Restore the shine of your favourite dress shoes with our premium cobbler service. We offer expert repairs, quality care and artisanal craftsmanship to extend the life of your favourite shoes.
Timeless wardrobe staples, recognisable by their closed lacing, Galoche & Patin repairs your Oxford-style dress shoes (also called Oxfords). We take care of your classic Oxfords or brogue Oxfords for all types of repair and maintenance.
Galoche & Patin repairs and maintains your Derby shoes, whether in a classic shape, with a plain toe, or with a wingtip toe.
You can also find all repair services for loafers in our cobbler service. Whether dressy or more casual, we take care of your leather and suede loafers.
Single buckle or double buckle, leather Monk or suede Monk, our teams of cobblers take care of your Monk shoes.
Our cobbler service offers all repairs for your shoes. You can entrust your shoes to us for:
New shoes or worn soles? At Galoche & Patin, you can choose the sole protectors for your shoes.
We offer crepe, smooth, or ribbed sole protectors.
Our cobblers carefully work the splice and join so that your sole protectors are virtually undetectable on your soles.
We mainly work with Vibram sole protectors, which ensure durability and quality for your shoes.
Galoche & Patin offers resoling on all shoe models.
Our workshop repairs and replaces your leather, crepe and rubber soles.
For leather resoling, we work with the Joh Rendenbach tannery, a master of traditional oak-bark pit tanning.
For rubber resoling, we work in partnership with Vibram and have a wide choice of models in both design and colour.
Our service also offers crepe resoling. Very comfortable and hard-wearing, crepe soles also provide excellent grip when walking.
Our teams of cobblers offer all the usual cobbler repairs for your shoe heels:
This shaping makes it easier to wear and more comfortable, especially across the width of the foot.
Our teams place your shoes on a last and gradually stretch the material by a few millimetres using a softener.
This service generally takes between 24 and 48 hours. This operation is also possible to stretch the leather over the instep or calf.
Dyeing revives the colour of your shoes or helps conceal stains. It is possible on leather shoes as well as suede ones.
Permanent dyeing or a colour renovator: we offer the most suitable solution for your shoes. Our cobblers will define the desired shade with you and, if necessary, provide colour samples for prior approval.
We can customise:
The heel tip is the final layer of the heel that serves as the wear layer. It is therefore in direct contact with the ground when you walk. It is most often made of rubber and needs to be replaced if it is too worn or scuffed.
Our cobblers remove the damaged heel tip and replace it with a new one so that your heels regain their original appearance.
Our teams of cobblers can handle specific repairs on request.
If you need a bespoke repair for your shoes, please send us several photos showing your shoes via the “chat” on our website or by private message on Instagram or Facebook.
Our cobblers methodically brush your shoes with a stiff dirt-removal brush.
They then apply a special leather cleansing milk to remove all traces of polish and nourish the leather. This cleaning removes residual stains and softens the leather. It also helps slightly reduce creases and scuffs on your shoes.
We also clean your suede shoes (brushing, Sommières clay or specific steam cleaning) and restore their colour.
Galoche & Patin also offers bespoke patina for your shoes. Tell us what you would like in terms of colouring, pattern and contrast, and we will provide a personalised quote for your patina request.
Our teams of cobblers clean with a stiff dirt-removal brush. They then apply a cleansing milk to soften the leather and remove residual polish marks. A fine cream is then applied to revive the colour. Shine is then achieved through vigorous buffing with a polishing brush. A wax polish can then be applied in small touches to perfect the shine. All polishing is carried out to the highest standards by our artisan cobblers.
High-shine polishing adds gloss to your leather shoes. Our cobblers alternately work wax polish, water and buffing on your shoes. This technique, which requires precision and mastery, restores an incomparable shine to your shoes.

Masterful work on my Weston 607: English-style heel pads perfectly done—they’re like new. I’m eagerly awaiting the resoling of my Church’s Grafton, then we’ll move on to cleaning my leather jackets. Living outside Paris, I’m delighted to have found REAL artisan cobblers—don’t hesitate to entrust them with your “shoes”; they do the JOB. Thanks to the whole Galoche Patin team.
Excellent service: my Paraboots restored like new. And excellent communication.
I thought my pair of beige suede Santoni loafers was beyond saving, and I was amazed by the result. Thank you.
Thank you to the whole team for their professionalism and speed. I contacted them about a pair of shoes, they replied very quickly, and their after-sales service is great—super responsive and attentive. I was able to get my shoes in time for my holiday. Thank you, and I’ll use them again in the future. You can go with your eyes closed—I recommend them.
Excellent service!!! Galoche Patin brought back life and style to not one but two pairs of fairly worn, poorly maintained Timberlands.
Top-notch collection and delivery service
Very nice restoration work on a badly damaged pair of Westons—now like new thanks to you, perfect at-home service
