Brice's Shoe Repairs

Fantastic craftsmanship. Repaired 3 pairs of shoes, all high heals. Not expensive either

I could not agree more with the previous reviewer. After a few disappointing visits to shoe repair shops in the Darlinghurst/Surry Hills area I accidentally found Brice's on my way to work. Not only they asked all my questions with enough great detail and friendliness but they ended up being much cheaper of what I had paid before for similar fixes. The cherry on the cake came when he advised me NOT to buy and item from his shop as I could easily get the job done with some household products: "I can charge you for that but you'll get the same result with something I'm sure you already have at home". How often do you hear that from a salesperson?

What a service these guys provide!

I went to see them with the hope of modifying my boots. They are not very old and they are quite nice looking, but they were very heavy and stiff having about four layers of leather soles.



I asked them if it was possible to replace the soles with vibram soles and they showed me a Vibram 1133 Montagna block similar to the one used in the original timberland shoes and I said that it was exactly what I had in mind.



Well after a few days I could not believe my eyes and my feet. These boots went from being nice looking, heavy and stiff to nice looking, lighter and flexible. Because they replaced the midsoles for rubber they are much more comfortable too because they absorb better the shocks produced by stepping.



I highly recommend Brice's Shoes and will definitely use their services again.
