Re-soling Service

R300

We offer re-soling of your Bummels. Please drop them off at our shop in George or alternatively send us your shoes with a courier of your choice to 46 York Street, corner York & Laing, George. The lead time for re-soling is 2-3 weeks from the day we receive your shoes, until we ship them back again.

You can opt to collect the shoes after re-soling or have them returned to you via courier (Regular courier fees apply). You can also add the re-soling service to a new shoe order, which will save you on shipping fees. Please leave a note about the desired return option in the comments section with your re-soling order. For all Bummel shoes from size 2 - 13 we now offer four sole options: thin sole in natural and black; thick sole; and rough sole.

IMPORTANT: Before ordering, please consult the size chart and add your actual foot measurement to the comments section when ordering. Regular delivery time is three weeks from date of order. If you would like a rush order we can bump you to the front of the que, Click here to add a rush order to your cart. For extra comfort and care add a Bummel leather footbed and leather food to your cart. We would love to send you the right size first time so could you please measure your feet as explained below to determine your right Bummel size. Please note that Bummel shoes are generally made for wider feet. If you have a very narrow foot, your foot will be quite loose in our shoes. Adding a footbed generally fills that extra space. 1. Stand upright with your weight evenly distributed on both your feet, placing one foot on a piece of paper. 2. Ask someone to mark the spot where your heel touches the paper. Not the wide back curve of your heel but rather where the skin of your heel touches the paper.(See picture below) 3. Mark the longest toe looking straight down from above. Note that your big toe is not always your longest toe. 4. Draw to parallel lines and measure the distance between them. 5. See size chart to determine your size for the style you have chosen. Note different styles have different lengths. In the size charts your foot length will correspond with a Bummel size so you can know what to order.
