A Complete Selection for Craftsmen and Workshops

From everyday shoe repairs to specialist leatherwork, our shoe grindery and sundries stock is built to meet the demands of busy workshops. With strong, versatile materials and durable fittings, you’ll find everything needed to handle a wide range of tasks, from shoe and boot repairs with soles, heels, laces, adhesives, and tips, to saddlery and tack maintenance with rivets, buckles, riempies, and waxed threads for reliable leather repair. It also supports harness work with heavy-duty needles, awls, and fastenings designed for strength and longevity, as well as leather crafting with dyes, sheeting, and workshop consumables for creating or restoring quality goods.

Our leather riempies are strong, flexible, and cut from quality hide, making them ideal for a wide range of applications in saddlery, harness work, repairs, and traditional craft projects. Valued for their durability and versatility, they provide a reliable fastening or lacing solution where strength is essential.

Sheeting & Squares

Keep your bench supplied with basket‑weave and banner sole sheeting for common repairs. Options include squares and full sheets in useful thicknesses for comfort and durability. Feather Crepe, TOPY and Dri‑Foot lines are available where specified to handle wear and grip requirements. Colours cover typical black, brown and beige so matching is straightforward. Clear sizing helps you reorder quickly without guesswork.

Heels, Soles & Tips

Replace worn components with standardised heels, soles and nylon tips that fit common profiles. Phillips soles and multiple heel formats support frequent requests without special orders. Nylon tips are listed across sizes so dress shoes can be stabilised quickly. Combined with solid sheeting and glue, most walk‑in jobs can be completed same day. It’s a streamlined selection for efficient bench work.

Awls, Needles & Nails

Equip your bench with awl handles and hooked awls for precise work. Harness and curved needles cover stitch‑intensive tasks while sacking needles add flexibility for thicker materials. Rubber heel nails in standard sizes keep replacements secure under load. Keeping these basics stocked reduces downtime and repeat visits. Dependable tools and consumables make a noticeable difference in throughput.

Miscellaneous Sundries

Round and flat laces, football boot laces and waxed thread keep the finishing drawer ready. Dyes, buckles, cap rivets and leather riempies help with colour matching and secure assembly. Knives and brushes are the simple essentials that speed up everyday work. We aim to keep these items predictable and easy to reorder. With the right sundries on hand, small benches can run like full shops.

Glue

Neoprene glue is available in small and large cases to suit workload. It handles sole bonding and general leatherwork reliably and keeps turnaround times predictable. Stocking both sizes prevents mid‑job delays and supports busy periods. Use in well‑ventilated spaces and follow best practice for bond strength. We prioritise practical, workshop‑friendly pack sizes.
