Shoe Repairs

Professional restoration for shoes worth keeping.

Well-made shoes are built to last — but they still wear, scuff, and fatigue over time. At Spitshine, we restore premium footwear with repairs that respect the original construction and materials. Whether it’s worn soles, collapsed heels or broken stitching, we return shoes to form, comfort and elegance.

Our Shoe Repair Services:

Sole Replacement

Full or half soles in leather or rubber, tailored to the original build of the shoe.

Toe & Heel Reinforcement

Preventative or corrective reinforcement for high-wear areas.

Dainite, Commando & Vibram Outsole

Premium rubber options for grip, longevity and weather resistance, including conversion from leather soles if preferred.

Metal Toe Plates (Triumph or Lulu)

Installed flush into the sole for extended life and discreet protection.

Heel Repair & Rebuild

rom simple top lifts to full stacked heel replacement, restored to factory shape.

Stitching & Welting

Loose welts, open seams, or split uppers hand-stitched using strong, colour-matched thread.

Insole & Lining Replacement
