Designer Sole Protectors: Louboutin, Gucci, Dior & More

Thin rubber protection soles add grip on slippery floors and stop leather soles wearing out on NZ footpaths. Mail-in from anywhere in NZ.

Sole Protectors for Louboutin, Gucci, Dior and More

Designer shoes have thin leather soles that wear fast outdoors. Protection soles keep them looking new for longer.
We protect Christian Louboutin, Gucci, Dior, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Hermès and more. Tabis have their own page.
We use premium soling from brands like Topy, Vibram and SVIG.

Sole Colours

Red, Black, Brown, Beige, Caramel.

Red is colour matched for Louboutin red bottoms.

Heels will be matched to existing colour. Please add a note to change colour.

Straight join line is standard.

How Thin Is It?

We use the thinnest sole that suits your shoe, usually 1mm to 1.5mm. We sand the original sole clean first, so the finished shoe stays close to its original thickness.

When to Fit Sole Protection

Before you wear them outside. Lightly worn soles are fine too. If the leather is worn through, the shoe needs a resole first. Send us a photo for a free quote.

Designer Sole Protection Questions

Will it look bulky?

No. We sand the old sole before fitting, so the new rubber adds about 1mm overall. It's trimmed flush to the edge.

Is red rubber better than repainting Louboutin soles?

Yes. Paint wears off quickly on pavement. Red rubber is coloured all the way through, so it stays red as it wears.

Can it be replaced later?

Yes. When the rubber wears, we remove it and fit a new one. The leather underneath stays protected.

All Round Great!

I was sceptical getting my shoes repaired as they are my favourite and expensive pair but I was so impressed with the communication, transparency, efficiency, cost and quality of work! I will definitely be using Shane’s again and recommending to anyone!
Thank you.

Hi Alice
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We totally get the nerves around sending in a favourite (and fancy!) pair, so it means a lot to hear we hit the mark on quality, communication, and care. We’re stoked you felt confident in the process, and we’ll be here whenever your shoes need a bit more love. Really appreciate the recommendation too!

Kind regards
Eden

Perfect!

I sent my shoes on a Friday and received them the next Friday! The service was quick and the shoes were repaired perfectly! I was a little nervous as they were very expensive shoes, but he did an excellent job! I would recommend Shane to even the most discerning of customers!! :)

Hi Kate
I really appreciate your trust—especially with your high-end shoes! I know how nerve-wracking it can be to send them off, so I’m thrilled to hear you’re happy with the result. Quick turnaround and top-notch repairs are what I aim for! Thanks for the glowing recommendation, and I’d be happy to help anytime your shoes need a little extra care.
Kind regards
Shane
