The dancer said it was her late mothers idea to have the shoes restored: “It just turned out that life is busy as we all know it, and I never got the opportunity to get them fixed.”
Each episode, The Repair Shop features different people having personal loved pieces restored by expert craftspeople.
“My idea was to have them mounted somehow, just slightly salvaged in some way, but Dean exceeded my expectations,” Felix added.
Felix worked as Head of Dance at St Martin’s Girls School in Solihull until her retirement, and has since been awarded an MBE.
The Repair Shop airs on 8 April at 20:00 BST on BBC1.
