A Stoke-on-Trent shoe repair shop has been making waves in the community with its exceptional service and dedication to restoring beloved footwear.

Wilshaws, based on Kingsway in Stoke, offers a huge range of services including engraving, key cutting, shoe repairs and maintenance.

Here are some of the heartwarming stories shared by the shop on Facebook recently:

One Pair of Expensive Hugo Boss Trainers Saved!

Owners, Steve and Janet Wilshaw, recently saved a pair of pricey Hugo Boss trainers from potential ruin, much to the delight of their owner. The trainers now look good as new, thanks to Steve's skilled hands.

Fixing Glue Mishaps

Among their numerous jobs this week, Wilshaws tackled a particularly tricky repair. Someone had tried to fix their shoes but left unsightly glue marks behind. Janet and Steve stepped in and meticulously cleaned up the mess, restoring the shoes to their former glory.

End-of-Term Shoe Rescue

With the end of the school term approaching, many parents are hesitant to buy new shoes for their children. Wilshaws offers a practical solution by repairing old shoes at a fraction of the cost of new ones. After a busy weekend, Janet and Steve are back in their workshop, ready to fix shoes for the wonderful people of Stoke.
