Repairing Zips, Buckles and Details on Town Shoes: Extend their lifespan
A stuck zip, broken buckle or worn velcro can quickly render your dress shoes unusable. Rather than part with a pair you love, why not consider a repair? At TILLI, we bring your shoes back to life with precise craftsmanship and quality materials. What's more, the Repair Bonus makes these services even more affordable for zips, buckles and velcro, making repair both a practical and economical solution. Find out how our expert makers transform your damaged shoes into a pair ready to last you for years to come.
Why repair your shoes rather than replace them?
Investing in quality dress shoes is often a conscious choice. These models are generally made from top-of-the-range materials and designed to last. However, even these shoes can require repairs. When things like a stuck zipper, broken buckle or warped eyelet start to cause problems, you may wonder whether it's simpler to throw them away and buy a new pair. But repairing is a wiser solution.
Having your shoes repaired means you can keep a model that suits you perfectly. In economic terms, repairs are much more affordable than buying new shoes, especially for high-end models. Thanks to the Repair Bonus, services such as zipper, buckle or velcro replacement benefit from an immediate discount, making this solution even more advantageous. The Refashion label supports consumers in their choice to repair rather than throw away.
Last but not least, repairing is an ecological gesture, helping to reduce waste while extending the life of your favorite items.
How to repair the components of your town shoes?
Zip repair
The zippers on some city shoes play a key role in ensuring their practicality and aesthetics. When a zipper jams, wears out or breaks, our makers diagnose the cause of the problem. If the slider is damaged, replacement may suffice. In the case of a completely worn-out zipper, we offer a complete replacement, meticulously carried out to ensure the repair is as discreet as possible. Our makers make sure to use high-quality zippers, adapted to the color and style of your pair. Thanks to the Repair Bonus, the cost of this service is reduced from €45 to €35, making it as affordable as it is effective.
Buckle and Velcro repair
Buckles and velcro fasteners, whether purely functional or also decorative, are among the key elements of some dress shoes. A broken buckle or worn velcro can render the shoe unusable. Our makers offer a replacement or repair service, selecting parts that respect the shoe's original style.
For Velcro fasteners, a simple replacement of the worn Velcro can restore optimum wear. For buckles, the work consists in carefully dismantling the damaged part and replacing it with a similar model. These operations, which are eligible for the Repair Bonus, enable us to restore your shoes at a lower cost, while preserving their elegance. The cost of replacing a buckle or velcro is €11 instead of €19.
Eyelet repair
Eyelets play a central role in holding laces in place and ensuring optimal shoe fit. A damaged or missing eyelet can not only detract from the appearance of your shoes, but also reduce their comfort.
At TILLI, we offer eyelet replacement with matching models. Although this service is not eligible for the Repair Bonus, it remains an affordable (€11) and essential solution for extending the life of your shoes.

Taking care of your shoes after repairs

Clean them with appropriate products, regularly nourish the leather with a special cream and use shoe trees to maintain their shape. For zips, apply a specific lubricant from time to time to ensure they work properly.
Inspect your shoes periodically to detect any wear on buckles, Velcro fasteners or eyelets. Prompt attention will reduce the need for major repairs in the future.
