alxfer Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Customer came in today with a pair of calf length leather boots. The backs on the inside have perished and are scraggy. Normally I would have taken on something like this, but this pair have no zips on them, so my 'pigs t*ts' for fingers won't do them justice. It'd be like trying to wallpaper your hall through the front door letterbox. He asked if I knew anyone who would be willing to undertake this mission. Any takers?? PM me if interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 There is a tool for doing this job and lt looks like a couple of long shoe horns spring loaded, twas in the "Gotz" catalogue. I used them with great success after getting used to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darrenbooth Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 just a thought,if you removed the lining woul boot still stand tall ?if so run the patcher round the ankle of boot and cut away lining.also you didn't say if boot could be turned inside out ,if it could you could do this to replace lining.i dont know what you would charge for a job like that but to be honest doing jobs like this sometimes gives you a sense of accomplishment in the fact that your good enough to have done it,good luck.

ironplanet uk900 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I could probably do this, but would have to have the upper flat on my bench. It wouldn't be cheap, but an excellent job is possible. Obviously we would need a peek at the boots in question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
