Shoes
These RM Williams Harbour casual shoes were truly well worn, as could be seen from the state of the nubuck leather uppers and the soles, which were thoroughly ground down. We repaired the original soles, building them up to level them off before adding a pair of full-length overlaid rubber soles.
These sturdy RM Williams Adelaide Cuban boots were not immune to the effects of wear and tear. We restored them, with a full re-sole and re-heel followed by a careful leather restoration and waterproofing for ongoing protection.
These iconic Valentino Garavani ‘Rockstud’ flats had seen better days, with noticeable discolouration and accumulated dirt and grime. We performed a full restoration, cleaning and conditioning the calfskin leather before recolouring it.
These classic RM Williams boots had been worn for more than a decade, and were holding up reasonably well considering, but needed a full re-sole and re-heel to ensure they could continue to be worn for decades to come.
These Christian Louboutin were worn only once, but the heels and leather soles had already become visibly damaged. We cleaned the heels, replace the heel tips and repaired the soles with the addition of protective rubber soles for added longevity.
These Wittner boots were manufactured with stiletto heels that were pleasing to the eye but a little difficult to walk in. Having regard to the boot’s structure and the need for comfort and longevity, we replaced the stiletto heels with a thicker pair.
The soles and heels on these Church’s Oslo Gibson shoes had worn all the way through to the welt. We re-heeled the shoes and performed a half re-sole before protecting the new leather half soles with thin rubber soles over the top.
These Gucci penny loafers were originally light beige in colour but had become increasingly dirty and discoloured. We cleaned, conditioned and recoloured the suede to get the shoes restored.
These Chanel ballet flats had become significantly discoloured, due to fading of the leather and accumulated dirt and scratches. We performed a full restoration, cleaning and conditioning the leather before recolouring it.
The leather on these Fendi flats had been lightly scuffed, the heel area on the inner lining had torn and worn away, and the soles were slippery and in need of protection from further wear. We cleaned, conditioned and restored the colour on the leather, installed new custom leather heel grips and applied a pair of new protective rubber soles.
