Jenny's care tips - Ladies Pointed-Toe protection
We all love Pointed Toes, such as these Pradas, however one thing buyers should be aware of is that their delicate design makes them more vulnerable to damage than regular shoes.
For all shoes, we suggest adding protective soles to prevent thinning of the soles, and to protect against kicks, and knocks that your shoes may incur day to day.
The slim toes on Pointed-Toe shoes do not have enough surface area for the protective soles to adhere to alone. To solve this issue for our customers, we craft a leather Toe Piece from a German brand called JR Leather. This leather Toe Piece is strong, and provides sufficient support for the protective soleing.
On top of the leather Toe Piece, we then add our signature protective sole, crafted with Vibram Rubber. Together in combination, your Pointed-Toe shoes will be more protected, and you will feel comfortable wearing them without risking damage the leather upper.

Valentino Garavani heel restoration.
The heels had been been mauled by this customers pup. There was fraying around one of the uppers with a chewed section extending all the way through into the lining. The black leather heel covers had also been destroyed.
We replaced the heel covers before building out the lining / remaking the bitten upper portion of the shoe. We also smoothed and tidied up the worn soles (not perfect but we retained the original Valentino soles)
