Defeating Hydrolysis: Why Your Blundstones Deserve a New Life

Hydrolysis is the invisible enemy of polyurethane soles: a chemical reaction where moisture breaks down the polymer bonds, turning the sole into a powder that suddenly crumbles. Repairing a pair of Blundstones is immensely valuable: while the sole fails due to chemical degradation, the leather upper is almost always in excellent condition. Throwing them away would be a waste. In our Milan laboratory, we remove every trace of degraded polyurethane and recover the leather structure, which has already taken the shape of your foot, making it ready for a new phase of life. With over 500 pairs repaired each year , we are specialists in this restoration.

Technical Architecture: The Svig sole designed for Blundstone

To regenerate your shoes, we don't use a generic replacement, but the Svig SU557 sole. This component was designed and molded specifically for repairing Blundstone models : its dimensions and design are studied to perfectly accommodate the original upper, ensuring a harmonious aesthetic.

The real upgrade lies in the material: unlike the original polyurethane sole, which is prone to hydrolysis and crumbling, the Svig sole is made of high-quality rubber . This material not only offers superior grip and greater flexibility, but is chemically stable and designed to last over time without ever crumbling. We also add Opanka stitching : we sew the new sole to the upper with specialized machinery, eliminating any risk of separation. In rare cases, especially on suede leathers, the manual process may leave slight technical marks near the sole, a testament to the authentic artisanal restoration carried out in Milan.

Domande Frequenti

Blundstone - Resoling

1. What is hydrolysis and why does the sole crumble?

Hydrolysis is a chemical process that affects the polyurethane of the original soles: moisture breaks the bonds of the material, causing it to crumble like a cookie . This often happens if shoes sit unused in the closet. Since leather uppers are nearly indestructible, repairing them with a rubber sole is the smartest and most sustainable choice.

2. What type of sole is fitted and how is it secured?

We use the Svig SU557 sole, an Italian excellence designed specifically for Blundstones. Unlike the original, this sole is made of real rubber , a material that never crumbles . To ensure eternal durability, we perform the Opanka stitching with specialized machinery, which mechanically joins the sole to the upper, making any separation impossible .

3. Why might signs of workmanship be visible?

Removing degraded polyurethane requires thorough mechanical cleaning . Especially on suede leathers , small technical marks may be visible near the seam: these are the hallmarks of the manual restoration required to ensure a perfect seal.

4. How long does the procedure take?

The process takes an average of 4 weeks . This is the essential technical time for the complete removal of chemical residues , preparation of the materials, professional gluing, sewing and final quality tests.

5. Is home pickup available everywhere?

Yes, we handle pickup and delivery worldwide via express courier. Whether you're in Milan, London, or New York, we'll arrange for your package to be picked up directly from your home or office.

6. How should I prepare the boot for shipping?

Prepare a well-sealed package : do not use original bags, shoe trees, or boxes. Include only the products to be repaired . Apply the label you will receive by email and hand it over to the courier. If you use Gmail , also check the Promotions section, as the email sometimes ends up there.

7. Can I resole any Blundstone model?

We work on almost all 500 and 550 series models. If you have any doubts about the feasibility of your pair, just send us a photo on WhatsApp : our experts will give you an immediate technical evaluation.

8. Why repair instead of buying a new pair?

Because with the Svig rubber sole and Opanka stitching, you'll permanently eliminate the problem of crumbling. Plus, you keep your upper, which is already molded to your foot , resulting in a shoe that's more sturdy and comfortable than a new one.

9. When do I have to pay for the service?

Payment is only made upon completion . We'll contact you as soon as your Blundstones have passed the final quality inspection and are ready for return shipping.
