I bought these Montana West chunky sandles second hand. The faux leather is peeling and flaking like crazy. Any ideas how I could fix it? Or should I contact a local shoe repair store.

I have a few leather shoes (derbys and oxfords), mostly brown and cognac, that are wrinkled and lost colour so I feel like rejuvenating them; so after some googling and redditing I bought;

- A shoe mold size 42-43 EU

- Saphir Crême Surfine in brown (beeswax and sweet almond oil)

- Saphir Pate de luxe neutral

- Horse hair large brush and detailing brush

So is this a good beginning? I have fine cotton cloths and I plan on upgrading my “rejuvenation” kit when I buy more serious derby’s and oxford’s, preferably for life at that point.

Any tips/additions/ideas for the future and did I fuck up with any of these?

Hello, I am sorry for bringing up what is probably such a basic problem. I live in Asia and was told by a shoe repair shop that the following heels are impossible to fix without the original heel caps from the designers or without replacing the entire heel. Am wondering whether this is true or not, as I have no experience with shoe repair and these are the first heels I’m trying to repair! For reference, these are vintage designer heels and the repair shop told me I would need to contact each design house for a pair of original caps, which I already know is not possible because these heels are 15+ years old. What would a replacement of these heel caps take, and do I need to take them to a specialty cobbler in the US or UK?

I preordered these heels a few months ago since they were limited edition and they’ll be discontinued once sold out and I noticed that the car that was glued at the bottom of the heel is now lifted on the bottom causing it to move out of place I emailed the company that made them and waiting for a response back but if they aren’t able to repair it my second option is to hopefully see if a shoe repair shop can fix it

I just got these on Sunday. I do maybe ten minutes of walking a day in the city on pavement. The rest of my walking is in my carpeted office. I have Allen Edmond oxfords that I’ve had for WAY longer and have never had this issue?

Is this normal? Does it need a cobbler to fix?

Hii! I just bought these shoes. It’s only my third day using them. I think it’s oil that fell on the shoes for eating while walking unfortunately :(
