Boot tear repair

Customer location

Zetland in Sydney, New South Wales

The boots

The leather around the top of one of these Dr Martens boots had been chewed right off by a naughty pup. When the customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to repair the damage by patching the tears with new leather.

Chewed leather repair

We began by sourcing piece of textured leather similar to the original leather. We then cut the patch into shape, making it slightly larger than the damaged area, to ensure any weak leather around the tear was also covered. Finally, we installed the patch, stitching the sides along the original stitching lines and creating a new stitching line at the base, for reinforcement.
