Shoes Services

SUPER LUXURY TRAINER CLEANING

Perfect for those uber-luxury trainers that require extra careful handling.

We carefully clean your trainers’ interior and exterior (including laces) using a range of methods appropriate to the material and damage. Although we can’t guarantee that all stains will be removed, you can rest comfortably knowing that your trainers are in the most capable and passionate hands.

SUEDE CLEANING

To get those lovelies looking just right, just a little extra love and time are all that is required. We carefully apply our techniques (inside and out) to your specific situation, and finish with a spray to help protect them for future wear.

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.

INSOLE REPLACEMENT

There is nothing as bad as a great mule with a worn insole!  Let us replace those for you and bring your mules back to new!

Our expert artisans will change your insole using the most meticulous handcraft, while only using high quality authentic insoles.

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.

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.

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.

SPORTS TRAINER CLEANING

We clean your trainers’ interior and exterior, including laces, using a different range of methods for every situation. While we can’t guarantee that we can completely remove all stains, we pride ourselves on developing the most comprehensive range of solutions available.

STAIN REMOVAL

Sometimes you are in need of some major cleaning with specific techniques to salvage your item. Fortunately, we have the equipment, experience and procedures in place to apply to your damaged shoe, bag or clothing.
Please let us know if you are sending us such a situation in advance as health and safety measures may be required.

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.

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.

REMAKE TASSELS AND BOWS

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

ESPADRILLE CHEVRON STITCHING

They say that a stitch in time saves nine!  However, even if you have let your espadrille go and you need a complete stitching and fixing of the sole, we can do it for you so that they look great to take on your next holiday!

SPECIAL CLEANING

Using the most comprehensive range of solutions available, we carefully clean the interior and exterior of your leather and suede boots and shoes, as well as mixed material fashion trainers (including laces) using a range of methods. While we can’t guarantee that we can completely remove all stains we can certainly remove most while providing longevity and good looks to your foot wear.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CHANGE COLOR

Sometimes an altogether new color is what we want for our favorite item. We can recolor shoes in any color darker than the original. Some limitations do apply, and it is not recommended for suede, nubuck or patent. 

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.
