i have these huge shoes, pretty much boots, but the heel is separating from the rest of the shoe. how do i fix this? sorry for such a stupid question
I don't know how to fix it yourself, but if you take it to a cobbler (the person, not the food, mind you) then s/he should be able to fix it for like $20, if the seperation isn't that bad, and if you live in the land of cheap shoe repair.
Hmmm I would probably super glue it,myself. That is,if the heel is still attached to the shoe somehow...if it's completely torn off,then I doubt any type of glue would work. If the heel is wooden...maybe a nail would work? lol sorry,I'm not experienced with shoe repair....except duct taping holes in my chuck taylors a few years back...it's so hard to throw away beloved shoes
Epoxy! haha no kiddin(mind you, it would work). I'd just bring em to a cobbler, its cheaper than buying a new pair! Or maybe its just my need to hold onto old things speaking. Anyhow. Peace!
don't do it yourself, you can get it done reasonably at a cobbler (as it's been said) so it's worth doing that. I've had loads of boots re-heeled/soled and they've always done a good job and kept my beloved boots alive.
You can go to any hardware store and get liquid nails it is a brand name product and apply it to the heel. then clamp it together. if that is too much for you. pull the lining/insole up from inside your boot and run deck screws in there with your drillI would use 3 of them for this project or do both liquid nail it na d then run screws into the heel from inside the boot but under the insole. so your heal won't be resting on metal and if you just liquid nail and screw you casn take the screws out. I did this with a pair of my sandals except I screwed them to a 2x6 for a day
Rainbowcat>>>the only stupid question there is,is the one not asked. Weepingoak touched on the way to fix them.Use construction glue and then lift up the inner sole and screw the shoe to the heel. I have done this on numerous occassions to get a little extra mileage out of a pair of shoes. Good luck on saving your boots.
