What to do when your puppy eats a hole in the new leather rug. Take a small piece from the tail and patch it. Not invisible but not bad considering. #leatherwork #haironleather #leatherrepair #puppydamage #puppyateit (at Reids Bootmakers)

I wonder which one of our "elves" was responsible for this little bit of art on this piece of scrap rubber??? #bringyourkidtoworkday #randomart #doodles #shoemakerselves (at Reids Bootmakers)

They may have been hand made, but sadly they were not well made. The customer was disappointed that they fell apart only a few months after buying them. We rebuilt them, sewing the sole properly and only using top quality materials. #pierrecardin #shoerepair #leathersole #stitchedsoles #reducereuserecycle (at Reids Bootmakers)

Our customers wife took his Red Wing boots somewhere else to be repaired. Sadly the other shop tried to use a sole intended for a dress shoe and 1/2 stitched it, then attempted to nail it with staples but did no proper prep & didn't replace the cork filler or re-glue the upper to the insole boards. Bottom line, don't trust you Red Wings to anybody else. We are the only authorised Red Wing repairer in West Australia. #redwing #resole #qualityrepairs #choosecarefully #wefixitall (at Reids Bootmakers)

Needed to reset the toe stiffener on this boot after a horse stood on it forcing the stiffener down in a v shape inside the boot, but I didn't have a last with the correct shape. What do you do, you adapt and overcome. #shoelast #adaptandovercome #shoerepair #ariat #ariatboots #ridingboots #horserider (at Reids Bootmakers)

So new leather hinges fitted to the 2 internal panels and a new leather pad all finished. We are pretty happy with the finished product and hope our customer is too. #leatherwork #writingbox #antique #kidleather #wefixitall #reducereuserecycle (at Reids Bootmakers)

Much "loved" boots in need of some TLC. New 3mm Topy Semi soles, Topy Strong heels and well more than a few coats of Collinil Ultra polish and they are looking a little better. #leatherboots #collonil #polished #leathercare #topy (at Reids Bootmakers)

When you are choosing a shoe repair shop, don't just ask how much to fix this! Ask things like, do you use high quality Italian or German leather and rubber, do you own the business or just work here, are you fully apprenticeship qualified? Ask to see examples of their work. Demand the best for your favourite shoes. Paying the same price may not mean you get the same quality. #shoerepair #leathersole #professional #svig #vermani #topy #rmwilliams #llyodsshoes (at Reids Bootmakers)
