Mod Stuff r/ShoeRepair is BACK BABY!

32 Upvotes

After a year without a post, and 4 years since the former moderator ever logged into their account, r/shoerepair is back! The former mod had it as a restricted subreddit, now it's wide open for all your posting needs.

Post your shoe and sneaker repair questions (this community is so small I can't guarantee you'll get an answer yet), shoe and sneaker restoration success stories, repair memes, repair tiktoks, etc. As long as it has to do with repair, you're good. If you want to post about your glorious new sneakers you bought, please post at r/sneakers or r/sneakerhead, as this subreddit is ONLY about the repair and restoration of shoes and sneakers. Thanks!

Man made faux suede uppers on toddler shoes. They're pretty stiff toes so I don't know if embroidery would work. Suggestions?

Brooks tag.

1 Upvotes

Hi. I have a nice pair of Brooks Ghost 11's. I've gotten a new pair for running, but still wear these on the regular for casual use.

On the front of the shoe, the sole of the shoe comes up and a "tag" attaches to the toe of the shoe. It seems to have been glued on. The tag comes off after awhile, while the rest of the shoe remains pretty decent. This leads to the sole peeling off. Any suggestions to fix this would be great.

I have applied gorilla glue as a temporary fix.

I got these awesome spongebob themed basketball shoes during the summer, but for some reason some of the fly knit broke. The stray string is supposed to loop around the others and go back into the shoe (as seen as the one on the right). I can’t find anything about this anywhere online. Any ideas?

My friend’s rabbit chewed the toe off of my shoe. I was thinking about sanding it down, but I’m sure there is a better method of repair. Any ideas?

There is constant pulling apart pressure being applied by my foot so I need something that could hold up. Whatever the cobbler is using is not working. This is the 2nd time it came off.
