How to repair your shoes

How to repair your shoes

So your shoes are almost worn out and you don't have enough money to spare for new ones. Don't worry, you are not alone. In this instructable I will show you a way to extend the lifetime of your shoes.
If done correctly, your shoes will be more comfortable than ever.

Disclaimer:
THIS IS NOT FOR THE WEAK NOSED!!! Worn shoes are often smelly..
It is possible that you'll get hurt if you are not careful, as you will be using hot glue and maybe a crafting knife.
Please, if you see any spelling mistakes or have questions / ideas, don't be afraid to leave a post in the comments section.

PS.
Please don't blame me if something goes wrong and your shoes turn out to be uncomfortable.

A couple days ago I used E-6000 to fix mine, I had to put them on my porch with bricks for clamps while they cured. Now , that's definately not for the weak-nosed! Shoulda thought of hot glue.

I'd recommend contact cement instead of hot-glue. I've fixed and modified shoes professionally in the past.
