Shoetrees is run by its owners Malcolm and Joanne who have been in the current premises since 2005. Malcolm who was born and raised in Dorchester has been in the shoe repair business since the age of 17, where he started apprenticing as a cobbler under the watchful eyes of my father.
We are really proud to be an independent retailer in Dorchester and we thank all our customers for supporting us in our journey.
When Malcolm is not at work, he enjoys working tirelessly in the garden and looking after 2 donkeys (Leo and Brady from the Donkey Sanctuary), 3 dogs and plenty of chickens, ducks and geese.
We’ve updated the layout of our shop since this was taken but to get an idea of what our shop is, Love Dorch did a series of walk throughs of local shops which you can visit below.
