The Shoe soles often wear out before their uppers, and that’s when it hurts. After that, it becomes difficult to decide whether to wear them or throw them away. I’ve learned about how you can DIY your own shoe soles with a little bit of effort. I hope it will help you learn the steps you need to resole your shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many leather-soled and some rubber-soled shoes can be resoled. Resoling your shoe can be a simple and easy process. Here are a few basic steps that most shoe resoling requires:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Resoling is a cost-effective way to give your old shoes a new life. In this way, you will be able to use your perfect not-so-used uppers with the new soles. But, first, let\u2019s find go into more detail about how to resole your shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resoling is the process of removing your shoe’s outsole temporarily and getting a new sole, trimming away excess material, and adding the new sole to your shoe. You can do this to most of the shoes (we will discuss that later), and your shoes will look like new without paying the high price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resoling is done to save your footwear investment and prolong its life. It’s an easy, quick, and inexpensive method that you can do yourself to give your shoes a new life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes shoe soles will give you obvious signs, such as having holes or coming loose. These signs indicate that the soles are worn out, and you need to resole your shoes. Or sometimes your soles may seem fine, but they may have become thin and have lost their shock absorption and traction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In such situations, you need to resole your shoes immediately. You can do it either yourself or by a cobbler [you can read what can a cobbler fix<\/a>]. Because worn outsoles provide less traction, less shock absorption, and cause foot and joint problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you wear less shock-absorbent soles, the impact of walking is transferred to your knees, ankles, or sometimes even the hips, rather than being absorbed by the shoe. These impacts cause discomfort and pain in your joints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The tread on the sole of worn-out shoes also becomes smooth, which can cause slippage on wet, slippery, and uneven surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You cannot resole every shoe. Whether you can resole a shoe or not depends entirely on its design and construction. Some Low-quality shoes do not come with replacement soles, or if they do, they can be more expensive to replace the sole than the shoes themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can easily resole shoes made with Goodyear welts with visible stitching around the sole. If you got cheap shoes, there are higher chances of them being glued, so don’t expect much. Stitching on shoes that can be resoled includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you think about whether you can resole your shoes yourself or not. Well, the answer is yes, you can! And the process is quite simple. All you need is some basic tools. However, if you don’t have time or the tools, you can get your shoes resoled by a cobbler, but you’ll need to spend a little more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Firstly, you need to buy soles (half soles\/full soles) with heels from a shoemaker. Soles come in different sizes, so make sure you buy the one that is the same size as your shoes. The following steps describe how you can resole your shoes in detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’ve ever wondered if you can replace the soles on your yellowing cracked basketball shoes, here’s a great video that shows you how it’s done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
