Who hasn't seen their favorite pair of shoes become unusable due to a cracked sole? We hesitate between paying for an expensive repair at the cobbler's or resigning ourselves to throwing them away. However, few people know that it's possible to repair a damaged sole yourself with simple tools and an effective method. Follow these steps and bring your shoes back to life in just a few hours!
Why throw away when you can repair?
Before you think about replacing your shoes, ask yourself this question: why throw them away when there's a simple solution? Today, we tend to consume quickly and replace them as soon as something looks damaged. However, with a little cleverness and the right equipment, it's possible to extend the life of your shoes without breaking the bank.
What you need for a lasting repair
You don't need professional equipment to repair a broken sole! Here's what you need:
- An extra-strong glue (such as Super Strong 999 or a special shoe glue)
- A rubber sole (to reinforce the shoe)
- Sandpaper (to improve adhesion)
- A hair dryer (to optimize 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 any shoemaking experience.
