Resole Qualify: This term refers to the conditions under which a pair of vellies (shoes) can be resoled. The first resole is provided free of charge, but subsequent resoles will cost R300.00 each.
1. The sole of the vellies must be worn out at least 70%, indicating significant use.
2. The inner board, which is the structural component inside the shoe, should be in perfect condition and not showing any signs of wear and tear or damage.
3 The texture of the sole should be worn out between 70 to 80%.
If the vellies meet these criteria, they are eligible for resoling, and the customer will be charged R300.00 for each subsequent resole.
Full Revive: This term refers to a more extensive restoration service for vellies. The cost for a full revive is R680.00.
THE CONDITIONS FOR A FULL REVIVE ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1.The inner board of the vellies is damaged, cracked, or torn.
2. The stitch-down, which refers to the stitching that attaches the upper part of the shoe to the sole, has come undone.
3. The outer sole is worn out and has reached the inner board, causing it to stick out.
In these cases, a full revive is required to restore the vellies to a usable condition.
Important notice: If the leather of the vellies is torn where the stitch down is, it cannot be revived.
