These Church’s Oslo derby shoes were brand new with unprotected leather soles that were therefore susceptible to quickly wearing down with everyday wear. We protected the soles by installing a pair of thin rubber sole protectors.
These Bally Janelle loafers were brand new with unprotected leather soles. We installed a pair thin rubber half soles to protect the leather soles and offer greater traction to the wearer.
The soles on these Ariat Mendocino mules were disintegrating and breaking apart from the uppers. We resoled the shoes with a new pair of custom-made rubber soles.
The black leather around the toes on one of the shoes in this pair of Chanel ballet flats had been heavily scuffed and torn, leaving a layer of leather handing by a few threads. We repaired the torn leather before polishing the leather to buff out the imperfections that remained visible.
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.
These Red Wing Moc Toe boots were starting to look old and tired with the leather scuffed and discoloured and the original soles heavily worn down, to the point where the leather uppers were starting to be worn into. We restored the leather uppers and replaced the soles.
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 rubber heels on these Loake Aldwych shoes had been worn down, especially at the end of one of the heel caps, where the leather heel blocks were starting to be worn into. We repaired the worn heel blocks and re-heeled the shoes with entirely new, premium rubber heel caps.
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.
