Birkenstocks!
This one was hanging on by a thread when we got to them.
Completely replaced the footbed and Soles. A deep cleaning on the uppers, some serious conditioning and some ElbowGrease™️ brought these bad boys back to life!

One of the first custom Rebuilds we did in our new location!

This beautiful pair of Florsheim Imperial LongWings had their original soles and heels replaced with:
✅️ Double JR Leather Soles (first pair stitched after our move!)
✅️ New JR DoveTail Combination Heels ona fresh Heel Base
✅️ Brass Tack work mimicking the original design of Florshiems (in)famous Su***de Heels
✅️ Metal LuLu French Tips

We even replaced the shanks, internal cork, welting stitching, sock liners, and more!

These were an absolute treat to work on. The quality in a shoe like this is so nice to see. The Stitcher God's played nice this time, allowing us to easily stitch through every single new layer of leather without issue!
