One if my favorite shoes in my collection is showing signs of cracking. I cant seem to find another pair in my size at all, so I was wondering if theres anything I can do to get these fixed, whether it be temporary or permanent.

I tried a bit of sandpaper which helps soften the edges a bit. But other than breaking in. Is there other tricks?

Air force 1 Hi, too much liquor on party and i puked out on them, how do i clean them? Will be water + soap on brush enough? Also the stains are dry so what do i do?💀 They was in washing machine but there are still stains

Hi there! So, I've had these Paraboots for several years now, they've seen lots of wear but I also care for them pretty well as they were bought as a 'long time wear' purchase.

Recently noticed what looks like cracking in the leather on the right shoe only, and only in one area just on the left side ball of my foot.

These things are always in shoe trees when not being worn and I do wash with saddle soap and condition fairly regularly. Just wondering if there's something I'm missing that could prevent this from getting worse?

Thanks in advance!

I know this might be dumb but is there any way these are repairable? Not too perfection just enough to be able to use them again.

Had the shoe for less than a month. Is this something I should be concerned and take to a cobbler, or just apply bick 4 and brush at home?

I have a pair of boots that I want to put a leather shank in. Does anyone know cobbles either in LA SF or ship in that can do it or anyone have any points to convince me otherwise?

So I'm not really sure if this post is for the right place but I'll ask anyway. I'm making some boots and the leather i bought was thin like for the lining. Should I buy a thicker leather to pair with this and if so, could I use this out the outer layer instead of the lining?

Can the toe box on these be made tightened? Just a tad loose, I tried a ball of foot pad but still doesn't feel snug enough.

Good evening, I’ve seen these shoes (very familiar with the brand) but clearly have some scuffs at the front that have taken off the finishing layer. What would be your preferred repair method for this?

My 13 year old son is autistic and also has very differently shaped feet (extra/extra wide, high arch, high bottom to top of foot). So he is frequently very uncomfortable wearing shoes because they don't fit right and because he is extra sensitive. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to find or build sneakers that may fit him?

Would I be also be able to sabe the logo at the bottom

the leather on my timberland’s upper has been cracking recently, i’ve had no problems with this in the few years that i’ve had them.

(not wanting docs)

I have a swelling disease and whilst i fit into blundstones i find them a touch too tight around the calves area. They do have the stretchy sides but its still a touch too tight.

I love the style of the womens blundstone boots/workman looking boots do you have any recs for ones that have a larger leg/foot opening? Or any ideas as to how i can make them wider in that way.

I've got a pair of Red Wing 875 kickers that are just about ready for a new wedge. I'd like to add a leather mid and replace the wedge with a black Christy. I've watched hundreds of hours of boot recrafts, so I'm clearly an expert. ;)

I jest, but I have successfully installed Triumph taps on two pair of leather soles. I understand that in addition to the midsole and outsole, I'll need thread, some kind of needle, an awl to pilot holes, cork filler, contact cement and a ton of time and patience. Am I missing anything? Should I reconsider?

Ignore the background, hands, dirt on shoe, no busting my balls abt the style of shoe!!!i've been roasted on here enough, i came for advice </3

love these shoes, haven't worn in a while since i noticed the sole lifting. used to wear big platforms and idk if i could fix tese in the same way i'd secure them before??

i have finishing screws+a drill, i'll get glue if i need to. i mean to get them properly fixed, however i do need them for a night, and i do not have time to wait for glue to dry. could i potentially use finishing screws, and leave room for glue/extra screws to keep it together?? or am i going a bit crazy w the screws. pls help thx 🙏

(also no one have a go at me abt just going to a cobbler and getting them fixed properly, i know, i know.)

Does anyone know what to use to be able to get the reflective part back on the b22?

If there is nothing to make it reflective again is there anything I can do to try remove the reflective altogether? Because it makes the shoe look like it has dirt all over it whenever light reflects of it.

My pair is x10 worse than the pair pictured below, I used a picture from I found online as I'm not home and wanted to make the post now.
