These R.M. Williams Craftsman boots were still looking good after much wear, but in need of some general restoration work and the elastic, soles and heels were in need of replacement. We performed a full nailed resole, replaced the elastics and performed leather restoration work.
These Hermès Neo ankle boots were almost brand new, but the leather soles and heels were unprotected and immediately began to show signs of wear / discolouration after only a few wears. We re-contoured the leather soles and heels and installed a pair of premium sole and heel protectors.
These RM Williams Comfort Craftsman boots were in relatively good shape, but as the leather uppers had naturally dried and the boots continued to be worn, the leather around the sides of the toes starts to crease, and then crack and eventually tear. We repaired the tears by patching the inner lining and then polishing around the outer leather.
These Dr. Martens 1460 Mono boots were looking good, except the soles had become flat and lost their grip over time. We performed a resole, replacing the worn soles with an entirely new pair of highly durable rubber soles.
These Tillston 6’’ Hiker Boots were in good shape, but had the padded leather around the back of one of the boots chewed off. We re-constructed the padded leather with new leather and padding.
The soles and heels on these Joseph Cheaney & Sons Hanover Balmoral boots were looking well worn and in need of a refresh. We performed a full resole and reheel with premium, Joh Rendenbach leather replacement parts.
These Django & Juliette boots were brand new, but in need of a sole lift for them to be worn comfortably by their owner. We raised the soles and heels on the right boot by 1.5 centimetres.
These classic Timberland 6-Inch Waterproof boots were made to last years of regular wear, but the otherwise highly durable soles were showing significant wear around the back of the heels and centre of the soles. We performed a full resole, replacing the soles along the full length of each boot with a new pair of Vibram 100 Montagna rubber soles.
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.
