SOLE PROTECTION
KEEP YOUR SOLES INTACT FOR LONGER
Many fashionista's state, shoes can make or break an outfit, and many invest heavily into designer shoes because of this. You can plan your whole outfit around your shoes, so it only makes sence to invest in protecting them.
Fashionista's have been trying to protect the soles of designer shoes for along time now, with such drastic ways, such as painting the worn areas with nail polish or sticking on cheep protective strips. None of these methods help or keep the original look intact.
ReedFashion creator Christopher Reed, has invested his time heavily over the last few years into a sustainable and effective way to enhance the lifespan for the soles original appearance, and increase the protection against the elements.
The product we use to protect your shoes soles has been tested by many fashionista's with amazing results. You know it works when fashionists ask
"how do you keep your Louboutins so red"
Why not keep the feeling of love of your expensive and favourite designer shoes for longer. Do you remember the first Christian Louboutin shoes you got? how do you remember that sinking feeling of disappointment after seeing the sole ruined after the first time wearing them out?... Lets protect those soles!
WHY PROTECT MY SOLES?
IS IT WORTH IT? I MEAN ITS ONLY THE BOTTOMS WHO CARES?
Imagine you have just spent your hard earned money on £500+ designers shoes, only to find out, with one wear, the beautiful red sole is scuffed and ruined. The overal look is spoiled and noticable. To get them back to pristine condition again you will need to spend £100+ which will only last one wear. Its a very expensive and ineffecient way of keeping your shoes looking the best. This money could be spent elsewhere, like buying more shoes, and expanding your collection.
You wouldnt buy the latest £1000+ smart phone, to not protect the screen? only to scratch it or drop it in the first few days? thus ruining the look, its functionability and spending £100's in repairs? same goes for your designer shoes too!

EXPLAINING THE SCIENCE
WHY OUR SOLE PROTECTION IS SO GENIUS
The product is a ultra-thin 6mil urethane laminate film, similar in appearance to vinyl, that forms a transparent protective layer when it is applied to a smooth paint surface. The film itself is made up of polyurethane, adhesives, polyester, and a clear coat.
To eliminate scratches/scuffs and to "self-heal" the film does this through an advanced process called microreplication. Aside from protecting against fading and stains, these layers work together to both protect the paint and react to heat in order to "heal" any surface damage inflicted on the film.
When the film is scratched or scuffed, the surface shows visible damage to the film. However, once heat is applied (by a hairdryer for example), the underlying layers "rearrange" themselves on a particle-level in order to dissipate the scratches/scuffs.
Ontop of the film a chemical polymer solution is applied which creates an additional hydrophobic layer of protection. This coating is a permanent or semi-permanent solution with its chemically intrinsic properties, does not break down in normal atmospheric conditions like rain or summer.
The coating will prevent chemical stains arising from acidic contaminants from bonding into the paint. The coating also stops the paint from oxidizing, preventing it from fading and wearing a dull look
