The classic Larson from G.H. Bass.

 

A timeless model that epitomises the brand and enjoys popularity amongst both men and women.

 

You brought these in because you were concerned about the condition of the soles and uppers.

 

The first thing that caught his attention was the front section.

Although there are signs of wear, the level of wear suggests they can still be worn for some time.

 

And the wear and tear on the toes, and

 

She was also concerned about the wear and tear on the heels.

It looks as though both need reinforcing.

 

As there were signs of dirt and dust on the upper,

It looks as though it would be best to carry out some maintenance.

 

This time, we’ll be reinforcing the front part of the sole and the heel, and

I have carried out maintenance on the upper.

 

Here is the finished result.

 

Half Rubber Soles

On the front section, where signs of wear were evident,

We have reinforced it by fitting a half rubber sole.

 

The section where the leather sole meets the rest of the shoe features a half-rubber sole

It has been processed to a thin thickness and finished to ensure it does not peel off.

 

Vintage Steels

Vintage steel on the toe.

 

As well as significantly reducing wear on the toes,

It also helps to prevent the half-rubber sole from peeling away.

 

Dove Tail (England)

The top piece is replaced using a dovetail joint rather than a rubber heel.

It is a material with a more stylish design than rubber heels.

 

Even with a half-rubber sole and vintage steel reinforcements,

The finish has been achieved without detracting from the overall look of the sides.

 

Finally, we carry out maintenance on the upper, and the shoe is complete.

 

A combination of a half-rubber sole and vintage steel

This is a service for which we are receiving a significant increase in requests.

With this specification, it is generally possible to avoid a full sole replacement,

You’ll be able to wear them for many years to come.

The cost of a full sole replacement relative to the price of the shoes is

If the cost is expected to be high,

Include this specification as one of the options for sole reinforcement

It might be worth including it.

Please do give it some thought.

Please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

We look forward to welcoming you all.

 

Thank you very much.
