    Tysm! I went thrifting and found some heels only to come home and find that the heel tips crumble just after one touch. So glad I can actually replace them 🥰

    Absolutely cannot believe you are doing (essentially) DIY with those massive nails! Super impressive. Absolute queen shiz.

    You’re a lifesaver ! My favorite vintage miu miu heels have just began to wear out on the soles and this is so helpful💞

    Do you have any ideas for repairing the actual material around the heel of say, those boots that you repaired at the end of your video?

    I bought the cutest vintage Mary Jane ❤pumps. Looked to be brand new but old stock. Put them on and the sole just crumbled. The local boot repair man said he can't help. Now I need to find the leather and glue.

    I am trying to fix the heel replacement on a Frye boots. It has 4 prongs and I can't find the same heel. Any suggestions?

      I would ask a local cobbler if they can order a pair for you. They have access to special catalogs that regular people don’t.

    Can Soles partially be replaced if sole is vinyl ?

    • @ExaLectric
      @ExaLectric  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes they should be, I haven’t done it personally however. I’ve brought ones to my cobbler to resole that had the grippy vinyl on them.

    Ma'am, it would be very much worth it for you to purchase very sharp detail scissors for the trimming stage of the sole repair. The little pink handled craft scissors the Dollar Tree sells have a pretty impressive lifespan under usage rougher than this, I've found. As the self-appointed Queen of Tools For EVERY Occasion I feel that I am coming from a place of experience when I say that the jaggedness of the finished product would not be an issue whatsoever with the Right Tool. It all boils down to sharpness and ease of control of the tool in this situation. I thought I might have seen the white and red Betty Crocker kitchen scissors in the clamping scene, and if so I have to share that I have terrible luck with keeping scissors sharp and I was raised by a mother who would dole out punishment so severe to anyone who used her big orange handled sewing Fiskers for anything -especially non material items, so it's inbred how to appropriately treat scissors as tools. But no matter what I do they appear to have a shelf life and no amount of research on sharpening works for the ones in my possession. So I have a pretty extensive collection of those pink $1.25 scissors but I only have one beat up and battered broken tip red and white Betty Crocker kitchen scissors and they have been abused extensively but remain hands down THE sharpest scissors in my entire horde. I don't know if they have started making them cheaper like everything else today but I highly recommend picking those up and giving them a try for those out of the loop.
    But I will go all out and try everything short of my hair cutting scissors to find the right tool when doing repairs like this for resale. I know that even Buffalo Exchange would find fault with my work if I tried to sell shoes of any kind with a repair that even suggests DIY. A blade that runs or cuts like butter is all you'd need to take this from home repair to unnoticeable.
    Thank you for these invaluable tips!
