These Valentino flats, no less elegant without any signature rockstuds, needed protection around the leather soles, which had been worn merely a few times but already showing noticeable signs of wear. We added a pair of thin protective soles over the top of the original leather soles.
These Barker Hopper Chelsea boots had leather soles and quarter-rubber heels that were in need of replacement. We perform a full re-sole, replacing the heels and soles along the entire length of each boot with a fresh pair of quarter-rubber heels and single-piece leather soles.
These Gucci Jordaan loafers had been previously colour restored with materials that left the leather looking dull and discoloured where the added colour had rubbed off over time. We stripped the leather uppers of their colour, and then cleaned and conditioned the leather before recolouring / refinishing it.
The soles on these Church’s Burwood Oxford brogues were looking aged and the heel caps in particular were worn and starting to tear. We performed a full re-sole, replacing the heels and soles along the entire length of each shoe with new rubber heels and single-piece leather soles.
These RM Williams Craftsman boots had been mauled by a puppy, leaving the leather around the toes chewed right off. We repair the mauled leather, smoothing out and then filling the gaps before recolouring / refinishing the leather.
These Christian Louboutin Dandelion loafers had been worn only once, but the unprotected red bottoms were likely to quickly lose their colour and eventually wear down. We protected the res soles with a pair of thin protective rubber soles over the top.
The soles and heels on these Loake Chelsea boots needed replacing. We performed a full re-sole, replacing the original rubber heels and leather soles with a pair of new Dainite soles and heels covering the entire length of each boot.
The heel caps and rubber soles on these RM Williams Comfort Craftsman boots had worn out. We re-heeled the boots with original RM Williams rubber heels and performed a half re-sole using Topy rubber half soles.
These Christian Louboutin Dandelion Spikes Loafers had been worn only a handful of times, but the clear, plastic protective soles previously added to them were not adding much in the way of protection. We added a pair of full protective Vibram rubber soles, covering the entire length of each shoe.
These R.M. Williams Craftsman boots had a large tear around the outside of the left boot, just above the soles. We repaired the torn leather by applying a leather patch to cover seal up the tear and reinforce the surrounding area.
