Grip to leather soles

[sole2sole]

Hello there!

 

Having recently bought a lovely pair of shoes, I was wondering if there is a way to add a thin sheet of rubber to the original leather soles without having the soles cut out and replaced. I've heard this is called a rubber biscuit?

 

This is to provide some much needed grip and a little more durability.

 

Thanks in advance!

yes this is possible, I can offer the service mail order, or if you give us your location we may be able to recommend someone close by.

Hi Lee,

 

Thanks for the speedy reply!

 

I'm based in East London. Are you close by or do you know of a company that provides such a service? Is this a normal requirement or something a little more specialist?

 

Thanks you.

You need a Protective sole which is a thin rubber sole that covers all of the original leather sole or else you need one of these...but you will need to replace the original sole

Surely just a fine mesh stick on sole is all that is needed in this case? Any decent shoe repairer will be able to do this for you.

this is every day work for most, but as with every repair there are right & wrong ways to do it, find an independent repairer & you should be OK. www.jamesshoecare.co.uk are based in London & are quite proactive in the trade so should be good.
