Heel Replacement
We can replace almost any heel out there. Stilettos, small heels, medium heels, heels with tread. We can replace heel tips, tidy up or replace veneer/covering, even lower them if needed. Hard-wearing heels for the track, soft and grippy for speed on the court, we can help give you the performance and comfort you need.
Half-Sole Replacement
Protective cover soles for thin or welt stitched soles to increase wear or to improve grip. Full replacement rubber available in a variety of compounds for colour, comfort, durability, sound, and grip. Genuine Meindl unit soles available for full sole replacement on your favourite Meindl hunting or hiking boots.
Leather Repairs
Leather is a great natural product that can last forever, but it does need care. If you’ve got anything made of leather that is damaged or worn out, we can repair it. We can patch tears, replace zips, adjust sizing, waterproof jackets, handbags, shoes.
Shoe Stretching
We can stretch shoes all over or just in specific places where they are rubbing. We can speed up the wearing-in process for new shoes. If you want us to check the fit of your shoes to see where they need stretching, wear the same thickness socks you would normally wear with the shoes.
Wallet & Bag Repair
If your wallet is losing coins or your bag is falling apart, it might be time to come and see us. We can patch tears, stitch seams, fix straps, replace clips, buckles, or zips, make things waterproof.
Zip Replacement
We replace zips on work boots, dress boots, horse-riding boots, motorcycle boots, handbags, school bags, backpacks, hiking packs. If your zip isn’t working, try and leave it in the state it was in when it stopped. Sometimes the fix can be easier than you expect, but we need to see it “as is” to properly assess it.
Belt & Strap Alterations
We can add belt holes, shorten or extend belts or straps, add new buckles, patch tears, re-rivet. For resizing belts and straps it is best to come in so we can measure up and get it right. Otherwise put your belt on, pull it tight and mark the back of the belt where the pin wants to poke through.
Shoe Shining & Cleaning
We’ve got a full range of products and services to get your shoes looking shiny and new again, from a quick polish through to a full wash and rejuvenate. We can do it for you, or sell you the product along with advice and information to help you care for them yourself at home.
Orthotic Shoe Modifications
If your orthotist or podiatrist has recommended rocker soles, buildups, heel raises, velcro conversion, or other modifications to your shoe, come see us. If you have had a modification done in the past which has been successful, the best thing to do is bring that shoe in as a pattern for us to take measurements from.
Shoe Laces & Insoles
We stock a full range of laces, insoles and gel pads. If your laces are broken, measure them before you come (or bring the shoe and laces with you), so we can make sure you get the right size.
