35 years experience as it says on the sign

"I’ve now had two pairs of boots repaired by Valentinos and couldn’t be happier with the results. The workmanship is excellent, the repairs have been beautifully done, and the pricing is very reasonable."

"I took my RM Williams boots into the shop for new elastic, inner sole and a bit of a tidy up. Valentinos did a great job and had them ready in 2x days. Lovely to have the owner and craftsman running the business rather than some anonymous chain."
