Shoes
These Chippewa Service boots were built to withstand the most rugged terrains and work, but over years the original rubber soles and heels had worn down, needing replacement. We performed a full resole, replacing the heels and soles with entirely new ones.
These Dr Martens Orson slip-on shoes were heavily scuffed around the toes, with the leather losing much of its colour there, and the inner lining around the back of the shoes was torn. We re-lined the heel counters and restored the leather uppers, cleaning, conditioning and then recolouring / refinishing them.
One of the heel blocks on these Christian Louboutin Kate 554 pumps had become severely torn after sliding through the side of an escalator. We re-covered the patent black leather around the heel blocks with entirely new, matching patent black leather.
The red soles on these Christian Louboutin flats had become worn and discoloured, especially around the front and the heels of the wearer’s feet. We repaired the original leather red bottoms and protected them with thin rubber soles added over the top.
The leather soles on these Jimmy Choo pumps had come apart, detaching from the uppers at the toes. We repaired the leather soles, reattaching them to the uppers.
These RM Williams Comfort Craftsman boots were stained due to spilled butter. We cleaned the suede and treated it with a stain remover, effectively getting rid of the stain.
These Christian Louboutin Culturella pumps had severely damaged leather around one of the heel blocks and just above it. We re-wrapped the damaged heel blocks with new leather and then used a leather filler to seal up and smooth out the torn leather on the body of the shoes.
These RM Williams Craftsman boots had the toes of the right boot chewed by a family pet and thus heavily damaged. We used a leather filler and some careful leather polishing and recolouring to repair the gouged leather.
These Gucci Jordaan loafers showed substantial wear on the original leather soles, demonstrating the importance of protecting them. We added a pair of thin protective soles over the top of the leather soles, for greater grip and longevity.
The soles and heels on these RM Williams Adelaide boots had worn down and needed replacing. We replaced the heels with new RM Williams rubber heels and performed a half re-sole, adding a new pair of leather half soles.
