Frequent Asked Questions

Can you resole blake stitched shoes?
Yes, we can absolutely resole shoes blake stitch shoes, which have the outsole stitched directly through to the insole without the use of any welt. They require a thinner outsole than Goodyear welted shoes, but we can absolutely do this using our JR Rendenbach oak bark tanned leather outsoles.

Can you resole shoes with double outsoles?
Yes, we can absolutely resole shoes with double soles, or a midsole. A double-soled shoe essentially has two outsoles stacked together and then sewn onto the welt. This adds extra durability. Provided that the midsole is not worn out, we can refurbish double-soled shoes at no additional cost. Should the midsole need to be replaced, or should you desire to replace it with a pair of JR Rendenbach oak-bark tanned leather outsoles, the additional fee is $55.00.

Who takes care of the shoes for this service? What's the process entail?

Our Kirby Allison "Silver Cup" recrafting program will restore your shoes to like-new condition using the Shoe Service Institute of America ("SSIA") Silver Cup standards, which is the shoe repair industry's most prestigious award for recrafting workmanship. The contest rules state that shoes should be repaired back to their "out-of-box" condition, preserving the original aesthetic of the shoes as much as possible. In addition, all shoes will receive a finishing shine using Saphir Medaille d'Or to ensure they return fully polished and ready to wear.

Our Kirby Allison recrafting program exclusively uses JR Rendenbach oak-bark tanned outsoles, widely considered by shoe aficionados to be the absolute best outsoles because of their high density and longevity. Every shoe will also receive new JR Rendenbach combination heels, new Sovereign Grade Shoe Laces, and a full Saphir Shoe Shine.

Every pair is individually inspected, and the repair is done by our award-winning cobbler. All work is guaranteed for a full year against any failure in workmanship.
