I was told to use glue but was never able to find a glue that held. If you discover a fix.

In Germany, I'm sure there are many in the NW part of the country. In Berlin, though, I think this shop (close to where we stayed for a couple months) is more common. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.slingking.eu/mundknebel-masken-und-augenbinden/?p=1">https://www.slingking.eu/mundk.....inden/?p=1</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.slingking.eu/"></a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-old-faithful-blows#post-2009855 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 18:50:34 +0000 Cee 2009855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobbler or blacksmith ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-old-faithful-blows#post-2009850 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 18:40:35 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2009850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fingers crossed on the repair!&nbsp; &nbsp;If you can't find a regular shoe repair place that can handle it, look for someone that does saddle and equestrian tack repair.&nbsp; &nbsp;It seems like they would have the right kind of sewing tools for heavy leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-old-faithful-blows#post-2009844 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 18:27:00 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2009844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks for all the empathy and encouragement to find a cobbler. I've seen numerous shoe repair places here, suppose I should just get on the interwebs to see what kinds of reviews they have. In general, I think shoes are taken pretty seriously--they are well made, because people walk a lot! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Bella and Suntiger, good point about replacements. I remember what a big deal it was to have all the pairs I ordered when I got these. DS was about 5 then. They have lasted a long time, but much of that was spent in a closet in Florida.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-old-faithful-blows#post-2009835 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 18:08:48 +0000 Anonymous 2009835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Bella-try the cobbler, but prioritize a spare too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-old-faithful-blows#post-2009824 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 17:33:32 +0000 rachylou 2009824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear! Heartbreaking! A boot that fits through the leg is so hard to find, I hope it can be repaired! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-old-faithful-blows#post-2009818 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 16:27:13 +0000 JAileen 2009818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that is so sad when that happens. I hope it’s fixable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-old-faithful-blows#post-2009815 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 16:15:29 +0000 nemosmom 2009815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! Agree that a good cobbler should be helpful. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-old-faithful-blows#post-2009814 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 16:10:30 +0000 bella 2009814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I am sorry.&nbsp; I think a good cobbler should be able to repair them. That said, if I were you, I would start looking for a replacement pair&nbsp; in case this were to occur again. If they are such an important part of your style, I think you would not want to get caught without a replacement, and finding that replacement can take a long time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-old-faithful-blows#post-2009797 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 14:53:18 +0000 Angie 2009797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a shame. I am hopeful for a repair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-old-faithful-blows#post-2009774 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 12:39:37 +0000 Bijou 2009774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hoping they can be repaired. It is always sad to say goodbye to a well loved workhorse. For me, comfy shoes are always the hardest to part ways with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-old-faithful-blows#post-2009762 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 11:01:09 +0000 Jessikams 2009762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tragic!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-old-faithful-blows#post-2009753 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 09:37:54 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2009753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I've been thinking, through the recent challenge, about what clothes/outfits are really "me". Last night I was going through all the ways that my black boots are definitely in there, even though I don't wear much black. No real "lurking quirk", but I like the nicely defined ankle by a workboot maker. The buckle on the side is just enough decoration, but not distracting or silly. There are gores so they fit my calf at various diameters discretely, without announcing how big my leg is. And I've had them so long they are just part of me. But then this morning... see photo 3. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The sole is sewn on, not glued, so I hope they can be repaired. Any info or advice would be appreciated. <br /></div> </p>
