Men’s Ben Sherman shoes have been given a new lease of life with a pair of genuine Loake tan sole units. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a before photo.Finding the right sole for this repair wasn’t easy. It took a lot to source a sole that matched the style, shape, and profile of the original shoe but it was worth the effort.I always aim to find the best possible solution rather than settling for a compromise. Sometimes the right repair takes a little longer.#FormbyShoeRepairs #BenSherman #ShoeRepair #ShoeResole #Resoling #MensShoes #SuedeShoes #Cobbler #TraditionalCraftsmanship #RepairDontReplace #SustainableFashion #QualityRepairs #BritishFootwear #FootwearRepair #LeatherCraft #MadeToLast #BeforeAndAfter #SupportLocalBusiness ...
