Delivering the highest standard in Canberra since 2003
Welcome aboard the time machine! Let’s take a trip back to the vibrant ’80s, where Falkingham’s Shoe Service was more than just a shop—it was the launching pad for an iconic career. Imagine young Jhay, a spirited apprentice, navigating the cobblestone paths of the shoe repair world under the tutelage of the dynamic duo, Frank Pinto and Rocco Reale. These maestros weren’t just teaching him the ins and outs of shoe repair; they were moulding him into a craftsman fuelled by passion, dedication, and an unwavering respect for the art of cobbling.
After mastering his craft at Falkingham’s, Jhay embarked on a whirlwind journey through the bustling streets of Sydney, flitting from one repair shop to another like a modern-day Johnny Appleseed of shoe repair. Why the constant movement, you ask? Well, it turns out Jhay had another passion brewing—a budding DJ career that demanded his attention! Picture this: by day, he’s resoling shoes with precision; by night, he’s spinning tracks and mesmerising crowds on the dance floor. Talk about a double life!
Then, in the pivotal year of 1998, as Jhay’s DJ career hit its stride, he made a bold decision to plant his flag at Shoeworx in Chifley Plaza. And just like that, Shoeworx became the holy grail of repair shops, attracting the crème de la crème of shoe brands—RM William’s, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Ferragamo—you name it, they flocked to Jhay’s doorstep for top-notch repairs. Shoemaking royalty, indeed!
In 2003, with his cobbling tools in tow and a skip in his step, Jhay waltzed into Canberra and assumed the helm of Dickson Shoe Repairs, rebranding it with a touch of flair as “Jhay the Cobbler.” The shoe empire was expanding, and the nation’s capital was about to experience firsthand the magic of Jhay’s craftsmanship.
Fast forward to 2022, and behold—a new chapter unfolds as Jhay sets up shop in the vibrant hub of Cooleman Court in Weston. With decades of expertise and a heart full of passion, Jhay brings his unrivalled skills to a new community, ensuring that the legacy of quality shoe repair lives on. Weston, prepare to be dazzled!
And there you have it—the remarkable journey of Jhay, the Cobbler, from humble beginnings at Falkingham’s to the bustling centre of Cooleman Court, with a side of DJ stardom thrown in for good measure. So lace up your shoes, and join us as we stroll down memory lane—one perfectly repaired sole at a time!

A new leather sole, heels, welt replacement and toe caps for this Cowboy!
🤠 Step into the Wild West with a brief history of Cowboy Boots! 🌵👢 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.
