Super Easy DIY Shoe Repair

I love these espadrilles/wedges! I've had them for about 6 years, they go with so many things and are very comfortable...

but they're finally falling apart!

Poor shoes! I know I could go out and replace them with another, similar pair but I just imposed a shopping ban for the next month and trust me, I've been shopping around for a while and haven't come across anything else I like as much. What's a girl to do? I could take them to the Shoe Hospital but it would take too long and I want to wear them now, plus they might not be worth the $30...it's true. How about repairing them myself? Ok. (Plus it's really easy!)

I just used regular white glue that dries clear (because that's what I had on hand,) in all the places the sole was coming off the shoe. I've used Shoe Goo in the past and it works really well, but I found it to be a bit messy, although, that's probably just me.

To hold it in place, I tried a clothes pin but this particular pair of shoes were to thick for it. But because it's a very soft sole, straight pins worked just fine.

Both shoes needed the repair. I wiped the excess glue off, let them dry a few hours and wore them...they held up great!

At least this will buy me sometime to continue the hunt for a new pair!
