We work with dance companies, theatre productions, and individual performers across Canada to extend the life of performance footwear. Services include tap plate replacement, suede sole refinishing, heel cap replacement for ballroom shoes, pointe shoe platform reinforcement, and custom sole modifications. We also provide shoe dyeing services for theatrical productions requiring specific colour matches for costumes and period-accurate footwear reproductions.
