Repair Services

Even the finest shoes wear. Skilled artisans who know how these pairs are built restore them with the precision that went into making them.

Repair Services

Our repair service is available for Mario Minardi footwear only, and does not cover products from other brands.

Sole & heel replacement

Worn soles and heels replaced in premium materials, so the shoe keeps its structure and its comfort rather than merely its appearance.

  • Welted construction replaced like for like
  • Structural integrity restored, not patched
  • Original profile and stance preserved

Re-stitching & re-gluing

Loose stitching and parts that have come away are meticulously re-stitched and re-glued, preserving the original design and durability.

  • Matched thread and stitch density
  • The original construction, not a repair over it

Leather care & restoration

Cleaned, conditioned and restored, bringing the leather back to its original lustre and softness.

  • Deep clean and recondition
  • Lustre and softness returned

Customisation & adjustment

Modifications for a better fit, or personal touches added to a pair you already own.

  • Width, arch and lining adjustments
  • Personalisation on an existing pair

Recolouring & colour change

The original hue restored to its vibrancy — or the shoe transformed into a different colour entirely.

  • Original colour brought back
  • A complete change of colour, hand-applied

An assessment, then an estimate

The team inspects the condition of the pair and draws up a repair plan. You receive an estimate based on the treatment actually required, before any work begins.

Three — Repair

Fourteen working days at the bench

Our craftsmen restore the pair with the same attention that went into making it. The artisans who carry out repairs are the ones who understand how these shoes are built.

Four — Updates

You will hear from us

We keep you informed on the status of the repair throughout, so a fortnight without your shoes is not a fortnight without news of them.
