Shoe Care

               

Ladies Heel Lift
Rubber, leather, composition material that touches the ground and is attached to the end of the heel
 
Half Soles
Leather or rubber replacements for the bottom of the shoe.  Bottom portion goes from the shank of the shoe to the toe.  Back portion of the sole that extends to the heel is not part of this.
 
Sole Guard
Thin, high-quality rubber material attached to the existing sole.  Sole guards provide better traction and give longer life to the shoes.  Recommended for longer life on new shoes.
 
Toe Tip
Triangular piece of rubber material attached to the toe area of the shoe.
 
Toe Dot (Button)
Metal dot placed at the end of the shoe to extend the life of the toe.
 
Dyeing Fabric Shoes
Color change (light to darker).  The dye is permanent, will not wash out but may bleed if water-soaked.  it can be matched (as close as possible) to a dress, handbag or other item.  Must say "DYEABLE" on the box and be WHITE to begin with.  Please see 'Shoe Dyeing' page for more information.
 
Dyeing Leather Shoes
Involved stripping the old color and applying a dye color darker that the original.  We will dye shoes black, brown or navy.
 
Dyeing Suede Shoes
Suede does not take new colors well.  Done on shoe-by-shoe basis.
 
Cleaning Shoes 
Suede, Nubuck and other materials can be cleaned - removes dirt, some stains and will give the shoe a renewed look.

Full Soles /Casual Shoes and Workboots
Replacement of entire bottom of shoe (i.e. Boat shoes, Rockports, etc) Soft, flexible material usually of some rubber or composition variety.
 
Belts
Can be shortened, have the buckle changed, replace rivets with snaps or vice versa.  The change is usually done from the buckle end so that the look of the belt changes as little as possible.  We can also add holes to a more comfortable fit.
 
Stitching
 Heavy-duty machine for a variety of stitching needs (duffel bags, backpacks, some suitcases, holsters, etc).  Sewing patches on leather vests, backpacks and other pieces.
 
Tassels
Dress shoe tassels can be repaired or replaced.
 
Stretching Shoes/Boots
Both can be stretched, often as much as a half size in width/length.  It is most effective with leather shoes but other materials (imitation leather, fabric, plastic) can provide a bit more space.  Shoes can also be made more comfortable for individuals with bunions.
