Manfred's Shoe Lounge

I HATE spending money shopping, except here at Manfred's. Best value shoes in MEL (especially Jeffery~West range).

Incredible range of the most gorgeous shoes and boots. A must see for anyone who takes there footwear seriously. Manfred was so helpful and welcoming definitely coming back here. Do yourself a favour and check this place out.

Top Class local shoe store, very experienced and knowledgeable staff, full of quality shoes, men & womens, especially kids shoes, & have a deep breath to smell the leather.

HIGH END SHOES FOR SALE AS WELL AS SHORE REPAIR
Located within the large North Melbourne Town Hall building, this shop sells new shoes as well as offering repairs and shoe polishing.
Friendly service

I stopped off at Manfred's with a hole in my RM's, ended up buying a new pair of Harold's Boots and socks in addition to the repair, got some keys cut and had a really pleasant experience! Luke was incredibly helpful and I learnt a lot about shoes (which I used to take for granted). I now even find myself coveting a pair of Barkers even though I don't need dress shoes!

I hope I will be a regular patron!

Friendly service, efficient and polite staff, good there is still a cobbler shop like Manfreds!

Service is AWESOME. Wide range of quality shoes for all. Prices are reasonable for its quality. Will definitely recommend them!

Manfred's Shoe Lounge is an amazing wonderland of beautiful boots and shoes! A true destination for shoe enthusiasts with great service and friendly staff.

Manfred and crew are masters of their craft. Fantastic repairs and prices. Would highly recommend!

One step in Manfred's Shoe Lounge and you will be transformed by the sights and smells. There's nothing quite like a classic, well-made English leather shoe! Gorgeous selection of shoes, excellent shoe repairs services and great customer service. Would highly recommend!

I got some shoes fixed from here recently which I am ultimately happy with, but something about the service did not sit right with me. I first placed the shoes in the hands of manfred to be repaired and the shop attendee said that the boss will need to call me back on whether or not that shoe can be fixed as the sole was cracked and seemed too far gone. He said if it costs more than $85 to fix they will definitely call me, but if not I can probably pick up by that weekend. A week passed and I called on the weekend to see if I can pick up the shoes. I called and it seemed my shoes weren't even looked at. The person on the phone said their boss will call me on Monday. I waited til Wednesday before I called again.

When I called the person said the sole cannot be repaired and needs to be completely replaced, and it could cost $95 or more. I told him I wanted to come in on the weekend to check what kind of heel he would replace it with. The person on the phone agreed and said that would be fine as the boss will be in the store that weekend.

So that Saturday I went into the shop to see what heel they would offer me only to find that the shoe's heel was already replaced. I was happy that it could be repaired so just paid the $95 (he said he gave me a discount even though it should cost more, implying it was because he went ahead with the repairs without checking with me).

The more I wear it though the more I wish I was given the choice on whether or not to go ahead with the repair. The original heel had a more delicate look and added a different feel to the shoe now. The heel that it was replaced with is a standard, much flatter and rough design than the original heel. Ultimately I am amazed it was able to be fixed, but fixing it without my expressed ok to do so, after making an agreement to meet and chat about it before the repair isn't a very trustworthy move. Also even though I'm happy with my shoe's new lease on life, the craftsmanship isn't perfect as I found a chip on the new sole and some remnants of glue.

I feel I would've been much happier with the outcome had communication been better and everything was more transparent.

I had my key cut there. Super friendly guy, got it done in a few seconds. The shop smelled so nicely after new leather shoes and it reminded me of the old shoemakers from when I was a kid. Also the shoes looked lovely.

Best shoe repair in town. Top quality craftsmanship, friendly staff, and they had Pearl Jam pumping when I picked up my shoes! Wouldn't get my shoes repaired anywhere else. Highly recommended.

A good selection of good year welted English made shoes. Highly recommended them for their fantastic service and assistance.

Good wormanship but terrible customer service from my experience. Handed my shoes over to have topy soles put on and was told they would be ready by Wednesday for a job that takes no more than 30 minutes. By the time i went to pick them up they still werent ready and had to wait 10 minutes whilst they finished them. Victoria St shoes promised it within 30 mins. Should have gone there:/

This guy is the Superman of shoes, excellent craftsmanship and service. I highly recommend this business.

I had my brown Saba work shoes resoled after wearing through them. First class workmanship and high quality materials. Would recommend. The shoes look great now, polished and everything!

Absolutely fantastic, highly recommended. Manfred repaired my goodyear welted shoes to an impeccable standard. Dont take your shoes anywhere else!

Recently had my Crockett & Jones Brogues repaired as I had been naughty in not getting them repaired while in London or.looked after them. Fantastic staff, great owner. They did a full sole repair and polish and brought them back to life! Very happy!
