This pair of men’s summer presented with the PU tread breaking down. We removed the old material, and then created a template for a shaped full sole, covering the scars that were left from the old tread. We cut new soles from Sevilla in taupe, and bonded them to the shoes using Renia cdc. The toes and heels were hand stitched with a waxed thread, and any excess glue cleaned up. Finally the shoes were sprayed with nano spray to protect the suede.

This pair of 970 boots are 21 years old, and well and truly in need of new soles. We started by breaking the boots down, removing the soles, stitching, cork and inner boards. We made new inner boards to replace the original ones that had broken up, and secured them to the gemming. The cork was renewed and the shanks reinstalled, and then we bonded new shoulder leather midsoles to the boots, bonding with Renia cdc and hand stitching to the welt. New Montagna soles were bonded to the boots, using Renia cdc and rehagol primer on the soles. They were pressed well, before trimming on the and hand sanding and colouring the edges, and then we reinstalled the original logo hardware onto the new soles. Some minor scratches in the uppers were repaired, and then we nourished them with shoe cream. Now these well loved boots are good for another 21 years 🏍️

The edges were trimmed, hand sanded and waxed, and finally the uppers were nourished and shined with shoe cream.
