Hi All,
Was hoping to get some recommendations on where to get shoes refurbed / resoled?
I have various grensons / Barkers / Churches etc. For some brands such as churchs its easy as i can send them back for a full refurb / resole. However for my grensons they only resole not refurb, therefore any recommendations of any online friendly places i can get a pair refurbed and resoled?

Shoehealer was always very good. I’ve also used the Ilkeley Shoe Company for plenty of resoling etc- their work is pretty good.
The trouble is not sending back to the original manufacturer without the original last. I know loake will repair up to 5 times but not if done elsewhere.
I have mostly Barker shoes, and for haste I had them done elsewhere - regretted it within a week.
Whilst initially looking good, the heel angle was a little off, no replacement leather insole, and overall shape is a bit wrong.
Barker every time now.

And i would agree that everytime choosing manufacturer is best. But my issue like i said is that grenson only do resoling - and i need a small area of leather potentially refurbed / polished. Therefore original manufacturer is not an option this time.Quote:
