Boots
The leather uppers on these Saint Laurent western boots were tearing around the sides of the wearer’s toes, where the boots tended to bend. We repaired the leather, sealing up with the lining with leather patches and then using a leather filler to repair the gaps in the outer leather.
These Red Wing Moc Toe boots were starting to look old and tired with the leather scuffed and discoloured and the original soles heavily worn down, to the point where the leather uppers were starting to be worn into. We restored the leather uppers and replaced the soles.
The leather on these Red Wing 1178 boots was starting to look a little unhealthy while the soles and heels were heavily worn. We cleaned, conditioned and polished the leather uppers before performing a full resole, replacing the heels and soles with entirely new ones.
The rubber soles on these Blundstone boots had begun to disintegrate, beyond repair. We replaced the soles with a pair of new Vibram rubber soles.
These Chippewa Service boots were built to withstand the most rugged terrains and work, but over years the original rubber soles and heels had worn down, needing replacement. We performed a full resole, replacing the heels and soles with entirely new ones.
These RM Williams Comfort Craftsman boots were stained due to spilled butter. We cleaned the suede and treated it with a stain remover, effectively getting rid of the stain.
These RM Williams Craftsman boots had the toes of the right boot chewed by a family pet and thus heavily damaged. We used a leather filler and some careful leather polishing and recolouring to repair the gouged leather.
The soles and heels on these RM Williams Adelaide boots had worn down and needed replacing. We replaced the heels with new RM Williams rubber heels and performed a half re-sole, adding a new pair of leather half soles.
These Barker Hopper Chelsea boots had leather soles and quarter-rubber heels that were in need of replacement. We perform a full re-sole, replacing the heels and soles along the entire length of each boot with a fresh pair of quarter-rubber heels and single-piece leather soles.
These RM Williams Craftsman boots had been mauled by a puppy, leaving the leather around the toes chewed right off. We repair the mauled leather, smoothing out and then filling the gaps before recolouring / refinishing the leather.
