Shoes
These Louis Vuitton Silhouette Ankle boots were brand new, with the original glossy leather soles unprotected and lacking traction. We installed a pair of premium rubber protective soles over the top of the original soles to enhance both durability and grip.
These R.M. Williams Chincilla boots were fairly new and in great shape, but the leather soles remained prone to significant wear, particularly at the toes. We installed a pair of flush-mounted, brass Triumph toe plates.
The soles on these Ecco Soft 7 GTZ Tie sneakers were heavily worn, with a large split across the ball of one foot. We replaced the soles with entirely new ones custom made from scratch to fit the shoes.
While these Fendi Espadrille Wedge T-Strap shoes were in great condition, the elastics around the ankles had stretched out over time, leaving the shoes unwearable. We replaced the elastics with entirely new ones.
These Hermès Oran sandals were brand new, with the original leather soles and combination leather + rubber heels unprotected. We protected the original soles and heels from wear and improved traction without detracting from the shoes aesthetically by installing a pair of premium sole and heel protectors.
These Church’s Diplomat 173 shoes had been well looked after, but the soles and heels were heavily worn down due to regular wear. We performed a half resole and reheel using premium Joh Redenbach soles and heels.
These RM Williams Sydney boots were in fairly good shape, but the ‘tan’ coloured leather uppers had been stained by a darker leather polish, leaving the leather discoloured. We performed a complete re-dye, changing the colour of the boots to a darker ‘chestnut’ brown.
These Jimmy Choo Saeda 100 shoes were in good shape, but the satin uppers were dirty an mud-stained. We cleaned the satin uppers and treated the stains.
The elastic gussets on these Bally Scavone Chelsea boots had become stretched, leaving the boots loose around the wearer’s ankles and difficult to walk in. We removed and replaced the loose elastic gussets with entirely new ones.
These Chanel Ballet flats were looking heavily worn and discoloured after several years of wear. We cleaned and conditioned the shoes before recolouring / refinishing the leather and fabric trim to restore its colour.
