SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable ASICS sneaker repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently repaired a customer’s ASICS running shoes.
The shoes
The outer soles on these ASICS running shoes were worn down, leaving little grip under the toes and balls of the feet. When the customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to resole the shoes, levelling off the worn soles and installing a new pair of Vibram trail running soles over the top.
Resole
The outer soles on these shoes had heavily worn along their entire length, where the original tread had been almost entirely lost. With the midsoles above them still in good shape, there was no need to replace the soles entirely — we could ‘re-tread’ them instead.
We began by levelling off the worn outer soles to create a flat, even surface. We then applied a specialist adhesive to the surfaces, and used a specialist sole press machine to securely bond the Vibram outer soles to the midsoles. We specifically used the Vibram Zegama soles, which are specially made for trail running and available in a bright green that matched the shoes’ original outer soles.
