The right tools transform shoe repair from a frustrating task into a satisfying craft. Our cobbler's hammer selection includes traditional styles and modern ergonomic designs, while our shoe anvil last collection covers standard sizes for men's, women's, and children's footwear.

Hand-stitching remains essential for quality shoe repairs. Our waxed thread for shoes comes in many weights and colours, paired with sturdy shoe sewing awls that penetrate even the toughest leather. These tools make certain your stitching matches professional standards and lasts for years.

FAQs
- What are the essential materials needed for a basic DIY shoe repair kit?
Based on our decades of industry experience, we recommend starting with multi-purpose shoe adhesive (like Barge cement), basic rubber heel tips and heel protectors, leather patches in common colours, waxed thread and needles, a small cobbler's hammer, sandpaper for surface preparation, and leather conditioner for aftercare. Our kits include these essentials, along with detailed instructions to guide you through common repairs. - What is the best type of glue for re-attaching a shoe sole?
We recommend Barge cement for most sole repairs–it's the gold standard amongst professional cobblers across Australia. Our adhesive range includes Barge All-Purpose Cement in many sizes, Renia synthetic adhesives for rubber and leather, quick-setting contact cements for urgent repairs, and speciality glues for different shoe materials. - Can I buy leather to patch or repair my shoes?
Our leather selection specifically for shoe repair includes premium hides from Argentina, Brazil, Italy and the UK. Whether you need small patches for minor repairs or larger pieces for restoration work, we offer vegetable-tanned leather in multiple thicknesses, chrome-tanned leather for flexibility, patent leather for dress shoe repairs, and suede and nubuck for specialty footwear. - How do I replace the heel tips on my boots?
We stock heel tips in many sizes, from delicate women's stiletto protectors to heavy-duty work boot replacements. Our insoles and footbeds collection helps restore comfort to well-worn shoes, while speciality shoemaking supplies enable more ambitious projects.
