Built on Craftsmanship
Backed by Experience
Jhay the Cobbler is built on decades of professional trade experience and a commitment to doing things properly.
Jhay began his career in the 1980s training at Falkinghamβs Shoe Service, learning the fundamentals of craftsmanship, structure and precision under respected mentors. After completing his training, he refined his skills across Sydney, working in demanding repair environments and later at Shoeworx in Chifley Plaza, servicing premium footwear brands including RM Williams, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Ferragamo.
In 2003, Jhay relocated to Canberra and established Jhay the Cobbler, bringing with him a clear standard: quality workmanship, premium materials and repairs that last.
Today, Jhay the Cobbler is trusted by Canberra locals for premium footwear restoration, precision key cutting, professional engraving and reliable battery replacement services β all delivered with care, integrity and accountability.
If something is worth repairing, itβs worth repairing properly.

Much love to one of my favourite humans for dropping some supplies as I hit hour 7 on my DJ set for the Stromlo running festival
So much fun and such a privilege to DJ weddings, especially when everyone just wants to party!
Much love to BoomBox2U for having me on the team.
πβ¨ Not all feet are the same β and thatβs perfectly normal! Some of us have different sized feet, or even a shorter leg. Today I did a 5cm build-up on a customerβs shoe to even things out and give them comfort, balance, and confidence with every step.
At Jhay the Cobbler, no challenge is too big (or small). From everyday wear to special adjustments, you can trust that your shoes β and your comfort β are always in expert hands. πͺ‘π£
Because quality repairs arenβt just about shoesβ¦ theyβre about people. π―

A new leather sole, heels, welt replacement and toe caps for this Cowboy!
π€ Step into the Wild West with a brief history of Cowboy Boots! π΅π’ These iconic boots have a rich heritage dating back to the 1800s. Originally designed for practicality, they were crafted to withstand the rugged demands of the American frontier. With their high heels and pointed toes, cowboy boots allowed riders to stay secure in the stirrups while providing protection from brush, snakes, and harsh weather. Over time, they became a fashion statement, symbolizing the spirit of the American cowboy. Today, Cowboy Boots continue to make a bold statement, blending tradition, style, and a touch of Western adventure! Yeehaw! πβ¨ #CowboyBootHistory #WildWestVibes
