SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Dolce & Gabbana shoe repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently repaired a customer’s Dolce & Gabbana shoes.

The shoes

The soles on these Dolce & Gabbana shoes were unprotected, leaving them vulnerable to accelerated wear and tear. When this customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis / quote, we offered to install a pair of premium, gold sole protectors to significantly enhance both durability and grip.

Protective sole installation

We started by sanding down the front half of the leather soles to create a shallow recess, allowing the new protective rubber soles to be installed flush with the original leather soles at the back. This ensured the shoes' silhouette and balance remained unaffected. For this repair, we used Italian-made Casali sole protectors, which feature a glossy finish and a glittery gold colour that blends in better with the original soles than standard protectors.
