Old Friend Slippers Before and After

 After removing the soles on these "Old Friend" house slippers, I decided these would be a good before and after.  The old soles were brittle and crumbling and I was able to resole them with some flexible cowhide leather that had been deer tanned.

Now this customer has their favorite house slippers and can continue to enjoy them for a good while longer.

Interesting Shoes, Z-Coil Velcro Sandals

Johnston & Murphy Before And After

This customer was going up north and wanted an aggressive sole for the winter weather

We put on an aggressive Gumlite sole made by Vibram, for better traction.

Ostrich Skin Boots Resoled and Heeled Before and After

This pair of Ostrich Skin Boots was half-soled and heeled.  Ostrich skin is easy to identify by the prominent bumps where the feathers were attached.  I really enjoy working on nice boots like these.
