Dave very well may be one of the last true cobblers in Victoria. It’s highly evident he takes true pride in his craft and only strives for the best there is. This was my very first experience working with a cobbler and the process was seamless and easy. I’ll be going to Dave for all of my future boot repairs. Cheers!
Had a pair of my Boulet Cowboy boots Resoled for the first time Dave and I couldn’t be happier with the work. Quality of the work with the addition of phenomenal customer service. I had called three time within a two week period for a status update on my boots and each time I got a very respectful update. I can’t recommend oak bay cobbler enough for their amazing quality of work and customer service. Also just a bonus he even gave them a beautiful shining
A kind and communicative human will help you with your shoe, your bag, or belt and offer a laugh or story to pass the time. In three visits to this business, a service was offered free of charge, another ‘on honour’ (as the till was closed and a “come back later and pay” was extended), and some very skilled leather work was met with a helpful lesson in shoe polish colour matching.
