Our Story

Canadians throw away over 250 million pairs of shoes every year — 85% of which end up in landfills rather than being repaired or recycled. We started Cobbler.ca because we believe quality footwear deserves a second life, and the skilled trade of cobbling deserves to thrive in the modern economy.

Our network of certified craftspeople operates across 48 Canadian cities in all 10 provinces, from the salt-battered sidewalks of Toronto and Montreal to the rugged terrain of Calgary and Vancouver. Every cobbler in our network has a minimum of 5 years of professional experience and ongoing training in modern materials and techniques.

We specialize in what matters: shoe repair, boot resoling, leather restoration, zipper replacement, shoe shine, stretching, dyeing, handbag repair, and luggage repair. Whether it's a $40 resole on a child's school shoes or a $200 restoration on vintage Louboutins, every pair receives the same meticulous attention to detail.

We use only premium materials from brands trusted by the world's best shoemakers: Vibram soles for durability and grip, Topy half-soles for luxury shoe protection, and Saphir products for leather conditioning and colour matching. No shortcuts, no cheap substitutes.

What sets us apart is convenience. Our free pickup and delivery service eliminates the biggest barrier to shoe repair — finding time to visit a cobbler. Schedule a pickup online, and we handle the logistics. Most repairs are completed within 5-7 business days, and every job comes with a satisfaction guarantee.
