We can of course replace worn out leather soles with new ones or in some cases the customer may wish to add a Topy rubber sole for added grip and slower wearing. Heels are normally rubber for maximum grip.

When a moulded rubber sole begins to break down and has holes as seen below, we can either add a Topy rubber half sole and heels or in more extreme cases replace the entire sole unit.

The upside is this will generally give a longer lasting repair and in many cases offer more comfort to the customer.

We can convert leather soles to non-slip rubber or convert rubber soles to leather for dancing or bowling or adding protector plates to the heels or toes of shoes.
