RECRAFTING
速
Allen Edmonds shoes are so well-made that we can actually return them to their original glory with our exclusive Recrafting process. Recrafting is far more than simple shoe repair. Using the original manufacturing process, we literally rebuild worn footwear from the bottom up. With five packages to choose from, Recrafting is the perfect way to give new life to old shoes. See a demonstration video of Allen Edmonds Recrafting at www.allenedmonds.com/recrafting.
