This pair of presented in need of new soles and inner boards. We started by removing the heel blocks, soles, stitching, cork and inner boards. We replaced the inners with Italian shoulder leather, taking measurements from the originals for a prefect fit. The cork was renewed and the wooden shanks replaced, then we bonded new Gruppo Dani soles to the shoes using Stefan Hustadt cdc. We stitched the shoes on the , using the original holes to keep the intact. The soles got some custom paint using Angelus Direct | Paints, Dyes, Cleaners for Shoes & More leather paints, and then we secured heel blocks to the shoes using buttress nails and finished them with SVIG Srl combo top lifts. The edges were hand sanded, dyed and waxed, and the colour was refreshed using Angelus products.

This pair of presented at the perfect time for a resole, with no rand patches. We selected one of our climbing shoe lasts for the shoes then removed the original soles and created a template.

The soles were pressed well, first by hand and then in the bag press. The edges were trimmed, the rubber texturised and the shoes cleaned up on the .

This large was a special birthday gift, and presented with the coating on the strap flaking off. The customer had the idea to customise his bag so he brought it in to us, along with a cushion. We cut the cushion into strips and pieced them together to get a nice mix of colours, then removed the peeling coating, and bonded the cowhide to the strap. It was stitched in place, then we punched holes along the edges and through threaded kangaroo lacing. We chose light brown to contrast with the white and dark brown of the cowhide. Our customer was thrilled with how his one of a kind creation tuned out, and now this sentimental bag has many more years of use.
