Pros and Cons."},"content":{"rendered":"

At times, our shoes need some type of repair for aesthetic or functional purposes. When the rubber sole of my hiking boots started to separate from the foam midsole, I decided that using some type of shoe glue was the best solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoe repair can be done yourself or by a shoe repair professional. Repairing shoes yourself can save you money but also includes a learning curve. Professional shoe repair will usually cost more, but the repair will be done well and may include a quality guarantee.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be easy and cost-effective to repair your shoes. I\u2019ve fixed some of my shoes and felt good that I can now wear my nice-looking shoes again. I had saved money and had made my shoes functional again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This chart shows the pros and cons of repairing your show yourself and having a professional do it. It explains how you can make a decision about each pair of shoes you have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Should I Repair My Shoes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you love your shoes, it\u2019s a good bet you\u2019ll want to repair them. Take into consideration that this may take time and money, but it can be well worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re likely to want to repair shoes that you use regularly. These shoes sometimes have worn tread, broken laces, and loose soles, and can be repaired in many cases cheaply and fairly quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t wear your shoes much, and they don\u2019t bring you joy, it\u2019s better to donate them, recycle<\/a> them, or throw them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Money<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some of the simplest repairs are replacing torn shoelaces and fixing frayed fabric. It makes sense that I would keep shoes that require only ten minutes to fix since I would be spending more money when buying a new pair of shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You will save time on simple repairs because taking the time to\u00a0buy new shoes<\/a> will include research, which may include going to the store, trying on the new shoes, and possibly returning if the shoes do not match your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One easy way to determine if you are ready to do shoe repairs is to look at your budget. Buying higher-quality shoes will ensure they last longer, but the initial investment and money needed for monthly care may be prohibitive for some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at your shoes and determine which you will keep, sell, donate, and use in the future. You can determine if you want to buy new shoes, refurbish or repair the shoes you have, and what your goals<\/a> are for the shoe in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

When Should I Let My Shoes Go?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A good pair of shoes can be similar to an investment. It can be just as valuable or more valuable as time passes. If your shoes cost a lot of money initially, you\u2019ll want to consider how much value they still hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If they have value and you like them, it\u2019s likely you want to keep them and repair them when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if your shoes do not hold monetary value and repairs would cost more than half the value of the shoe, it\u2019s usually best to donate them. Throw away your shoes only if no one can use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep<\/strong><\/td>Let Go<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
1. If the shoes still hold value. Usually, higher-priced shoes will hold some of their value.
2. If it doesn\u2019t matter how much the repair will cost because you love your shoes so much.
3. If the repairs are simple, and be done easily.
4. They are used each week for a purpose.<\/td>		1. If you don\u2019t find joy in them
consider selling them if they hold monetary value.
2. When they are not healthy for your feet and joints.
3. If the price of repair is more than half the cost of the shoe, it\u2019s likely a good idea to donate or sell.
4. If you don\u2019t use them or not enough.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Simple Repairs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A good way to get into doing it yourself (DIY) repairs is to start small. One way to do this is to look at simple repairs that your shoes need that take 10 minutes or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 Minutes or Fewer Repairs<\/strong>
<\/td><\/tr>
Ways to Fix Your Shoelaces<\/strong>

1. Get some tape and roll it securely around the ends of frayed laces.

2. Use white Elmer\u2019s glue and mix it into the frayed shoestring tip. Use a sewing string and wrap it tightly around the end of the shoestring. Cut the string and let the shoestring dry.

3. Another method is to cut the end of the frayed shoelace and insert it into a heat shrink tube (Amazon Link<\/a>) that matches the color of your other lace end. Then use a hairdryer to heat the tube until it shrinks.

4. Relacing the shoelaces in a new way can give you more shoelaces to use when tying your shoes. Try some of the lace methods from\u00a0Ian\u2019s Shoelace Site<\/a>.
<\/td><\/tr>
Replace a High Heel Tip<\/strong>

1. Determine if the heel tip needs to be replaced or if the heel itself is broken. If the heel is broken, it\u2019s likely not repairable unless it has just become detached from the shoe. (See Reattach High Heel)

2. Buy a set of new high-heel\u00a0replacement tips<\/strong>. (Amazon Link<\/a>)

3. Remove the old high heel tip and metal post\u00a0using pliers<\/strong>. You may use needle nose pliers but might want to have other types (Amazon Link<\/a>) of pliers for additional help.

4. Find the replacement tip the fits into the hole very snuggly. It should fit firmly into the hole and should not be moved.\u00a0Tap carefully with a hammer<\/strong>\u00a0if needed. Check that the tip is straight and when it is aligned correctly, you\u2019re done.
<\/td><\/tr>
Reattach High Heel<\/strong>

1. If your heels have become detached from the shoe sole, you can reapply the heel with strong\u00a0shoe glue<\/strong>.

2. Do a little research to find\u00a0strong glue<\/strong>\u00a0and follow the instructions given for application.

3. Make sure the sole and heel are\u00a0clean<\/strong>\u00a0and ready to glue.

4.\u00a0Apply the glue<\/strong>\u00a0to both heel and sole unless otherwise stated.

5. Line up the heel and sole and slowly press together, making sure the heel is aligned correctly. You may need to\u00a0compress the heel<\/strong>\u00a0for a while to ensure the glue has bonded. Finding a larger clamp (Amazon Link<\/a>) is probably the best solution to ensure the heel is correctly attached to the sole. (Not worth it? If your high heels were bothering you already and causing issues with\u00a0foot pain<\/a>, try something healthier that might be cheaper in the long run.)
<\/td><\/tr>
Repair a Hole in the Shoe
<\/strong>
1. If the hole is in the sole of the shoe, use Shoe Goo (Amazon Link<\/a>) or a similar product filled in a hole.

2.\u00a0Use tape<\/strong>\u00a0or something like tape on the other side of the hole, so it doesn\u2019t get inside the shoe.

3. Use a\u00a0putty knife<\/strong>\u00a0or maybe a piece of cardboard to smooth out the glue so it is flush with the sole.

———————–

1. To patch a hole in the fabric of a shoe, try an\u00a0iron-<\/strong>on patch<\/strong>.

2.\u00a0Clean<\/strong>\u00a0the area to be patched. Let dry.\u00a0Cut<\/strong>\u00a0any frayed area around the whole. If needed, cut the patch to ensure accurate fit and preposition it to check.

3. Place\u00a0newspaper or a shoe tree<\/strong>\u00a0into the shoe, and cover the patch with a cloth, such as a\u00a0pillowcase<\/strong>, before ironing.

4. Iron the patch on through the cloth using the\u00a0high setting,\u00a0unless\u00a0your\u00a0shoe\u00a0is\u00a0made\u00a0of\u00a0delicate\u00a0material. Pass over the patch about 4-5 times and check the patch. Pass over the patch again 4-5times and recheck. Continue to iron until the patch is securely on the shoe.

Repair a Strap That\u2019s Come Undone<\/strong>

1. If the strap has ripped, you\u2019re likely out of luck unless you don\u2019t mind a patchwork strap. Check to see if it has most of the strap is intact<\/strong>. It needs to have enough length to insert into its former home.

2. Use shoe glue<\/strong> that is more liquid-like, like Super Glue (Amazon Link), so it will be able to be applied on the strap and move with the strap back to where it came from.

3. After the glue is applied to both sides of the strap end, ensure that the glue is applied to the distance of the strap that was previously tucked into the shoe.

4. Use a thin tool<\/strong>, such as a screwdriver or tweezers, to help insert the strap into the area where it was previously located.

5. Clamp down<\/strong> on the area where the strap was inserted for as long as the shoe glue instructions recommend. You\u2019ll want to get a strong clamp or a heavy object to provide pressure where the strap was inserted.
<\/td><\/tr>
Fix Your Flip Flops<\/strong>

1. If one of the straps has come loose, you might be able to save your flip-flops with a washer, which is usually used with a screw and nut.

2. Insert the strap<\/strong> into the hole that it came out of.

3. Push the strap through a wash<\/strong> that\u2019s just wide enough to allow it to pass. This should keep the strap from pulling back out again.

Complex Repairs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These repairs take longer and usually have more steps involved. If you want to save money and are handy, this is a good way to satisfy your desire to do it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most soles are glued with an adhesive that breaks down over time. The sole of the shoe may separate from the shoe and require glue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replace the Rubber section of a Dress Shoe Heel
\u00a0<\/strong>
1. If the rubber on your heels is worn or coming apart, try replacing them with a new rubber section. Measure the width, length, and thickness of the rubber on the heel.

2. Find the heel that matches the size you\u2019ve measured or is a bit larger. This way you can cut the excess off if needed.

3. Take off the old rubber section of the heel. This may cover a partial section of the heel or the entire heel.

4. Clean off the area with sandpaper if needed, to ensure an even surface. Apply some type of shoe glue and follow its instructions. Make sure to apply pressure to ensure a secure seal as the glue dries.

5. Remove any excess glue and use a utility knife to carefully cut away any excess rubber. If the rubber is thick, use sandpaper to grind it down, or carefully use a Dremel tool (Amazon Link<\/a>) to shape the heel. Take your time for the best results.
<\/td><\/tr>
Replace the Entire Sole of a Shoe<\/strong>

1. Replacing an entire rubber or leather sole usually takes longer and can be more detail-intensive. Look at the sole in detail. Determine if it is stitched or glued on. (Sometimes shoes will show stitching that looks real but isn\u2019t. To recognize real stitching, you can usually look under the shoe and see if the stitching goes through the sole<\/em>.)

2. If the sole has become unglued, you can buy a replacement sole and glue on the new one. This is possible as long as the shoe hasn\u2019t been damaged or is falling apart. (Follow the method mentioned for partial sole replacement.)

3. If the sole is stitched on, you\u2019ll need to decide if you want to get a new sole to stitch on or have a cobbler resole the shoe for you.

4. Stitching on a new sole will take a bit of a learning curve and quite a long time. You\u2019ll need to decide on a\u00a0leather or rubber sole. You\u2019ll also need the\u00a0tools\u00a0to help you craft a new sole if no replacements are available and tools to sew the sole to the shoe.

5. Another option is to glue a\u00a0thin rubber sole\u00a0over the old leather one. This will likely take much less work. (Follow the method mentioned for partial sole replacement.)

6. Before you take off the sole, you\u2019ll need to\u00a0remove the heel. If there\u2019s a thin rubber or leather sole attached remove this first. Then look for nails and use pliers to pull out the nails. Nipper\u00a0(Amazon Link) cutting pliers may work best. Be careful when removing heels, some are made of cardboard-like material.

7. To replace the leather sole,\u00a0take off the old sole<\/strong>\u00a0by cutting all the stitching all the way around the shoe. Be aware some stitching will stop at the heel. To cut the stitching you\u2019ll usually need a\u00a0Xacto<\/strong>\u00a0(Amazon Link<\/a>) type knife to cut on the edge between the layers of the sole and shoe bottom.

8. Once the sole is removed, you\u2019ll usually find cork filling glued inside.\u00a0Remove all the cork<\/strong>\u00a0from the shoe bottom, and thoroughly glue on a\u00a0new cork<\/strong>\u00a0filler (Amazon link<\/a>). After it is dry, you need to\u00a0sand<\/strong>\u00a0the cork down so it is level with the edge of the shoe bottom and fills in the shoe bottom as before.

9. Next, place\u00a0glue on the sole<\/strong>\u00a0and the shoe bottom. Follow glue instructions. Place the sole onto the shoe and wait indicted time for drying. Cut the leather that extends beyond the shoe edge. A\u00a0Xacto<\/strong>\u00a0knife may work, but getting a leather\u00a0cutting knife<\/strong>\u00a0may be helpful.

10. Now you can begin\u00a0stitching the sole<\/strong>\u00a0to the shoe. Use an\u00a0awl<\/strong>\u00a0(Amazon Link<\/a>) and follow the holes that are already in the shoe bottom edge or use a shoe stitching machine.

11.\u00a0Use sandpaper<\/strong>\u00a0or a sander if needed, to ensure that the layers where the sole meets the shoe are even and smooth.

12. Use\u00a0nails<\/strong>\u00a0(Amazon Link<\/a>) to\u00a0reattach the shoe heel<\/strong>\u00a0to the shoe. Line up the edges on all sides before\u00a0hammering<\/strong>.

13. Use\u00a0glue<\/strong>\u00a0to reattach the heel sole. Work slowly to ensure the rubber lines up with the edge on each side evenly.

14. Wipe up any excess glue.

Repair a Rip in Leather Shoes<\/strong>

1. You\u2019ll want to get a\u00a0leather repair kit<\/strong>\u00a0(Amazon Link<\/a>) to repair a tear in your leather shoes.

2. If you don\u2019t have a kit, you can try closing the tear with clear or\u00a0clear drying glue<\/strong>, like Super Glue.

3. Place a piece of\u00a0thin fabric<\/strong>\u00a0on the inside of the hole and glue in place or stuff newspaper firmly inside to hold in place.

4.\u00a0Glue<\/strong>\u00a0the leather edges and the inside area of leather that will lay on the fabric. Use a\u00a0thin tool<\/strong>, such as a putty knife or plastic knife to carefully place the leather down and get the seems to press together.

5.\u00a0Wait<\/strong>\u00a0until it is dry and remove the newspaper. The leather should lay flat and hopefully stay closed.

Shoe Repair \u2013 Love It or Leave It<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Making your own shoe repairs will save money and help you keep the shoes you love. But it\u2019s not for everyone. Determine if you\u2019re OK with spending the time, energy, money, and emotions on doing the shoe repair before you begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even small repairs can leave you frustrated and wondering why you started to try the repair in the first place. To ensure the best results, be prepared with everything you need for success. Ensure you have all the tools and materials that will make the repair process go smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why professionals make it look so easy. They have all the right tools and have had lots of practice. So if you\u2019re ready for a bit of a challenge, then shoe repair is the thing for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you should repair your shoes is up to you, but the following reasons may help you make a choice about what you should do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love It<\/td>Leave It<\/td><\/tr>
1. I feel frustrated quickly and need things to be done right away.
2. I am not willing to spend money on tools that might make the repairs easier.
3. I\u2019ll just use whatever is available, even if it may not be correct.
4. I just want to have shoes to wear, but don\u2019t want to take the time to take care of them.<\/td>		1. I feel frustrated quickly and need things to be done right away.

If you love your shoes, it might be a good idea to invest the time and energy into repairing them yourself or going to a cobbler for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel indifferent about your shoes, you\u2019ll likely not enjoy the process of shoe repair or the money and time needed to hire a cobbler to fix your shoes for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide how important your shoes are by imagining yourself going through the entire process, with both successes and failures, and then you will come closer to knowing if you\u2019re ready to invest your time, energy, and money into shoe repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
