Allen Edmonds Shoe Restoration

We received a classic pair of Allen Edmonds mens shoes for a full restoration package. The restoration included replacing the soles and heels and repairing the damaged buckle elastic.

Luke, our leather specialist, replaced the buckle elastic, ensuring it was durable and matched the original style, while also fitting new soles and heels. Jenny then completed the restoration by performing a restorative clean, removing any scuffs and dirt to bring the leather back to life.

After the repairs and cleaning, the shoes were returned to a like-new condition. We’re confident these Allen Edmonds shoes are now ready to be worn and enjoyed for many more years to come.

Jennys 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.

It’s brilliant to see such a skilled restoration in this throw away fast fashion world.

Yes the repair is wonderful, but they are just plain hideous boots!

To buy superbly crafted boots and not immediately put Topy soles on to protect them, just amazes me. They are so lovely.

Louboutin red sole restoration

The original soles were quite worn down so we re-contoured the soles and added leather (notice the darker portions of the soles near the toes). We needed to custom match the red dye and apply several layers to permanently restore the finish.
