SCHUHMACHERKUNST: Bei meinen Pike Brothers Trapper Boots ist nach rund einem Jahr die geliebte Specksohle runter. Nicht nur vorne, sondern auch in der Unterstruktur. Der Schuster meines Vertrauens -Schuhmacherei Lenz in der Münchner Straße- hätte das neu machen können, das hätte aber fast das Gleiche wie ein neues Paar gekostet. Und wieder nicht soo lange gehalten. Er hat mir alternativ Red Wing Sohlen empfohlen und so hat er das dann auch gemacht. Zusätzlich noch eine weitere Leder Untersohle verbaut. Was soll ich sagen: das ist absolut toll geworden! Und die neuen Sohlen sind genauso angenehm zu tragen, wie die Specksohlen; halten nur viel länger :-) Meine absolute Empfehlung! Jetzt habe ich einzigartige Pike Wings. Oder sind es Red Brothers? 🤣❤️

TIL: Don't use Araldite to repair skates. It's not flexible enough and makes the problem worse when it breaks. Sigh. ☹️

Can anyone recommend better glue that can take the compression and strain?

#Maine: #Cobblers and #RepairShops see shift in consumer habits to fix what's broken

Story by Caroline LeCour, March 22, 2025

"While modern consumer habits may drive a lot of people to simply replace things that have fallen into disrepair, there are many in Maine who are instead choosing to fix items that are broken.

"Steven Foss, owner of Maine Shoe Repair in #SouthPortlandME, said he has noticed a change in quality of materials of shoes over the past 38 years he's been in business.

"'Back in the day, all of the shoes were sewn on. Glued and sewn on. Now, the majority of them are just glued,' Foss said.

"He said the change in manufacturing highlights a shift in quality that has altered both his work and the shoe industry at large. Foss is one of only a few cobblers left in Maine, and he is committed offering affordable repair services, despite rising supply and equipment costs."

Would you fix your own shoes with this DIY shoe repair kit? 😝

Supposedly it is for when you wear away part of the rand with foot dragging, or poke a hole in the rubber on sharp rock.
