Colin Wordley – Award Winning Cobbler

Colin qualified as a shoemaker in 1982 and then became a traditional cobbler. He now owns Grays Shoe Repairs in Cheltenham, a small family run business that can be found on the High Street.

Colin’s vast knowledge and experience of repairing shoes enabled him to win the ‘Punch Shoe Repairer of the Year’ for 3 consecutive years from 1999 – and he was then asked not to enter, to let someone else try and win!

He estimates that Grays would repair approximately 10,000 shoes a year!
