Shoe repairs in town?

    Heya,
    I've been meaning to get a pair of winkle pickers re-heeled and the sole reattached (wore them everyday, running for buses, even hill walking :p), I was just wondering if anyone knew the best place in or around town to get this done? I'd rather get it done as cheaply as possible in a decent place, so not cheap in spite of quality (though I don't know how badly it could go wrong). I was thinking of a Chinese place on Thomas Street, but I just want to see if anyone knows a particularly good place!

    I was also thinking of the Shoe Hospital on Grattan Street. Does anyone know if they're good? Or still there, in fact?

    The Shoe Hospital is still open as far as I know. I can ask the owners daughter tomorrow for you if you want.

    I've always found C&D on Charlemont St do great repairs, prices not unreasonable either and the heels last for ages.
