1

Initial Assessment & Documentation

Every pair begins with a thorough examination by our master craftsmen. We document the current condition, identify all areas needing attention, and assess the structural integrity of the footwear. This includes checking sole wear patterns, leather condition, stitching quality, and hardware functionality.

We take detailed notes and photographs to track progress throughout the restoration process. This assessment forms the foundation of our repair plan and helps us provide accurate pricing and timelines.

Customer Consultation & Approval

We contact each customer with a detailed repair plan, including specific services needed, materials to be used, and accurate pricing. We explain each step of the proposed restoration and answer any questions you might have.

Work begins only after you approve the plan and pricing. We believe in complete transparency and want you to understand exactly what restoration work will be performed on your valuable footwear.

Preparation & Disassembly

The restoration begins with careful preparation. We remove laces, insoles, and any hardware that needs replacement. For resoling work, we carefully separate the upper from the sole using specialized tools that preserve the leather integrity.

Each component is cleaned and prepared for restoration. We remove old adhesive residue, clean leather thoroughly, and prepare surfaces for new materials. This methodical approach ensures optimal bonding and lasting results.

Expert Restoration Work

This is where our craftsmen's expertise truly shines. Using traditional cobbler techniques passed down through generations, we perform the restoration work with meticulous attention to detail. Whether resoling, stitching, or leather repair, every step is done by hand.

We use only premium materials that match or exceed the original specifications. Our skilled artisans ensure proper fit, alignment, and structural integrity throughout the restoration process.

5

Finishing & Conditioning

After the structural work is complete, we focus on the finishing details. Leather is carefully conditioned and polished to restore its natural beauty and flexibility. We apply protective treatments and ensure proper color matching.

New laces are installed, hardware is polished or replaced, and any final adjustments are made. The goal is to return your footwear in better condition than you remember, while preserving its original character.
