Job Breakdown Sheet

1. Select sole

Use a precut or cut out new sole.

2. Mark line

20-30mm back from wear line. Line is drawn on the waist of the shoe, generally on an angle; draw the line so that it gets ground off.

3. Grind shoe then sole

​Straight and shallow grind. Grind to edge of shoe. Taper the new sole and check for fit. Need a nice "square" edge.

4. Glue shoe then sole

Shoe is safer out of the way and often needs 2 coats. New sole only needs one coat as it's not porous.

5. Heat and assemble

Shoe on last then line new sole up and press firmly at waist.
CHECK glue line to make sure it is all stuck.
Then Press.

6. Trim with knife

Nice and close. 

7. Trim with machine

Mini band. Remove burrs. Rub off any random bits of glue with your thumb or a piece of crepe.

8. Polish

Paint or dye edges and polish.
