Gorgie Cobblers

I haven’t used them for the cobblers services but for key cutting they are very quick and efficient. It was about £15 for 5 keys to be cut and only took a couple of minutes. All the keys worked perfectly so you can’t ask for more.
They charge 50p for card payments of less that £10 but there is a cash point two shops along at Scotmid. Also be aware that they close at 1pm on Saturday’s.

This review should be as short as my key-​cutting experience. And… done.
No, seriously. If you want a key cut and happen to live on the Gorgie side of town, I reckon this is the place you should go. I had a quick look about for places to go to replace my house key, and seeing the wee miniature (albeit slightly creepy) stuffed cobbler in the window, well, I had to give Gorgie Cobblers a go. If you can’t trust a cobbler with a miniature cobbler in the window, who can you?!
I breezed in and my keys were expertly cut all within about one minute flat by a very nice woman at the front – I was actually startled when she said «all done!». She recommended I test them when I got home, and doing that and nothing being amiss, I’d say that seals the deal for Gorgie Cobblers for me. I’ll have to reserve judgement on the shoe biz – but if I ever had shoe technical difficulties, I warrant this would be my first stop.

Chances are Gorgie Cobblers have been around on Gorgie Road for as long as Gorgie Road has been in Gorgie. A fixture on the street, always calm and friendly, knowledgable about their trades and a straightforward approach to their customers. I’ve returned a fair few times and always been well looked, after as have my shoes (more importantly).

Much as I like killer heels, I also kill my heels and last night was no exception. My red patent leather Mary Jane’s got wrecked on the Edinburgh cobbles and as they were planned to be in a suitcase on a plane to Amsterdam for the ultimate conference outfit, I was in a state of panic.
Gorgie Cobblers have repaired a few pairs of my shoes (always the heels) and a couple of bags where the straps have broken. Normally I’d leave said items in the shop and collect after a couple of days, but I didn’t want to be mourning my left behind shoes at 35,000ft.
Luckily the very nice man said he would repair my shoes pretty much then and there. If I was charged any more than normal (don’t think I was), it would be lucky if it was an extra £1. £6.95 for stiletto’s to be repaired and they are now waiting to go in the suitcase. Thanks Gorgie Cobblers :-D

I’m always losing things, it’s a good thing I don’t live alone because I am always borrowing my flatmates keys to get them cut! Gorgie Cobblers is a great shop and offers a variety of services, thankfully one of them being key cutting, and it cost £3.95 for a cut of a Yale key. They also cut car keys, which not all key cutters do these days.
Gorgie Cobblers is a really good, convenient local business and make repairs to more than just shoes, they are also happy to repair watches and replace broken watch straps.
Inside, the shop smells lovely, I used to work in a shoe shop when I was younger and the smell of all the chemicals to do the repairs is one of my favourites, enough to make me want to come into Gorgie Cobblers even if I don’t need anything.

Reasonably priced, good and friendly staff. Gorgie Cobblers is one of those shops that seems to have been around forever and who the locals have learned to trust. They can be a little busy at times, but always seem to have a fast turn around. I’ve used them for everything from cutting keys to repairing shoes and they’ve always done excellent work.
