Dimar Shoe Repair

My Party at the Port Allen Edmonds Fifth Street boots in Whiskey Marbled and Black Marbled Shell Cordovan are finally complete.

I decided to keep them on the dressier side to complement the sleek profile of the boot. I started with a unique dark brown scalloped split welt, then built them with Gerberei Martin oak bark tanned leather full soles. The three-layer leather heel bases were handmade from the same oak bark leather, along with custom combination heels featuring dark brown 6mm SVIG Crespino rubber.

For added durability, I installed a 3mm SVIG Crespino half sole with a subtly curved waist, then finished them with 3mm flush-mounted solid brass toe plates that pair perfectly with the half sole.

A big thank you to everyone at Allen Edmonds for hosting a fantastic event and giving us the opportunity to select our own shell cordovan leathers. Special thanks to Alex for allowing Steve and me to customize our boots without bottoms so we could bring our own creativity to the final build.

A pair of vintage Canadian military service boots, rebuilt for decades more wear. We upgraded them with new black flat welts, 3mm leather midsoles, and Dr. Sole's vintage-inspired Raw Cord full soles and heels. A classic military silhouette, now equipped with durability, traction, and timeless style.

Dr. Martens recrafts are always a fun challenge. Taking an iconic boot and upgrading it in every way possible, we installed leather split welts, fibreglass shanks, cork filler, leather midsoles, and Vibram Middlebury outsoles. To finish it off, we used the brand's signature yellow welt stitching for a factory-inspired look with a lifetime of durability.

This pair of Red Wing Beckman 9032s received a fresh resole while retaining the original welts. We added new leather midsoles and heel bases, finished with Vibram mini lug half soles and heels for a classic look with improved durability and traction.

Introduced in 1982, the Allen Edmonds Park Avenue has become one of the most iconic American dress shoes ever made. Worn by business leaders, cultural icons, and even U.S. presidents, it remains a benchmark for classic style and craftsmanship.

This pair arrived in need of a new foundation. We preserved the original Goodyear welts and installed Vibram Eton soles and heels with traditional leather heel bases, giving them renewed durability while maintaining their refined appearance.

Built to be recrafted, built to last.

These super cute ladies Carmina cap toe oxfords had their leather soles protected with Casali 2.0 srl silk half soles in a beautiful Rose Water colour.

We had some fun getting creative with this pair of Blundstones. Rebuilt with Goodyear welt construction, black split welts, Vibram rubber midsoles, teal wedge midsoles, and Vibram Newporter outsoles for improved traction and longevity. A pop of blue in the welt stitching ties the whole build together and makes this one truly unique.

Known as Canada’s finest bootmaker, Viberg built the foundation for this incredible pair. We completed the transformation with our Jade Green Dr. Sole recraft package, finished off on our Rapid E outsole stitcher. Blacked out leather edges tied everything together for a beautiful contrasting finish.
