Cobblers......
 
All my shoes seem to be wearing a little thin and I was wondering if anyone had a good chap/chapette who does a decent job at a 'reasonable' (I know we are in Dubai!) rate preferably around the Marina/Barsha area.....

Does anyone have a favourite?!?!

For those of you with the comedy responses - Peach! :D

no idea about marine/barsha.
satwa however is full of cobbler/key cuters and watch repair men (they tend to all be in the same shop)

No, I've seen at least two shops. They can't all be in the same shop it'd be crowded and smelly.

I am told that the key shop at Ibn Battuta (Andalusia Court section) near Geant hypermarket and opposite the childrens' play area, put tips on shoe heels/toes...but for replacement soles etc.... they send them away for repair, but you collect them the next day or a few days later at the same shop.
