As the warm rays of summer envelop us it's the perfect time to give your beloved RM Williams boots the care and attention they deserve. Just like any well-worn pair of shoes these Australian icons may require some maintenance to restore their former glory.
Assessing the Condition of Your Boots:
Before proceeding with any repairs, it's essential to assess the overall condition of your RM Williams boots. Look for signs of wear and tear such as cracked or worn-out soles, deformed or stretched elastic gussets and scuffed or damaged heels. Identifying the areas that require attention will help you plan the necessary repairs and ensure a successful outcome. You can email us for an assessment and quote at info@shoe-repirs.co.uk
Replacing Elastic Gussets:
Elastic gussets play a crucial role in the fit and comfort of your RM Williams boots. Over time, they may stretch or lose elasticity, affecting the boot's fit and style. Fortunately, replacing elastic gussets is a relatively straightforward process. We will carefully remove the old elastic and replace it with new authentic RM Williams elastic matching the stitching to the original design. This repair not only ensures a snug fit but also enhances the aesthetics of your boots.
Restoring the Soles:
The soles of your RM Williams boots are subjected to constant wear and tear, especially if you frequently venture into rugged terrains. To keep your boots in top shape, consider replacing the soles when they show signs of excessive wear, such as thinning or visible damage. We can expertly remove the old soles and replace them with Authentic RM Williams sole units. You can choose from any of the RM Williams sole units available on our website www.shoe-repairs.co.uk depending on your preferences and the boot's original specifications. Restoring the soles will not only extend the life of your boots but also provide enhanced comfort and grip.
Renewing the Heels:
While the soles bear the brunt of outdoor activities, the heels of your RM Williams boots are prone to scuffing and wearing down over time. If you notice significant heel damage, it's advisable to replace them promptly. We can expertly remove the worn heels and replace them with new ones that match the boot's original design. Not only will this refresh the appearance of your boots, but it will also ensure stability and comfort while walking.
Post-Repair Care:
Once your RM Williams boots have undergone the necessary repairs it's crucial to take proper care of them to maintain their condition and longevity. Regularly clean and condition the leather uppers using appropriate products recommended by RM Williams. Ensure your boots are stored in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to preserve their shape.
