Who has never seen their favorite pair of shoes become unusable because of a split sole? We hesitate between paying an expensive repair at the shoemaker's office or resigning ourselves to throwing them away. Yet few people know that it is possible to repair a damaged sole with simple tools to find and an effective method. Follow these steps and breathe new life into your shoes in just a few hours.
Why throw away when we can fix it?
Before you think about replacing your shoes, ask yourself this question: why throw away when there is a simple solution? Today, there is a tendency to consume quickly and replace as soon as something seems damaged. Yet, with a little trick and good equipment, it is possible to extend the life of one’s shoes without breaking the bank.
What you need for sustainable repair
You don't need professional equipment to fix a broken sole. Here's what you need:
- Extra-strong glue (like the Super Strong 999 or a special glue shoes)
- A rubber sole (to strengthen the shoe)
- Sandpaper (to improve adhesion)
- A hairdryer (to optimise the adhesion of the glue)
- A cutter or a pair of scissors (to adjust the sole)
With these few elements, you will be able to carry out an effective and lasting repair, even without shoemaking experience.
