Repair Irregular Choice soles

12 replies

Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting the soles of some irregular choice shoes repaired?
They were a plain turquoise leather but have worn quite a bit so look a bit worse for wear.
Would a cobbler be able to put a new coloured sole on it are there specialist companies that can refurbish them?

I'd start with a cobbler and see what they say. I don't know any specialist places I'm afraid, but a hopeful bump for you.

Why not contact the shop and see what they suggest. They should know someone or might offer to repair them for you.

bought them donkeys years ago from their shop in London which is 5 hours away from me.
ive only just dug them out to go with a dress recommended on here (i’d forgot about them and then had a stroke of inspiration).

They are gorgeous !

I have several irregular choice shoes and love them. I love yours too 😍

Does the sole NEED to be turquoise to match? I mean, yes, it would be nice, but how often are people seeing the sole? I don't think timpsons will think you are mad at all! I personally try to find a local, none franchise cobblers, but if nothing nearby, then start with timpsons.

they are aren’t they? i totally forgot about them and then had a ping moment and they will go perfectly with the dress. i’ve bought some irregular choice insoles as i’m not a heel wearer normally so a bit extra comfort is needed

i guess it doesn’t have to be turquoise and something like a light tan leather would work but i’ll try and keep that as a last resort. the current wear on them does ruin the look so i need to do something
