What shoes and boots can be repaired?
While we can repair anything on your shoes, bags and boots. The deciding factor is whether they are worth fixing.
Bring them in yourself. So we can discuss your expectations and work out a solution that suits you.
Heel Repair, sole replacement, stitching and zip replacement are some of the most commonly repaired parts on footwear in Tauranga and Mount Maunganui. From around NZ we get a lot of Horse Riding Boots for Zip Replacement. And yes we fix Birkenstocks and sell shoe polish.

How long do repairs take?
Allow 2-3 days for repairs. Let us know if you need them sooner. Same day service is available where we have capacity.
In winter repairs may take longer. Especially if it's freezing cold and wet over the weekend. As on the following Monday we have so many drop offs that we don’t get many repairs completed.

Hey shoe lovers ... do your boots need repairs before it gets cold and wet?
Cool photos eh ... slide the triangles in the middle for a better look
Let me tell you a little bit of the weird story behind these trashed RM Williams. And how we came to turn them into treasured boots for their new owner.
A rather fashionably dressed young lady drops these disgusting muddy RM Williams boots on to our counter and asks that we sort them out for her boyfriend. The weird bit started when she wasn't keen to give the usual name, number and pay up front. We agreed that the boyfriend would call us to discuss price and payment before we proceeded.
Anyway, the days, months and years went by and we stashed them in our lost property box. Then one day we needed some practice boots for training a new repairer. And look what he did to them!
Finally one of the team tried them on and to the best of my knowledge is still wearing them today.

Heels or Protection Soles
New boots before grippy soles and heels

Boots after new grippy soles and heels

These red boots were brand new. The soles were not going to last long enough on the concrete our customer was planning to wear them on. We have replaced the existing plastic heels with quality Vibram 6mm heeling in caramel colour. The soles we have sanded and glued a 1.8mm Protection sole over the top.
Heels or Replacement Soles
The uppers of these black sandals were in great condition. However the rubber soles and heels hadn't handled the Tauranga pavements too well. We replaced the heel caps with 6mm black Vibram rubber from Italy. The soles we used 3mm black Topy rubber from France.
"Thank you Shane - for giving my favourite pair of Moochi shoes an amazing makeover ready for summer!!"

Stitching
We have the machines and skills to stitch anything on a shoe, boot or bag. Whether stitching has come undone or you need a patch stitched over a tear. Our long armed walking foot stitcher can reach into the deepest boot or bag. We also have the ability to stitch by hand with thick waxed thread for those extra sturdy jobs.
Zip Replacment
The most common repair to zips is when the slider needs replacing. If your zip is past that point we can replace the entire zip.
Customer Comments Welcomed
"Your service was excellent, efficient and incredibly friendly. We have already dropped off more shoes, so that’s a sign of our happiness with your service! Will certainly refer our friends to you." Alley

While we prefer to meet with the person that will be wearing the shoes. We understand that can be tricky when you live in Auckland or Wanaka. Ideally send both shoes and some simple instructions so we can be prepared with ideas when we contact you.
