About the Business

The shoe cobbling sector in Australia is part of the broader clothing and footwear repair industry, which comprises around 763 businesses nationwide. As of 2024, the industry is valued at approximately $346.5 million, with a modest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.9% over the past five years.

There is a revival of interest in repairs driven by slow fashion and sustainability trends, which is expected to support future growth.
Many cobblers are small, independent businesses, often family-run and with decades of experience. Services typically include sole and heel replacement, leather restoration, stretching, recolouring, and custom orthopaedic footwear.
