Boots
The soles on the Timberland hiking boots were made to be highly durable in the sense that the tread should not be expected to wear away despite years of regular wear. However, one of the soles on these boots had started coming apart from the body of the boots at the toes. We re-secured the soles to the uppers.
These Bally knee-length boots were in great shape but a little too tight around the wearer’s calves. We modified the calves, making them wider around the top by installing a pair of v-shaped elastic gussets.
These RM Williams Gardener boots were looking far from fresh, with the uppers looking dry and discoloured and the soles and heels heavily worn down. We performed a full resole and then cleaned, conditioned and polished the leather uppers to help get them looking and feeling fresh.
The leather uppers on these RM Williams Craftsman boots were heavily creased and starting to crack, especially around the vamp — where the boots tend to bend. We cleaned and conditioned the leather to help prevent further damage and specially treat the leather to minimise the visibility of the damage to the leather.
The soles on these ECCO Rise Tall boots were heavily worn and starting to break apart at the toes. We performed a full resole — installing a pair of midsoles with durable rubber outer soles over the top.
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.
