We are very proud to be an environmentally friendly company recycling pre-worn shoes and boots that would be consigned to landfill
Giving a new life to great boots
Boots that are worn and pre-loved may still have plenty of life left in them. Simply applying Leder Gris or similar can feed the leather making it more supple and water resistant again . If the soles are worn they can easily be replaced and rands repaired along with eylets which may have broken. New laces make a huge difference and boots which may seem well past their useful life can be reconditioned to give many more thousands of miles of use.
How we recondition our boots
Description of our unique refurbishment process:
The condition of the boot is assessed for work needed
Laces are removed
Boot soles scrubbed with soap and water
Leather washed and cleaned as necessary with saddle soap and air dried for 24-48 hours
Insoles removed and washed or replaced
Insides cleaned
Insides sprayed with Detol Antibacterial spray
Any repairs to eyelets or rand undertaken
Scuffs removed and colour refreshed with leather cream
If it is deemed necessary the leather is recoloured with Fiebings leather dye to either original colour or darker colour to create a natural patina and sealed
Altberg leder gris is applied if necessary on dry leather and left for 24 hours to soak into leather then buffed
Boot cream is applied for finish so leather can breath
Insoles re-installed
New original or coloured laces installed
Final clean and brush
Condition accurately assessed for sale notes
