Corlas Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hola, I let here a little tutorial of a repair of a disaster caused for the best friend of the humans, the dog. Sorry for the translation. Lee, if you can change some words for better understanding, do it. First the pic of the disaster. One little trick: wet card (carton) and let dry on press. Take out the heel and separate middle sole and sole. Cut a band leather same colour, this band must be litle short than the realy measure.(Because later we stretch it a little). The begin and finish of the leather band, we decide according of line of shoe, in this case it is arround all the uncovered heel, but we can take advantage of the finish of heel, the begining of one strip, for conceal the union. Skive the leather band in all sides, and we can write a line for help us. Glue in band and middle sole Hold the band with one finger of one hand and with the oter hand we strech a little and put against the edge. (Because it the band is little short, in this way we get less creases). Share out the creases, more carefully on up side. We can use the tool you see in the pic, a sting, fingers... Hammering all, glue the middle sole and the sole. Put a new cushion. New insole... New heel... And... voilá. Health to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 That job used to be my favorite one. Loved working the leather with the thumbs into a dozen folds so that you did not get a crease at the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
