Shoe repair

A good shoe does not need to be thrown away. Bring it to Duka Yangu and we will see what can be done.

Repairs we handle

Worn or loose soles — resoling and glueing
Stitching that has come apart
Heel repairs
Broken sandal straps and buckles
General tidying up so the shoe looks smart again

How it works

Bring the shoes to the shop near the main stage. We will look at them, tell you honestly whether they are worth repairing, and give you the price and the time before we start. Small jobs can often be done while you wait; bigger jobs may need you to come back later the same day.

If a shoe is beyond saving, we will say so — and you can look at what we have on the shelf instead.

Cost

Repair prices depend on the job and the materials. Call 0798 733672, describe the problem, and we will give you an idea of the cost before you travel.

Payment by cash or M-Pesa.

A word to parents

School shoes take a beating. A fresh sole mid-term often costs far less than a new pair, and the child keeps a shoe that is already broken in. Bring them in early, before the damage spreads.
