Can this part of a sole be repaired?
Wore my black work shoe today and felt as if something was stuck below to realize the sole is falling apart.
As you can see from the heel its barely worn with the upper part in pristine condition.

I suspect a fix may be expensive if it is possible but its so hard to get a nice shoe in my size locally.

I saw my father get a sole over the entire from part of his dress shoe. It was a good year sole. His was cracked but not missing actual sole like you.

If the shoe repair place in Trincity Mall still exists there would be a good place to start

[Chimera]

Them shoemakers in them small plazas or malls does handle it. I think there's a shoe repair person under the step by valpark Chinese restaurant.

Not sure if he still around.

Yup still there. Another good option for repairs.

[Dizzy28]

Weekend I'll try Valpark and or Trincity. Basically in the middle of both so shouldn't be to much hassle.

Until then guess its brown shoe only for the rest of the week.

This is a half-sole repair. I am seeing a Goodyear welt stitched sole, so you want that level of quality in your repair as well, not just glue that most places will give you. Shawn's Shoe and Leathercraft 792-2519. Near KFC/Pizza Hut in Valsayn, in the back branch road. Check on Google. Maybe $150. He will cut a leather half sole, stitch and finish it properly.

Let him check the soles on the pair because most likely the other has similar dry rot damage. You need to take care of leather by oiling it occasionally with mink oil or paraffin oil, castor oil, dubbin, beeswax or any commercial leather conditioning product, etc. Just like caring for your leather belt, strap or gloves. Use your fingers and work in the grease until the leather has a nice amount to get supple. Wipe off excess with a cloth and hang the leather to dry, after a day everything will be absorbed with no messy residue. Leather was living skin, not synthetic plastic. https://www.amazon.com/Saphir-Medaille-dOr-Guard-100ml/dp/B01DCHHA2S

Just go next ( or opposite ) to Besson Police Station in POS - the Drag Brothers go fix that in 5 mins flat .

They will deconstruct it and reconstruct it like new .

[Dizzy28]

Solid advice. Thanks. Tbh I don't condition any leather products I own.

My daily belt is a leather Levi which is 15 years old and only in its first 3 years when I had a vehicle with leather seats did that belt get any sort of love. I had leather cleaners and treatments for my car seats which I used on the belt. Despite that the belt going strong still though with no cracks, weak looking dry rot spots etc.

What a coincidence. I have a right-side of a 6 year old Saucony sneakers that has the grips falling out which was noticed just 2 days ago.

Will look into this as well as its currently in use.

[maj. tom]

Most shoes soles are PU polyurethane rubber material, even expensive ones, which will disintegrate over time due to hydrolysis, especially one that has not been worn a while and hence "dry-rot."

Dizzy28 I am saying to ask this Shawn shoe maker to put a leather sole and it will last a long, long time and take the licks of the road if you leather condition it. Your Florsheim chukka design is perfect for that repair. Most shoe repair places are not going to use leather or even stitch it as they sell rubber half soles normally as a repair. This guy will do the leather if you ask him because he is a leather crafter. I have had him do an full-sole repair with leather for a pair of boots and it had cost $350.

If you don't want this leather sole thing, well then any repair place can do a rubber sole with glue for you.



A Saucony sneakers is just a regular rubber and glue repair that can be done anywhere.
