Canberra’s Premium Footwear Restoration Specialist

At Jhay the Cobbler, we don’t just repair shoes — we restore them.

We specialise in high-quality resoles, leather restoration, structural rebuilds and precision finishing using premium materials including Vibram and Topy and Goodyear.

Every repair is completed to professional trade standards and backed by our Craftsmanship Guarantee.

Whether it’s RM Williams, Birkenstock, heritage work boots, dress shoes or everyday footwear, we restore them properly — not temporarily.
