Business Dress Shoes
Our passion is repairing Allen Edmonds and
other fine English, Italian and American shoes.
We gladly repair almost any shoe! However, there are a
few interesting facts to know about different brands of
dress shoes regarding quality, and longevity.
Allen Edmonds is one of those companies that is hard to
compare. Their shoes are all hand crafted, with
construction methods that are hard to beat. It is not
unusual for a pair of these shoes to last over 10 years, and
be resoled 5 or more times. While some might see these
as expensive, they are a good investment if you want to
get a lot of wear out of a pair of dress shoes. We
recommend nothing less than a full sole and heel on
these shoes when it's time for a repair, as a pair of these
shoes will take just as good care of you, as you take care
of it. Cedar shoe trees and rotation in and out of your
daily wear patters will GREATLY increase the life of these
shoes, as the only problem we ever see with a pair of
Allen Edmonds is from the accumulation of moisture from
daily wear without an opportunity to dry out.
Trust your Goodyear Welted shoes to us, we can
completely replace welts, storm welts, cork inlays, fiber
braces, we use only Extra Prime leather full soles, we
rebuild the heel bases only the finest available rubber or
combination rubber leather heel (dovetail).
Soles are stitched with our Landis Goodyear welt stitcher
which skives the sole while stitching it to the welt so that
the linen thread is not exposed.
Finally the re-crafted shoe is cleaned and hand finished to
bring out that Like New finish.
