Goodyear-made shoes Goodyear-made shoes are suitable for multiple high-quality repairs. Because of the double stitching with which the sole is connected to the upper part of the shoe, the entire outer sole, including the heel, can be replaced without affecting the shoe's structure or comfort levels. We recommend using a specialised cobbler to repair your Goodyear-made shoe. All cobblers affiliated with the Schoenmakersgilde (NL) and Meesterschoenmakers (BE) can be relied upon for expert repairs on your Goodyear-made shoes.

Repairs using original materials Cobblers who are members of 'Het Schoenmakersgilde' (the Dutch Cobblers' Guild) in the Netherlands or are in possession of the 'Van Bommel meesterschoenmaker' certificate in Belgium meet the quality requirements of Schoenfabriek van Bommel. These cobblers use original Van Bommel materials for their repairs. You can find a cobbler in your area at www.stichtingschoenmakersgilde.nl or www.meesterschoenmaker.be

Don't delay If you intend to give your shoes another lease on life by having a cobbler perform repairs, do not wait until the wear and tear process has made the shoes unwearable! If you do, there is a chance that the shoes are damaged beyond repair.
