02 / 08 Worn through
Soles gone, heels down, stitching letting go.
That is where a repair starts, not where a good pair of boots ends.
"He fixed my shoes that were coming apart & I was able to wear them straight away."
03 / 08 Off with the old
The tired sole comes off.
Down to a sound base, so the boot can be built back up properly.
"Don't throw out your old boots, give them a rebuild from highlands cobbler."
04 / 08 A new sole
Leather or rubber, made to suit the boot.
A clean leather sole for dress boots, a chunky lug sole for work and weather. Ask what suits yours.
05 / 08 Stitched
Soles re-stitched.
When the stitching round the sole lets go, it gets stitched again. That pair came through the shop in May 2022.
06 / 08 Heels
Heels rebuilt. Even lowered.
"He reduced the heal height on some boots and now I feel like I got a new pair of boots that I am comfortable in."
07 / 08 Elastic and polish
RM Williams? New elastic, inner soles and a tidy up.
"Valentinos did a great job and had them ready in 2x days. He even sent a text letting me know they were ready."
08 / 08 Ready
Ready to walk out the door.
Bring them to 426 Argyle St, Moss Vale NSW 2577. Look for the big yellow sign.
Have a go
Try a stitch.
Trace the dotted channel round the sole and lay the stitches in yourself. Start at the heel and keep going.

"I took my RM Williams boots into the shop for new elastic, inner sole and a bit of a tidy up. Valentinos did a great job and had them ready in 2x days. Lovely to have the owner and craftsman running the business rather than some anonymous chain."
