Shoe and Boot Heel Re-covering

Send photos of the whole pair, damaged coverings and heel tips so we can quote for the work needed. We always re-cover both heels, even if only one is damaged, and new heel tips are included. Replacing whole heel pieces is also quoted as a pair, including tips.

Light surface scuffs may respond to polishing or colour restoration. Torn, peeling or deeply scuffed coverings, including damage exposing the plastic underneath, may need replacement. We assess the covering and underlying heel separately: re-covering renews the outer material, while heel tip replacement addresses the worn contact surface underneath.

If a heel piece is cracked or snapped beyond repair, we can replace both heel pieces with new tips and colour-matched smooth leather coverings. An exact original shape may not be available; we then select the closest suitable style. Requested changes, such as stiletto to block heels, need assessment.

We assess covered boot heels, block heels and stilettos for re-covering. For stacked-look heel blocks, we apply new veneer as a pair: this covering mimics stacked leather and can be colour-matched to resemble the original finish. Damage to the heel block itself requires separate assessment.

You can visit our Melbourne workshop or post your shoes or boots from anywhere in Australia through our online repair service. To get started, send photos showing the whole pair, close-ups of the damaged coverings and the heel tips. These help us assess the appropriate repair.
