Shoe & Boot Repairs in Nowra
Why repair your trusted footwear?
Breaking in a new pair of shoes takes time. More often than not, your well-worn favourites are far more comfortable than anything brand new on the shelf. Replacing worn soles or heels is not only a sustainable choice, but it is also a cost-effective way to preserve that perfect, worn-in fit.
At Lomae Arts, we believe in honest advice. When you bring your footwear to us, we will examine the leather and the structure of the shoe. If we believe they are past their best or aren’t worth the cost of repair, we will always tell you upfront.
Our Specialised Services
Full & Half Resoling
We replace worn-out soles with premium leather or durable rubber (including long-lasting Vibram soles). Ideal for work boots, business shoes, and daily walking footwear to restore their original grip and structure.
R.M. Williams & Boot Restoration
Specialised care for classic Australian leather boots. We replace stretched elastics, repair pull tabs, and fully resole Goodyear-welted boots using traditional methods to maintain their comfort and integrity.
Protective Non-Slip Soles (Topy)
We can apply a thin, durable rubber protective sole (Topy) to your new or lightly worn shoes. This adds immediate slip-resistance on wet surfaces and significantly extends the lifespan of your original leather soles.
Heel Replacements & Restitching
From replacing worn rubber heel blocks to restitching loose linings, repairing broken buckles, and patching cracked leather seams. No job is too small to keep your shoes safe and wearable.
Professional Stretching & Ease Adjustments
If your favourite shoes have become tight or rub uncomfortably, we can gently stretch the width, length, or calves to ease pressure points. We also perform clean sole and heel build-ups to accommodate orthopaedic requirements.
Boot Zips, Eyelets & Hardware Repairs
We repair and replace damaged boot zips, broken eyelets, hooks, buckles, and other footwear hardware. Ideal for boots and shoes that are still structurally sound but need practical repairs to restore secure fastening, comfort, and everyday wearability.
