Can anyone recommend a cobbler in Bangkok? I'm looking to have new leather soles put on some shoes. I am specifically looking for a shop that has the proper equipment rather than one of the street-based repair people who glue on rubber soles.

There have been some recommendations here about custom shoes so I may try one of those shops to see if they also do repair.

Ha Ha! You are talking cobblers!

Use a fully-equipped shoe repair centre. I regularly use the one in the basement of Central on Silom Road (the one linked to the Saladaeng BTS station), and I have always been satisfied with their work. You will find others in big department stores or shopping malls.

We use one called mr shoe or something like that. 3rd floor central bangna. The only thing I resent is that it costs as much to have the shoes soled and heeled as it does to buy a new pair

Sorry to dredge up an old topic. I have a pair of Florsheim shoes that sorely need new soles. Does anyone have suggestions other than the ones above? Would Central at Chit Lom have a place or do I need to go to Saladaeng? I am coming from Asok so I guess it doesn't matter so much. How many days does it typically take?

i use a 420 year old man on the corner of my soi.

So is the 420 year old man good? Any info on how to find him being that I don't know which soi is your soi?

no, he's MY cobbler

Thank you folks. I visited the shop in the basement of Central on Silom Road last week and within an hour they fixed me up for THB 580. I've worn the shoes a few days since and am a happy camper!

the place in Central Silom must have a new guy working there. He's lazy and unreliable, find somewhere else.

Emporium shopping mall Sukhumvit soi 24 down in basement 1 or 2? also, better price sometimes Robinson shopping mall in basement but not sure if it's still there after the renovation but close for you
