SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Zamberlan boot repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently repaired a customer’s Zamberlan boots.
The boots
The outer soles on these Zamberlan Tofane boots were worn and coming apart at the toes, where the midsoles have been worn into. When the customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to repair the midsoles and replace the outer soles with entirely new Vibram rubber outer soles.
Sole replacement
We began by carefully removing the worn-out black rubber outer soles, taking care to preserve the existing midsoles. The front portion of the midsoles had sustained considerable wear, but not yet in the process of disintegrating, so we cut away the damaged section and replaced it with new black EVA material. This allowed us to maintain the original profile of the soles and give the new outer soles a stable base to which they can be securely bonded.
Once the midsole repairs were complete, we prepped the surface and installed brand new Vibram Foura outer soles. Vibram soles are known for their traction and toughness, and this particular style is ideal for hiking and outdoor use.
