Heel Back Liners

28/7/2014

Check out the foam poking out from under the lining in the back of the shoe at the top. Shoes like this get worse quickly and in the process wreck your socks and give you blisters.

The tatty bits have been glued down.Then a solid piece of soft suede has been glued over the top. A row of stitching around the top stops your foot ungluing it every time you slide your foot in.

All good with the shoes - 10/10.  I think this is the 3rd time you guys have re-soled these shoes.  Shoes just too comfortable to throw out."

Mens Leather 1/2 Soles and Rubber Heels

New to the area I asked a friend for the name of a cobbler in Mount / Tauranga as I have had serious problems with quality from Mr Minut previously (or send RM Williams boots back to RM Williams and get impeccable service from them)

She recommended you and I have to say you're a cut above for service and communication - time will tell if the quality of the workmanship stacks up but you are far from cheap so I hope there is quality underpinning the service - at this stage I am happy to give you a thumbs up and would recommend you accordingly.

Kind Regards

Boot build up - Mt Maunganui

15/11/2013

55mm build up onto sz9 gumboot. Just one boot gets the extra height as the customer has one leg shorter than the other.

Many layers and lots of test walks later!

These shoes are possibly from the 60's, I'm not sure but they were really worn out in the soles and the heels were so worn the heel block was gone!

Here you see the new leather soles which are glued and stitched on. The nails in the toes are not normal! But the welt (which is the bit that the stitches hook onto on the shoe) was so old and weak we decided a few nails through into the insole would help.

Mens Heels and Rubber Half Soles

A great job by Garry Hamnett of our Tauranga store. Our customer has wisely asked to have quality Topy protection rubber half soles added to these new leather soled shoes. Matching 6mm "Topy Strong" heeling completes the job nicely.
UPDATE 2020
While we still have Topy rubber we now mainly use Vibram Dupla for heels. Dupla is quieter, has better grip and lasts longer. For protection soles we prefer Vibram 1.8mm as it has more grip and is quieter.
