Consult a cobbler: Shoe repair shops in Calgary

We put our shoes through a lot in Calgary, from the ice and slush of winter to the dust and heat of summer. Inevitably, they require care and repair. Rather than retire your favourite footwear once it’s a bit worn, visit these shops where professional, experienced cobblers will get them looking brand new.

This shop in the Beltline neighbourhood just south of downtown is quick and convenient with great prices. Open until 7 pm on weekdays, Ace is handy for after work drop-offs.
