DIY shoe repair

In detail: do-it-yourself shoe repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to repair cracked leather on a shoe near the sole.

I'll tell you the subtleties of the work. How to patch without being noticeable.

Thank you, it was very informative and understandable, I think that even I can cope with such a task, only I hear the name of such glue for the first time, and the rubber moment for shoes is not suitable for this purpose? And if it fits, then you need to glue it with a hair dryer or according to the instructions. A master class on heels made of polyurethane, as well as prophylaxis on the soles, would not hurt.

The glue will not hold the sole moment, it can only glue leather and rubber. "Moment" glue does not adhere synthetic materials.

Soon there will be a master class on heels and preventive measures, I will show and teach you how to do it!

Thank you for your answer, but you can suddenly add a photo of a bottle of glue wherever it comes across. And as for the selection of bread from the masters, so I think so, why pay someone money for something that you can do yourself. Moreover, there are such cases where you cannot contact workshop (for example, in the village), and thanks to your master class, you can repair yourself

The glue is called "Dismakol". It is sold in a shoe store for shoemakers. There are shops that sell shoe repair materials. Such shops should be in all cities. The bottle may not be there. For example, I buy on tap.

Thank you very much! We, women on heels, really need MK. Will wait. And this one, with your permission, I am dragging to my bins.

Or can you tell me how you can remove a cut on a leather jacket, otherwise we don't even have a sensible atelier?

Where is the cut? Take a picture and show, please.

Sorry to wedge myself into this conversation. My sister came to visit, and they cut her cloak on the bus, apparently they wanted to steal the money. So we racked our brains with her how to glue it so that it was not noticeable and came up with it, she wore it for a long time. First, we connected the incision and sealed it on top with ordinary transparent tape to fix this cut. Then, on the reverse side of the skin, at the place of the cut, they glued a pharmacy scotch tape on a rag basis, our Soviet one (it sticks tightly). Again, turn the skin on the face, remove the transparent tape, and grease the place between the two skin incisions with glue over the skin and press the sections together. When dry, you can walk a little with shoe polish in color, the cut is not visible. After that, I help to reanimate all leather clothes for myself, for children, and friends. Of course, experts do not do this, but as an option I really like this method. Once again, I'm sorry for getting in, but I think it might come in handy if I could explain it clearly.

Thanks, I will take note of your method :)

Well Shumaher, you just give out all the secrets of shoemaking) You literally take bread from the masters!

If everyone learns how to make shoes at home, then why are shoe repairmen needed?

I am not greedy! Whoever was lazy before will not do anything himself after my lessons!

You can take away the bread from a real master!

Cool, just super, thank you very much for the detailed MK, just the boots broke in the same way, you can't put it on, but it's a pity to throw it away

Hooray! My favorite, comfortable boots - to live !, probably

Now I want to try it myself, I won't carry it for repairs. Thanks to the master!

such an MK is affordable! Thanks!

just tell me what kind of glue you can use?

Many thanks for such an understandable (even to blondes, far from shoemaking) MK! Can you tell me how to paint the tattered plastic heels of the boots and shoes, it’s a pity to throw away expensive boots .. but I don’t want to wear the tattered ones either ..

You were just in time, Monday or Tuesday, I was going to release an MK on heel painting, so wait a bit!

Thank you very much, because this is a "sore subject" - how many excellent boots are sent to the trash just because of the peeled heels, and for some reason in the workshops they do not always undertake to paint .. I will look forward to it!

Thank you so much for such an understandable MK! You are a true master of your craft.

Thanks! Everything is very clear step by step, concise and intelligible! Without unnecessary unnecessary phrases, everything is just to the point. And the shot is very clear and you can see what and how.

Thank you. Excellent! And don't worry about the "bread" - I wanted to repair it myself, but now, having looked carefully, I realized that I could just ruin my boot, it’s better to the master, but we don’t have it. We'll have to ask someone to take them to the nearest settlement with a master, a knife and glue. Thanks for saving my boot!

Hello! There was such a problem: a perforated leather ballerina was torn at the sole. Can it somehow be repaired, or is it over? Mk on the Internet on patches for perforated shoes I can not find

If the sole of your shoes has burst, and the warranty period for the product has already expired, then it is most correct to refer the shoes to an experienced craftsman. In many cases, professional renovation allows you to extend her life from a month to a whole season, and sometimes even more. We already know how to get rid of the smell in shoes - folk remedies that are always at hand will help solve this problem. And how to repair shoes with your own hands with the help of available tools, we will now tell you.

To fix a cracked sole at home, you will still need to acquire the following materials and tools:

boot knife;
emery cloth;
degreasing agent;
quick-drying glue;
boot hook and thread.

Is express repair possible in this case? If the shoes being repaired are without a protector, with a flat sole, then they can be repaired with their own hands and put on the same day. This is done like this:

When sewing, more than one stitch should be sewn. This is necessary both in order to press the walls of the crack even more tightly, and so that the upper layers of the thread protect the former from possible damage in contact with a rough surface, for example, pebbles, glass, etc.

Done - the cracked sole has been removed and the shoes are ready to be worn.

If your shoe has a sole with a protector, then do-it-yourself express repair is impossible, because here you will have to put a sole on the sewn crack, which shoemakers call "prevention", and work with glue all over the sole. You will additionally need:

outsole material;
special shoe glue;
heating device - a powerful hair dryer or electric stove.

The algorithm of actions is almost the same as in the first method, but first you need to cut the tread from the broken sole to make it even and facilitate access to the crack.

After that, follow all the same steps from 1 to 5, except that when sewing a crack, in this case, one layer of stitching will be enough, since additional protection will be glued on top of it.

Important: Do-it-yourself shoe repair with construction glue or universal "Moment" is impossible - these funds are completely inelastic. Shoemakers recommend using Dismakol and Nairit adhesives. They may have other trade names, but their composition does not change, and this is what the shoe masters call them. The former is more suitable for rubber and polyurethane products, and the latter is more suitable for leather products.

Draw a pencil around the sole of the product to be repaired on the outsole and make a pattern. This material should be thick enough to compensate for the thickness of the tread you cut from the outsole.
Apply a suitable adhesive to the outsole and the degreased inner side of the outsole. Without gluing, withstand it for 15 minutes. Then apply a second coat and wait another 15-20 minutes.Then you need to activate the glue, heating it with a hair dryer or stove to 70-80 degrees.
While still hot, the outsole should be firmly pressed against the sole, preferably with a hard object.

That's it, DIY shoe repair is complete and the shoes are saved! But you can wear it only a day after the repair - then the glue will finally adhere and dry.

Not to say that I am a stingy man, but I am sorry to throw out the old thing and buy a new one, if the old one can still be worn out by fixing it a little. And with shoes, respectively, the same situation. My shoes wear out very quickly, the heels are mostly erased.

I scored at first, but no one sees inside. Then it became uncomfortable to wear.

It's a pity to throw it away, it looks like new (well, almost), but worn from the inside.

I decided to try to repair it myself, if I spoiled it, it would not be too bad.

- How to replace the worn fabric, I chose leatherette.

- Foam rubber (I also rubbed it to the base) It turns out 2 types, thin ((1-1.5 mm) is optional) for the spacer and thick 8-10mm for replacing the backdrop.

- Threads (preferably in the color of the product) with a needle.

- Scissors or a utility knife.

- Glue. I used glue for foam rubber, VB - 103, red, it costs about 250 rubles per liter, dries quickly enough, holds tight.

First, let's shred everything into pieces.

Foam rubber and a rag that has seen life.

We will prepare what, in fact, we will change them.

Cut out leatherette to size.

And foam rubber. I took a tighter, secondary, it seems called.

I glued thin foam rubber to leatherette, but this is not important, you can do without it. I also sewed threads on the sides, because they will not be covered.

We begin to sew the whole thing into place. Leatherette is less elastic than fabric, if you just start sewing in a circle, the joints will not converge (how else to call it?) Therefore, we will align the piece and attach it in several places with threads so that it does not go to distortion.

We are stitching. Sometimes it's hard, use a thimble or pliers as a last resort. If there was a sewing machine, it would be easier. But she's not there. My grandmother, her health, taught her how to use it. Probably wanted a granddaughter =)

We asked for it, we turn it out, we look at what a fucking fellow we are. But this is only half the battle.

We glue the foam rubber. First, you need to glue it with its end to the top of the backdrop and then lower it down and glue it. This will create a slight bevel and bulge to secure the heel. Something like that:

But this is also not necessary, you can simply glue it, the heel itself will take shape as you walk. But this is better.

Next, we glue the leatherette to the base, pulling it a little. Don't overdo it with glue.

And we sew where there were factory seams.

This is how it was and how it became. It took a whole evening for one sneaker and fingers worn out from the needle.

Thank you for your attention! I hope it will be useful to someone.

Especially for Pikabu and my followers, neighbor hater and aspiring Stasique renovator.

Despite the fact that there are many shoe repair shops, sometimes people prefer to do the repair themselves. This is due to the fact that the services of craftsmen are far from cheap, and even not always of high quality. Would you say it's easier to throw out your old shoes or boots? This is not true. Materials are inexpensive, and craftsmen who know how to repair shoes with their own hands can significantly extend their life.

Some people who are familiar with the basics of shoemaking make their own adhesive mix. For example, it perfectly glues acetone with nylon. Hand-made production of rubber glue is a complicated matter that requires significant temperatures, therefore it is easier to purchase a ready-made one.

Sometimes regular “Super Glue” is used to repair shoes at home. It is important that the shoes are absolutely clean and dry. The boot is glued, after preheating the composition with a construction hair dryer.And professional craftsmen do not like molecular glue, since it sets tightly, and it can be quite problematic to fix an accidental flaw.

Important! In workshops, professional solutions are used, such as “Nairit” or “Desmakol”. There are numerous formulation options with various additives. Professionals often use Rapid. However, it is unlikely to be suitable for home repairs, since it is sold exclusively in bulk.

In order to replace the heels on boots or shoes, use a special metal foot or some kind of fixation device.

Use heels with a pin-nail.
To make them sit stronger, the pin is lubricated with superglue.
If the diameter of the nail does not match the heel sleeve, the pin is slightly sharpened or expanded by hitting with a hammer.
After the heel is installed, it is grinded with a special stone or drill, exactly to the thickness of the heel.

This is a rather complicated procedure, and if you are not sure that you will follow it carefully, contact the wizard.

Installing a heel on a wide heel is much easier:

It can be attached to the “Super-glue” after heating it with a hair dryer.
If the heel is leather or wooden, use the "Nairit" composition, and it is applied to both surfaces. Then, after waiting a little, connect and fix both parts.

How carefully the shoe is glued depends on its appearance and how long it will last after repair. For all its seeming simplicity, it is difficult to properly glue the shoes in order to repair the sole. The workshop has special tools for this. However, in some cases, you can use the means at hand.

The parts are preheated and only then glued together. Already repaired shoes are kept in a warm room for 24 hours. Only in this case the sole will hold firmly enough.

You can also repair shoes with your own hands using “liquid leather”. This is useful if the upper is worn out or if you stumbled unsuccessfully.

If the skin is seriously torn, but first the product is glued from the inside with gauze or bandage. This is necessary so that the seam made with “liquid leather” does not come apart. The further procedure is as follows:

Shoes are washed, dried, cleaned of lint and scraps of leather.
The place of repair is degreased (any detergent will do).
The composition is selected according to the shade.

Important! Sometimes, in order to achieve the desired color, several multi-colored compositions are mixed. In this case, you can use a special table.

Apply “liquid skin” to the surface to be repaired using a paintbrush. If you press the surface with a piece of leather, you get a realistic relief.
In case of inaccurate application or color mismatch, the composition can be removed within half an hour. Then they wait until the surface is dry, and the composition is reapplied.

Old sneakers or sneakers! Someone takes shoes to the landfill immediately, while someone knows these wonderful secrets and enjoys the process of restoring worn pairs ...

How to fix your shoes if an ugly scuff or hole appears on the fabric backing? What if the sole turns yellow or has black streaks of unknown origin? How to properly wash your sneakers in the washing machine? Let's clarify!

Restoration is such a complicated word! But it denotes simple processes: to hem the shoes where necessary, to touch up, to make them perfectly clean. I do not see anything wrong with taking measures to save your favorite sneakers!

Frayed socks on sneakers or sneakers and even noticeable holes will help to mask a patch.
Be sure to wash and dry your shoes before repairing!
Before attaching the thermal patch, sew pieces of raincoat fabric on the worn places. This must be done from the outside so that after repair the shoes do not sting and there is no discomfort when walking.
Preheat the iron to maximum, but turn off the steam function.
Cut the thermal patch in half. Remove the protective film and attach the fabric to the shoe.
Iron the thermal patch until the wrinkles disappear. If any pieces of fabric are unnecessary, cut them off with nail scissors.

White outsole is extremely easy to get dirty! Citric acid will help to restore whiteness: rub the powder over the entire surface of the sole, leave for a while, then rinse thoroughly. Baking soda cleans and whitens the sole well.

One of my favorite methods - an old toothbrush and whitening toothpaste - will cope with even tough dirt! A regular pencil mark eraser can also help wipe stains off your shoes. So do not rush to send sneakers with yellowed soles to the landfill.

Can I machine wash my sneakers? Of course you can, but you need to follow a number of rules! Even very old shoes can be transformed by machine washing.

If your sneakers have reflectors, you cannot wash them in a typewriter - bright details will definitely come off. Before washing, be sure to remove the laces and insoles from the sneakers, so the shoes are washed much better.

Place shoes in a washing bag before loading them into the machine. Choose a delicate mode, the washing temperature should not exceed 30 degrees. I recommend turning off the spin mode: this can harm the washing machine, even if the sneakers calmly endure the procedure.

Never dry your sneakers in the washing machine! This will deform them. Before leaving your sneakers to dry naturally, fill them with white paper. Never with newspapers - newspaper paint can stain shoes. You can use food parchment for this purpose.

If your shoes smell bad, baking soda can help! Place an open plastic bag of baking soda inside your sneaker overnight. Soda will absorb any odors and moisture like magic!

Sometimes it is enough to simply replace the laces on the shoes to completely change the look. Colored laces bring even a worn pair to life!

Why not lace up your sneakers in a new way? Here are some cute ways to make your shoes look more original. Save it and use it with pleasure!

Hope these tips help you bring more than one pair of old shoes to life! Tell us what tricks you use for home shoe restoration, we will be very grateful.
