SEGS

How to prevent the sole's wear and tear?
Easy! this is the least expensive and most effective pre-wear and mid-wear solution a fashionista can employ. A small circular metal disc is nailed shallowly into a leather sole at its most vulnerable points (toes and heels).A simple fix to extend the life of your shoe.

RECOVER HEELS

When your heel is in need of some TLC after some damage from gravel, grass steins or other.  We can recover the heel stem of stilettos or boots in new fabric or leather. We will source as close a match to the original (or a complementary match of your choosing) to get you that like-new feeling.

STILETTO RE-HEEL

The end of the stiletto heel wears down so fast that sometimes before you know it, its down way beyond where it should be. Not to worry. This service replaces the tip with a perfectly fitted and colored replacement.

FLAT RE-HEEL

Everyone wears down the back of their heels, especially at the back corner. Making sure you repair it before it damages the heel block is vital. Whether you bring us a loafer or lace-up, leather, or rubber, we’ll replace it quickly and with a close-as-possible match to the original unless you ask otherwise.

NEW SHANKS

In a stiletto, boot or dress shoe, the shank is an internal piece of metal that gives support and stability. Sometimes it breaks, or gets loose and makes a squeaky noise. We can bend it back into place, or we can replace it altogether.

RE-SEAT HEELS

When the heel tears away from the base of the shoe, often exposing the nail, fear not! It looks nastier than it is. We will remove and replace the nails and reattach the heel, occasionally using the same heel if it is not damaged.

BROKEN HEELS

When the heel itself snaps we need to replace the whole piece. Matching the shape, slope and height we then re-cover in a material as close as possible to the original or even a complementary material if you wish.

PROTECTIVE SOLE

A protective sole can work magic for both men and women’s shoes.  A delicately thin rubber sole is adhered to the outer leather sole providing grip, comfort and longevity. We cut ours low and curved, using a color closest to the color of the original sole’s outer edge.

TOE RE-SOLE

Most often appropriate for ladies stilettos.
A toe piece is a mini resole but only at the shoe’s tip where it always seems to wear so much faster than the rest of the sole.

HALF RE-SOLE

Here, we replace the outer sole from the bend in your foot to the toe if the heel is too high. Whatever the reason a half-sole may be your solution.  We will match as close as possible to the original style unless you ask otherwise.

FULL RE-SOLE

This service provides an excellent ‘new’ like feeling and effectively restarts the clock on the shoe’s lifetime.  Also called a ‘long sole’, this is a resole from the toe all the way back to the heel block and includes a re-heel.  Please be aware that this will remove any embossed branding on the original sole.

HARDWARE RE-NEW

Over time your items will show wear and tear, from damage or discoloration, to rivets or pins – our dedicated sourcing team can fix the original, source new pieces or liaise directly with the brands to solve hardware problems.

NEW ELASTICS

Very small strips of elastic between ankle straps and buckles are easily broken on delicate shoes and sandals. We will source and replace with the closest possible match in size, colour and material to the original or source something specific upon request.

REPLACE BINDING OR RIBBON

Binding on shoes usually runs along the opening of the shoe to provide a finished or decorative effect to raw edges. It can be found on many bags as well as trainers and shoes. When it muddies, tears or wears down, we can replace it in whole or in part with as close as possible a match to the original.

RE-MAKE LOOPS

Small loops of leather and other material (also called ‘keepers’) hold important components together such as straps, buckles, laces. When they break and are irreparable, we simply make you a new one. We match everything as close as possible to the original or, if it must be perfect, sometimes we can even source the original material direct.

REMAKE TASSELS

Over time pieces are lost or damaged. We can recreate and attach new tassels or zip pullers. We match as close to the original as possible unless you feel creative and request something new.

RE-LAST

Over time the industrial strength glue that typically holds the insole and the base sole together will degrade, sometimes getting dry, cracking, and losing adherence. A re-last means that we will take the shoes apart, remove the old glue and re-apply fresh glue to ensure all is secure again.

INSOLES AND UNDER-SOCKS

An insole (or ‘sock’) is the leather or fabric sole glued to the shoe’s inside along the interior bottom, where you step on. We custom cut a fresh piece of leather or put padding under your existing one to add a cushion or help with fit. Please take note that this will remove any embossed or foiled branding, we can however sometimes save fabric sewn-in tags.

HEEL LINING

Over time, feet coming in and out and moving up and down can really wear down the thin piece of sheepskin (or goatskin) on the inside of the heel counter.  Eventually the area wears down and needs to be replaced. Combine this with a resole and a clean, and you’ll fall in love all over again.

SHOE STRETCHING

Naturally, our shoes and boots need a little help getting adjusted to our unique feet.  To save you the time that this normally takes, we can stretch your shoe in all four directions. While this can make the breaking in process faster and more tolerable, we can not stretch a shoe or boot a full size. Please also note we can not overstretch shoes without risk of damage.

WEATHER PROOFING

If you are looking to protect new shoes or loved ones after a clean or shoeshine then just ask us. We use top-of-the-line water repellent products, applied in thin layers, for extra protection from the elements.

COLOR RESTORATION

Not all color restoration will need surface restoration, but all surface restoration will need color.  From holes and scratches to color fade and denim transfer, leather surface and color restoration is where we excel.  We take a less is more approach, preferring to let a few flaws show through rather than compromise the touch and feel of our favorite and most respected material.

CHANGE COLOUR

Sometimes an altogether new color is what we want for our favorite item. We can recolor shoes or bags in any color darker than the original… the darker the color, the more consistent the result. Some limitations do apply, and it is not recommended for suede, nubuck or patent. Please contact us for more information, our team are happy to help.

BESPOKE RE-FASHIONING

Whatever you need whether it be from damage, looking for a new look, some initials or new decorations?  We are here to help.  Send us your bright idea or ask our team to get creative with some design sketches. They love it to help and make all your wishes come true.
