  • Shoe Lasts

    The first thing we do after receiving shoes for repair is insert the correct-sized lasts. Lasts are a foot-shaped mould that we use make shoes, and they are also incredibly useful in shoe repairing as they re-mould the shoes back to their original shape.

    As shoemakers, we have a huge range of different sized and shaped lasts.

  • Sole press

    A sole press is a hydraulic machine that is used to press a sole firmly onto the body of a shoe. It produces an even pressure between the sole and the shoe ensuring they bond perfectly.

    Without this machine a repairer will just use a hammer, which isn't as durable or efficient as using a hydraulic sole press. 

  • Goodyear Welt

    The Goodyear welt stitcher was a revolutionary machine when it was invented in 1869, as it allows shoes to be made in a traditional welted construction (invented around 1500) without having to hand stitch the sole.

    This construction is designed so the soles can be easily replaced, allowing your shoes to last a lifetime.
