Popular Church’s Shoe Repair Services
We perform all sorts of shoe repair and restoration services, but here are a few of the most popular services we offer for Church’s shoes.
Soles
We repair soles and resole Church's shoes, with half or full soles, using premium materials — including Vibram / Topy and Dainite studded rubber soles and JR leather soles. Learn more about our shoe resole, shoe sole repair, shoe sole protectors and shoe toe plates services.
Inner linings
We repair and re-line interiors of Church's shoes, most often around the wearer's toes and heels. We craft leather patches and heel counters from suede, custom cut to fit the shoes.
Water / stain protection
We treat leather with water and stain protectors to help ensure the leather uppers on Church's shoes continue to look fresh despite the effects of everyday wear.
Heels
We reheel Church's shoes, building up or replacing worn heel blocks and replacing heel caps with premium full rubber and quarter-rubber (three-quarters leather) heel caps. Learn more about our shoe heel replacement and repair services.
Cleaning / restoration
We polish/shine scuffed leather uppers on Church's shoes. We also clean, condition and even recolour the leather where it is heavily scuffed, cracked or discoloured. Learn more about our shoe restoration and cleaning services.
Stretching
We use special machinery to accelerate the otherwise painfully slow process of breaking in leather, helping to immediately improve the fit of your Church's shoes.

- Once we've reviewed your order, we'll email you instructions for getting your Church's shoes to us. If you live in Sydney, you'll have the option to drop the shoes off at our workshop. Otherwise, you'll be able to drop them off at a local Australia Post office, where they'll be packaged and shipped over to us for free.

The time it takes to complete a Church's shoe repair depends on the work required and the workload in the workshop when the shoes are received.
We are generally able to complete basic repairs on Church's within 2-5 business days of receiving them at the workshop. This extends to 1-2 weeks for most specialist repairs and longer for more complex repairs and restorations.
If you will be using our free shipping service (rather than dropping off and picking up your shoes at the workshop), then you should also factor in shipping time via Australia Post. This varies depending on your location, but generally takes no more than a few business days if you're in a metropolitan area and otherwise up to 5 business days (if you're in a regional or remote area).
We use only the highest quality materials, including premium leathers, soles and heels — including soles and heel made especially for Church's shoes.
Yes, we stock a wide range of premium leather care products you can use to extend the life of your Church's shoes. We'd be happy to ship these to you. Simply mention what you're looking for while completing our online order form (if you're also planning to get your shoes repaired), or reach out (if you're not planning to get your shoes repaired).

Yes, you can drop off and pick up your shoes at our workshop in Martin Place, Sydney provided that:
- You first complete your order online;

- We have emailed you a ticket that you'll need to print out and hand over at the workshop for ID and proof of payment.
