Who Doesn't Love Sandals?
Of all the shoes ever made, when it comes to comfort and foot freedom, all pale in comparison to the sandal.
Wet or dry, socks or no socks, and from hiking to snoozing on a hammock somewhere, there are sandals to fit any lifestyle.
Sadly, your favorite sandals can fall victim to the regular wear and tear of everyday use. From stitching and velcro failure to broken and/or missing buckles and rings, if your sandals are starting to break down, don't throw them out!
Our skilled Houston Shoe Hospital cobblers can bring them back to working order and get them back on your bare feet in no time at all.
Sole Repair for Sandals
Most sandals are made with thin rubber soles. These thin soles keep you comfortable and in close contact to the ground, but they can be problematic if you actually want to wear your sandals outside of your bedroom!
Inevitably, the soles will get worn down or pull apart, but don't worry. We can fix those sandals!
Our Houston Shoe Hospitals cobblers will either re-glue the existing rubber or leather soles back down if they are still in good condition, or we will completely replace your soles and get them back on your feet in no time.
Sandal Liner Replacement
We can install a brand new leather sock liner—unwrinkled and fresh—on the footbed of your sandals that will provide both extra comfort and a crisp and clean new smell.
Additionally, we can replace the heel liner at the back of your heel straps to ensure you have just the right amount of cushioning.
Sandal Custom Repairs
Missing a buckle or snap? Need to repair a strap or rebuild a broken sandal thong? Our cobblers can do a myriad of custom repair for you. We can also replace lost or broken hardware like d-rings, eyelets, buckles, rivets, etc.
At Houston Shoe Hospital, we inventory thousands of pieces of hardware in several different finishes, including many styles of rivets - round heads, raised heads and flat heads - as well as hundreds of buckles.
We know how important it is to best match the original hardware of your sandals, and we have a near limitless collection on hand for our craftsmen to work with.
