A Timberland to Color
A customer came to us with a pair of ankle boots Timberland Yellow Boot that he had worn for years. Although they were sturdy and full of character, time and wear had taken their toll. The sole was worn out and the boot needed a good overhaul. But the customer didn't stop at a simple repair: he wanted to give his shoes a unique touch with a special customization.
Here's how we proceeded:
- Sole Change : The original sole was completely worn out, so we carefully removed it. Instead of the classic honey-colored sole, the customer chose a Vibram coral color. It is a bold and original choice, which has given a modern push to the classic look of Timberlands, while maintaining the resistance and stability that distinguish these boots.
- General Repairs : In addition to the sole, we fixed various small imperfections, such as ruined stitching and parts of the upper that showed signs of wear. We restored the structure and strength of the boots, maintaining their timeless style.
- Leather Cleaning and Regeneration : After the repairs, we took care of a deep cleaning and a specific treatment for the leather. This has restored elasticity and shine to the upper, preserving the original color and character of the leather.
The result was a perfect mix of the timeless quality of the Timberland Yellow Boot with a touch of personality. Not only did we bring a beloved pair of shoes back to life, but we also helped transform them into a unique piece, reflecting the customer's style and creativity.
