We offer a resole and repair service on ALL our footwear which significantly extends the life of your shoes. Our shoes are designed to be taken apart when needed which means you get to enjoy your shoes much, much longer than mass produced shoes, which ultimately are designed to be thrown away when the uppers or soles fail. Resoling your shoes gives them a whole new life. The leather will look and feel loved but they will also look nearly new again!
Inspection
Before we start, your shoes will go through a thorough inspection to ensure they are in a resolable condition. If it is found there is excessive wear or damage to them, we will inform and advise you as to what the best options are. We can repair stitching and often leather that has been worn/damaged. Please make sure that your shoes are clean before sending them to us as we don’t fancy getting covered in mud (or much worse) when taking your shoes apart.
Rebuilding your shoes
When we resole your Conkers the shoes are actually taken apart very carefully by hand ~ re-built in fact. The leather upper is separated from what we call the Bottom Stock. This consists of everything below the leather upper ie. the leather insole and the complete worn out rubber section of soling. We then renew the Bottom Stock and restitch the leather upper to it. We give your shoes a feed, replace the laces with new ones and return them to you. Any little repairs will be done as part of this service and we will quote you on an individual basis for anything more complicated (for example major stitching or replacing parts of the shoe).
Which sole shall I choose this time?
If you would like a different sole to what you have had before see our ‘Sole Options‘ page for options or simply call us on 01803 862490 for any advice.
Drop your shoes into us or send them to us here at Conker Shoes, 28 High Street, Totnes, Devon, TQ9 5RY, UK with your contact details and choice of sole.
You can have the same sole type as before or try something new. We will give your shoes a Conker Health Check and get in touch with you and advise you on how to proceed.
