One of the best things about Holbeach is that it has one of the widest ranges of independent businesses in the region.

That includes Colin Johnson and his wife Stephanie who run Johnson's - the shoe repairers in Holbeach. Colin's been in the trade for an amazing 45 years plus!

The shop was actually started by Colin's dad in 1921 and Colin's proud to have taken on the responsibility of providing good quality shoe repairs at economical prices.

Colin takes the traditional attitude to his work - good craftsmanship combined with attention to detail. He believes in taking the quality approach to his work.

There aren't many repairs that Johnsons can't do and that includes modern welded construction shoes. So if you want an honest answer to whether that pair of shoes can be repaired or not - why not nip them in to him for an opinion? The same goes for any small leather items that you might have.

Stephanie or Steph to her friends is a relative newcomer to the business as she only started in 1981! Steph's learnt the trade from Colin and is also very able to carry out the repairs that you need.

The shop also sells a good range of leather goods including purses, wallets and shopping bags.

Also in stock all year round is a good range of mens and ladies slippers.

If you're looking for that special fashion shade of polish to restore your pride and glory there's a good chance that Johnsons will have it - or will be able to get it for you, as well as laces, foam, inserts and other sundry items to care for your shoes.

Opening Hours:

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9.00 am till 5.00 pm except lunch 12.00 - 1.00. Wednesday closed all day Saturday 9.00 am till 4.00 pm (not closed for lunch)

So time perhaps to get that neglected pair of shoes in for a much needed makeover - Johnsons aim to do all repairs within 2 working days. If you've got a problem pair - why not nip them in for an opinion?
