I used to send my designer bags interstate before I was referred to Sole Service by Votre Luxe in Hyde Park. I had my Boy Chanel recoloured by Sole Service. It was scuffed and the leather damaged, I was looking to sell and I wanted to ensure it looked its best.

Courtney did an amazing of restoring my handbag and I couldn't be happier with the process. Its came back looking new near.

If you are thinking of sending your beloved RM’s for repair, DON’T.

I should have realised from the start that they were incompetant.

Sole Service initially gave me a quote to resole and insert a new insole in my RM’s for $238.90 and when i accepted they sent an invoice for $257.40. Which i queried and they amended. Then once i had paid they organised a courier who took my boots and they then sent me another invoice saying the first remained unpaid. Again I emailed them and they corrected the error.

They had the boots for 4 weeks before shipping back to me, allegedly fully restored! Although the new outer sole was adequate (pretty clunky and nowhere near as nice as the original) I figured it would a least prolong the life of the boots. However, the new leather insole was a disgrace, they had just laid it over the old crumbling substrate and it was like walking barefoot on gravel. I complained and was told by the owner to send them back for another attempt. You would think that the repair of the initial botched repair would be done immediately but no, I had to wait a further 7 weeks for them to come back. Now that I have them, I would say the new insole is only marginally better than the previous repair and little bits of rubber lining keep working their way out under my feet and I have to keep taking the boots off and shaking it out. Also, the elastic on the sides has been stretched so much that the boots now are a poor fit. After all the hassle, I have decided to move on and put it behind me and buy an new pair of RM’s and when they are due for repair i will send them to RM instead.

I suggest you do the same!

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, we hired an older cobbler (who is no longer with us) he had 40 + years of experience but unfortunately, we found he could not keep up to our standard.

We no longer repair boots and have since let the cobbler go as he caused damage to our good name and brand after nine long years of great service and excellent five-star reviews.

We are focussing on handbag cleaning and restoration as our all-female team completes it and we have total control over the outcome. We are working hard to keep our staff employed during Covid.

Please stay safe. Team Sole Service

So, you made a mistake and hired someone not capable yet I am the one who has a ruined pair of RM's and facing a $600 replacement cost.

I live in regional Queensland and Sole Service was able to quickly repair and return my Michael Kors tote for such a great price. The courier pickup/delivery was free and the communication from start to finish was fantastic.

Overall the whole process was so hassle free and convenient. I would highly recommend Sole Service to anyone needing their bags or shoes repaired!

Excellent quality repair/restoration of a pair of 15+ year old RM Williams boots. Free courier service and lots of communication. Reasonable price for new soles and heels, new tugs, new elastic gussets and new inner linings. Very highly recommended. The boots look like new.

Approximate cost: $350
