Ara's Shoe Repairs

Ara's Shoe Repairs, on Glen Huntly Road in Glen Huntly, is first and foremost a traditional shoe and leather repair workshop — reviewers describe Ara resoling worn boots, repairing velcro on sandals, and reviving footwear that other repairers had written off. Among this leatherwork, one customer specifically records having a wristwatch strap repaired at the shop, describing the result as quick, reasonably priced, and looking perfect. This makes Ara's a leather and repair specialist whose skills extend to watch straps and bands as one service among its broader trade, rather than a dedicated watch repair business. There is no evidence of movement servicing, battery replacement, or other watchmaking work in available records — only the one documented strap repair. For anyone in Melbourne's Glen Huntly area with a leather or fabric watch strap in need of repair, alongside the shop's core footwear and leather goods work, Ara's is a modest but grounded option to have on file.
