Seriously. Apparently shoe repair places do not do stitching. heel, buckles, no problem. Stitching = no.

Sandal strap broke due to the stitching going kablooey. (soles also coming apart) Went down Grays Inn road and tried 3 shoe places. All of which said no. At least the last place told me re : the soles that I might as well do it myself with rubber glue.

Eventually found a bag shop that'd do it for a tenner. but I won't get them back til Friday.

I'm bloody sure the place in oxford circus tube did when they repaired the strap on my wedges.

I'd have expected a good shoe repair place to be able to do stitching, and to be able to bang in a few nails for that matter!

Glad you found somewhere to repair them, but I suppose that meant you had to buy new shoes to wear while your sandals are being repaired? Or did you come into London with other shoes on ...
