The burnishing around the toes and the back of these RM Williams Chinchilla boots had faded due to an unfortunate mishap with a leather conditioner. We restored the uppers by stripping back the colour and then re-dyeing, re-burnishing and re-polishing the leather.
These Dr Martens boots were essentially unwearable, with the outer soles worn down and the midsoles coming apart from the uppers. We repaired the midsoles and performed a full resole, replacing the soles along the entire length of each boot.
The soles on these Camper boots were cracking and falling apart. We replaced the soles with a new pair of full-length rubber soles custom made to fit the boots.
The soles on these RM Williams Stockyard boots were worn down and in need of replacement. We performed a full resole, replacing the soles with a new pair of custom-made rubber soles.
These RM Williams Craftsman boots were mauled by a playful pup, who managed to tear off a chunk of leather and a pull tab from around the back of one of the boots. We repaired the damaged leather and replaced the missing pull tab.
Regular wear had left the suede on these RM Williams boots stained and discoloured. We re-dyed the suede to black, to produce a consistent colour and finish throughout the boots and give the boots a fresh look.
These RM Williams Comfort Craftsman boots were covered in mould and the leather uppers had lost much of their colour. We cleaned and conditioned the boots before specially treating the mould and then re-dyeing and polishing the leather uppers.
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.
