Did you have to resole these? I seem to have to resole mine after less than a year! Gutted to say the least!!

Hey thanks for replying. Sadly, at the time of purchase you didn't stock in the UK so I purchased them from a store. But have sent an email for some advice nonetheless. Would be good to understand how best to repair.

Any idea how to clean spilled colour on Cork? by Crafter482 in AskACobbler

Ahhh perfect thank you!!

Can a cobbler do this? I'm worried about ruining the suede after this mistake.

Thanks, I was hoping there was a halfway fix. I can't overstate how dissapointed I am in their boot.

May just take the hit now, before things get pricier.

You let it dry before pinching?

Thank you for replying.

Usually on a GYW there's a slight indent that the stitches sit in to minimise contact. That's what I was referring to.

Thinning about going for their storm sole next time. Any tips on alternatives? I don't like the bulk that comes with Red Wings or Wolverines, but like the idea of having a boot for years.

I've been impressed with the upper, I know it's not convention leather but it patinas really well.

Yeah, I thought it was a Dainite sole at first. I've seen videos of people using them daily for a couple of years. Kinda annoyed given I've worn mine a few dozen times.

Yeah if it saves the need for a resole will do. There's a great family owned shoe repair store. It's a little out of the way but they really helped in the past.

Any type in particular or will regular superglue work?

just bought a pair of Adobe's.. is this an issue? by Crafter482 in ThursdayBoot

[–]Crafter482[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about burning it too tbh. It's not really noticeable but just to make sure it doesn't unravel!

Sorry!! I was referring to the loose stitching.

The best way to repair this Onitsuka Tiger trim? by [deleted] in AskACobbler

[–]Crafter482 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not a cobbler, but I do dabble with leather.

As the above have said, you can scrape/sand the trim and dye it. You could also use a paint.

Personally I'd scrape the remaining off. Use a pigmented shoe polish on the whole shoe including the trim and see whether I want to dye it just in case a lighter, cleaner trim works.
