Heels
Louboutin’s shoes are best known for their signature red soles, and yet these are first to go in terms of wear, with the red colour quickly wearing away within a few wears. We protected the original leather soles on this pair by installing a pair of thin, glossy rubber soles over the top.
The leather covering the toes on these Christian Louboutin Nosy 120 pumps was heavily scratched after an accident. We re-covered the toe area on both shoes with entirely new leather.
These Jimmy Choo Maiara 90 ankle boots came with protective rubber pieces that sit well within the perimeter of the soles and are depressed, leaving the leather around the edges of those soles unprotected. We installed rubber sole protectors covering the whole front half of each sole.
These Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies studded pumps were looking great, except that the soles protectors were coming apart and the heel tips were worn down. We replaced the heel tips and the sole protectors with a finish deserving of such an elegant pair of shoes.
The heels on these Christian Louboutin Senora 100 pumps were in bad shape, with the heel tips completely missing and the leather around the heel blocks peeling apart. We repaired the heel blocks and replaced the heel tips.
The heel blocks on these Sophia Webster Rosalind sandals were just a little too tall for the wearer. We shortened the heels for the customer, making the shoes much more comfortable.
These Gucci Marmont leather sandals were starting to look a little worn, with the leather dirty and scuffed — particularly around the toes and heel blocks. We cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout the shoes to remove any excess dirt before touching up the remaining discolouration.
These Valentino Rockstud Ankle Strap sandals were looking great, except for one of the heel blocks, which had been chewed up by a puppy. We re-covered the heel blocks with entirely new leather and replaced the rubber heel caps.
The glitter leather on these So Kate 120 shoes had accumulated around the heel blocks and sides of the shoes significant dirt that was difficult to remove. We carefully treated the leather around the shoes to remove the dirt and get the shoes looking fresh and clean.
The heel caps and insoles on these Prada studded heels were worn, leaving the shoes imbalanced, difficult to walk in, and dangerously close to having the leather heel blocks irreversibly damaged. We re-heeled the shoes and replaced the insoles.
