1. Chewed Heels

The heel on this pair of Christian Louboutin shoes was unwearable after being chewed by a puppy. Not only was the exterior pony-skin heel covering and the red sole ruined, but the actual heel was splintered and unsafe to wear. Our expert sourcing team sourced a pony skin material to match the colour, shape and hair-length of the original shoe. We replaced both heels to ensure they matched. With the new heels recovered and refitted, our shoe specialist remade the red heel stem to replace the damaged one.

2. Gnawed Leather

To repair the torn heels on these Gucci loafers, our advanced shoe repair team had to replace the entire back panel. This required us to separate the sole from the upper to remove the torn panel. We created a pattern for the replacement heel, and fit this to the original shoe. We secured the sole back to the upper with nails per the original structure, ensuring a strong and lasting repair.

3. Nibbled Strap

A very bold fox nibbled the toe and ankle strap on these brand new Nicholas Kirkwood sandals. After sourcing gold leather to match the texture of the original shoe, we rebuilt the toe strap for a seamless repair.
