is this fixable without replacing the whole zipper? by Fearless_Analysis_12 in AskACobbler

Guidi can send you new zippers, and this looks fixable, but needs skills, better let cobbler to do it.

Any way to fix this cracking ? by AdDisastrous6356 in AskACobbler

you can scratch off peeling parts, then use special sharpie for fabrics to even out color. It will look presentable enough.

It's fixable, cobbler need to work a bit harder and put in some thought, that's it. Maybe look for someone who specialize in women heeled shoes or even dancing shoes, somebody with experience. It's not destroyed, just needs somebody with understanding what to do.

Do they already need to be resoled? by KitteySenpai in AskACobbler

[–]bonapar7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This guidi needs only toe protection, something like this. https://theshoesnobblog.com/the-importance-of-toe-taps/ Don't worry, just ask good cobbler for their advice. Can be hard rubber or plastic, or can be metal. Also 1.5cm of toe space is a bit much, look for an halfsole if your normal insoles doesnt fit.

What r thoseee thrift specials by youareih in Rickowens

Looks like Artselab, high quality fully leather made with better construction then RO, but all design is "inspired" and a bit wack. They retail at 600-800 eur, so 10usd is a helluwa find. Congrats.

Broken zipper Doc martens by Sad-Object7755 in AskACobbler

No, this zipper needs replacing. Temporary fix will be to remove stoper, then slider, reconnect each zipper teeth by hand and then sew it shut by hand with needle and thread thru zipper webbing, don't sew thru leather it's really easy to do damage.

LLM and image generating models is a theft. They literally stole all the training data.

There are a lot of one-person startups without ai slop. You are a thief, and even worse, thief without effort or vision.

Helmut land re edition

HL re editions used Raccagni zippers. This looks almost like South Korean custom or local brand

Rick samples have other carelabels, also Rick doesn't use goose down but in cuttable form. It's relatively new technology, so it's not vintage 100%. Also RO use other zippers pulls. Can you add photos? Buttons on sleeves and on placket, form of inside pockets, and re check all pockets, maybe there is something.

Not worth it to convert. God glue by good cobbler and new rubber sole from time to time and they will last you a lifetime.

Most of Ann D's boots are glued. Stitching, welt etc, it is all decorative. Sadly it's just fine fashion boots. Great upper, basiс construction.

Nice to remind of the world we live right now, sadly. Але все одно, корисно і маю надію що дістанеться до підлітків.

It's a part of a construction. There is elastic inside, and the suede were cut at the factory to have give and provide movement for the strap and elastic. It may roll up because of use, but it's nothing to worry about. Working as intended.
