I just bought a lovely pair of red 1930s shoes last night. The but problem is that one shoe has a tear in the leather on the side. I know this cannot be repaired to look like new, but I'd like to repair it and wear it anyway. Whatever suggestions?

How well-nigh a photograph of the impairment? Might have some suggestions when I see where the tear is located, how big, etc.

I don't have a digital camera, so let me describe the tear. It's where the fiddling toe hits, and information technology's almost i" long. It goes from the sole up to the top of the shoe. Information technology'southward a straight line.

It'south where the little toe hits.
I have a pair of suede shoes that were wearing thin in the same area. My cobbler glued a small patch made of thin leather on the corresponding spot inside of the shoe to hinder further damage. Worked like a amuse.

That'due south what I was thinking. I'll take it to the cobbler today. Thanks for the tip, Tomasso.

Exactly what I would take suggested - except I would have gone into a long-winded explanation of how to exercise to it, whereas taking the shoe to the cobbler is ever so much simpler.

Some of the vintage and antique store people are good with gluing. I do know at that place are some glues made specifically for leather to glue lifted sections back in place.

Clomp Cement is considered the best by many cobblers and leather workers. I've used it for many years and zilch glued with information technology has ever come apart.

I took the shoe to the cobbler and he asked if I thought if it was worth $10 to repair it. The leather had some slight bang-up in it; nothing that can't be hidden with shoe polish. Apparently he's not a lover of vintage shoes.

The forgotten shoemaker, long ago I shared a old shop with a shoemaker, or he was dutch so he called it shoemakker, and i would help him when i was ho-hum and he was crazy, finally I figured out the glue he was used for the soles was lethal stuff and with no ventalation. So for a while I had the experience of grind off quondam soles, running a mackay solestitcher, and polishing shoes, then I would say $10. is fine for fixing vintage shoes, in my youth, i was offered the following trades, television repair, watch and clock repair and shoe repair and sewing machine repair which is the merchandise that i chose. Enjoy your shoes. 59Lark.
