How much to have a pair of boots resoled?

First find a shoe mender ! Haven't seen one in years !

Our local Timpson store does shoe repairs, engraving, key cutting etc. £14 last winter to have my boots reheeled and resoled in heavy duty, non-slip rubber.

There are Timpsons all over the country, but here in our small town we have 'The Village Cobbler' whom I would much rather use. He invisibly mended one of my sandals where a strap had come adrift. I can't remember how much he charged but it certainly wasn't more than £5. He also does watchstraps, watch batteries and key cutting.

If you like them and they are comfy no price is too much, unless you can buy the exact pair again.

I had my favourite shoes reheeled at Timpsons last year. It cost me about eight pounds I think. Debenhams used to have a place that did shoe repairs and key cutting and stuff, but they seem to have let that go now, though we have an independent department store here with a shoe repair kiosk. Timpsons is your best bet.
