AlexandraTheGreat Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 It just fell off whilst walking. The originals were worn so I went to Timpsons, these are the replacements. I thought they did a piss poorjob as they made a mess of the material that covers the heel as well. Replaced a month ago, fell of today, disinclined to back to ANY Timpsons ever again as everything I go in for seems hassle (don't even get me started on key cutting) regardless of which branch I choose. anyhow, looking at the inside of the heel, it seems to me that just banging in a couple of pins was not what was required. Is there a Doc Marten specific re heeler anyone knows about or anyone that can really do this job properly in an of the above three towns or the geographical triangle between them...? Would be very, VERY grateful for help on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x minit uk Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I see this type of repair on a daily basis, they are a total shambles of a company and James Simpson should be ashamed of himself. Their training manager must be robbing a career . kobblers and da miller 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexandraTheGreat Posted January 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Thank you for the local recommendation of keyshoes, which is what I was after, a personal recommendation. Just looking on the internet isn't enough really, is it, and also fairly obvious.
