These Gucci Jordaan loafers showed substantial wear on the original leather soles, demonstrating the importance of protecting them. We added a pair of thin protective soles over the top of the leather soles, for greater grip and longevity.

These Gucci Jordaan loafers had been previously colour restored with materials that left the leather looking dull and discoloured where the added colour had rubbed off over time. We stripped the leather uppers of their colour, and then cleaned and conditioned the leather before recolouring / refinishing it.
These Christian Louboutin Dandelion loafers had been worn only once, but the unprotected red bottoms were likely to quickly lose their colour and eventually wear down. We protected the res soles with a pair of thin protective rubber soles over the top.
These Christian Louboutin Dandelion Spikes Loafers had been worn only a handful of times, but the clear, plastic protective soles previously added to them were not adding much in the way of protection. We added a pair of full protective Vibram rubber soles, covering the entire length of each shoe.
These RM Williams Harbour casual shoes were truly well worn, as could be seen from the state of the nubuck leather uppers and the soles, which were thoroughly ground down. We repaired the original soles, building them up to level them off before adding a pair of full-length overlaid rubber soles.
These Gucci penny loafers were originally light beige in colour but had become increasingly dirty and discoloured. We cleaned, conditioned and recoloured the suede to get the shoes restored.
