Heels and Sole Protectors
To make your shoes or boots last longer, add a thin rubber protective, non-slip sole over your footwear. This will slow the natural wear down of your shoes and boots and will also make them less slippery – perfect for the winter season.

My husband brought his leather shoes for a repair as he had quite a few scratches and Leon did an amazing job in repairing and polishing them! Thank you, Leon, we will definitely come back!
All I can say is - “PHENOMENAL”. I needed to alter a boot for a swollen foot after surgery. Leon opened the boot in 2 places and installed velcro for easy on and off. The boot is finished in a way that you would never guess it has been altered. It totally looks factory-made. Great taste and great hands!!!
Leon is a hidden gem. He helped me resole my shoes. Does great work.
I cannot express enough how thankful I am for the alterations Leon made to my boots. Along with his attention to detail, he was kind, respectful, and professional. I drove all the way from Burlington to have my boots repaired by him and will continue to only have Leon repair my boots and shoes.
Leon is great. He is professional and listens to the concerns you have with your shoes and tries his best to address them. He has alot of knowledge and is highly skillful in dealing with all types of shoes. He will explain the reasons for why and how things can or can't be done and will make sure to look after them in the process as well. When you have shoes you love... You don't won't to leave them with someone you don't trust. You can definitely trust Leon and I will be coming back with all my Sandals from now onwards. Thanks Leon!
Leon works his magic on boots and leather jackets - he fixed so many of my favourite shoes very quickly, his craftsmanship and customer service are equally excellent. There were a few shoes that I was ready to throw out but he made them look like brand new, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my boots and accessories. Highly recommended!
