By using high-quality boot elastic when we replace the panels, we can bring your boots to back to life so you can keep on wearing your boots for years.
Boot Elastic Gussets
Price range: $90.00 through $270.00
Description
The elastic side panels on Chelsea boots naturally lose their tension over time, leaving the boots feeling loose and unsupported. Replacing worn elastic with premium-quality panels restores the original fit and extends the life of your boots for years.
At Baxter & Black, we replace elastic on Chelsea boots from RM Williams, Blundstone, Loake, Church’s, Crockett & Jones and many other makers. We use templates based on the original specifications, ensuring every panel is cut to the correct size for a balanced fit that feels as close as possible to new.
Chelsea boots are available with a wide range of elastic colours and textures. We stock the most common options, including black and brown. If your boots require a rare colour or pattern, we can source a matching elastic from overseas, although this may extend the repair time.
We aim for every repair to look factory finished. We remove old stitching and sew through the original stitch holes to protect the leather, recreating the original stitching pattern wherever possible. Every repair is backed by our workmanship guarantee, except where previous incorrect repairs have already weakened the leather.
