These Dior Walk’n’Dior sneakers were heavily stained due to fake tan spray running on to the fabric uppers. We cleaned and treated the fabric to remove the stains and help get the shoes looking fresh.

The plaited rope around the soles on these Gucci GG Blooms Espadrille loafers had torn, leaving the loose threads at risk of further damage. We repaired the espadrille stitching by hand.
These ECCO shoes were in good shape after several years of wear, except that the soles and the velcro on the straps were heavily worn. We performed a full resole and replaced the worn velcro.
These classic Timberland 6-Inch Waterproof boots were made to last years of regular wear, but the otherwise highly durable soles were showing significant wear around the back of the heels and centre of the soles. We performed a full resole, replacing the soles along the full length of each boot with a new pair of Vibram 100 Montagna rubber soles.
The soles on the Timberland hiking boots were made to be highly durable in the sense that the tread should not be expected to wear away despite years of regular wear. However, one of the soles on these boots had started coming apart from the body of the boots at the toes. We re-secured the soles to the uppers.
The heels and soles on these Valentino Rockstud Ankle Strap Pumps were heavily worn, with the heel tips missing, the leather around the heel blocks torn and hanging loose, and the soles worn right through at the toes. We replaced the heel tips, repaired the heel blocks and repaired the soles before installing a pair of rubber sole protectors.
These Gucci heels were looking thoroughly worn, with the heel tips worn down and the metallic gold leather uppers having lost much of their original colour and lustre. We replaced the heel tips and then cleaned and conditioned the leather uppers before recolouring / refinishing them.
These Bally knee-length boots were in great shape but a little too tight around the wearer’s calves. We modified the calves, making them wider around the top by installing a pair of v-shaped elastic gussets.
These RM Williams Gardener boots were looking far from fresh, with the uppers looking dry and discoloured and the soles and heels heavily worn down. We performed a full resole and then cleaned, conditioned and polished the leather uppers to help get them looking and feeling fresh.
The leather uppers on these RM Williams Craftsman boots were heavily creased and starting to crack, especially around the vamp — where the boots tend to bend. We cleaned and conditioned the leather to help prevent further damage and specially treat the leather to minimise the visibility of the damage to the leather.
