.

Left my watch for a battery replacement and reset, but a small piece fell out of the watch which stopped the alarm from functioning. Thankfully the after-sales service here is second to none and the issue was rectified very quickly. I'll be returning again in the future, thanks very much.

Repaired my boots to a superb standard, and gave me good advice on how to keep them in good shape. Couldn't ask for a better, more professional service. 10/10

Brought in my husband's work shoe, which urgently needing repairing in time for an interview the following day (they needed a half leather sole replacement). Before I mentioned the time constraint of this, Shoebox told me they would be ready within 3 days. However, it was urgent and I let them know and politely asked if they could help. Not only did Shoebox get his shoes fixed within 6 hours (!), but when I presented them to my husband that evening, he was bowled over by the quality of the repair. This is an excellent shop that bent over backwards to provide superb customer care and second-to-none

My Breitling Montbrillant watch was Fully serviced by the talented staff at the Shoe Box Haslemere, with replacement of original Breitling bezzle and seal after cleaning all the rusty parts inside it for ONLY £280. This happened just after giving up searching for quotes at £2500 from Breitling and £1800 from Ernst Jones who also charged me £26 for the quotation itself.
Actually, this matter had been all the way up the chain with my complaint to Breitling CEO/my friend George Kern in Swizerland, to reduce the estimate of their service to no success. The Shoe Box did it successfully!!! Hat off

My fiance took several pairs of my L K Bennett shoes into The Shoe Box and one pair needed a sole to be fitted. These shoes are so delicate that I was worried about how they would be repaired, but when I got them back I was amazed at the exceptional quality of the work. My shoes look beautiful. Thank you so much ☆☆☆☆☆
