SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Birkenstock shoe repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently repaired a customer’s Birkenstock shoes.
The shoes
The cork footbeds on these Birkenstocks were chewed by a naughty pup. When the customer reached out for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to repair the original footbeds and install a new pair of Birkenstock outer soles.
Full resole
We started by carefully removing the worn-out outer outsoles using a combination of heat and special pliers. We then repaired the damaged cork footbed by smoothing down the affected areas and replacing the damaged cork with new cork, which we could then sand down to match the original shape of the footbed. We finally fitted a new pair of Birkenstock outer soles, firmly bonding them into place and carefully sanding the edges to ensure a seamless fit
