Air Jordan 1: Hi! If your Plantronics Voyager Edge microphone isn’t working properly

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 00:16:40 -0700

I’ve had my Air Jordan 1 for about a year, and recently the soles have started to separate from the shoe, especially near the toe area. I don’t wear them in the rain or wash them often. Is there a good way to reattach the soles without damaging the leather? What type of glue or repair method would work best?

Shoe: Melted the Soles of Adidas Shoes

Sat, 26 May 2018 21:49:06 -0700

So I decided to do one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done in my life. Since it has been raining a lot, I thought that there was no chance for my shoes to dry quickly as I usually put them under the sun. I thought it would stink up if I didn’t dry it quickly.

I had decided to stupidly toss my shoes into the dryer and decided I would check on it every few minutes. I put it on low heat, but I ended up falling asleep and waking up to my shoes stuck on one edge of the dryer.

I know it’s impossible, but if there’s any chance that this could be fixed, can I please have some tips?

Shoe: Inside fabric shoe repair

Sun, 22 Jan 2017 07:10:32 -0700

The fabric that flows from the inside part of the shoe to the outside is worn out on the tip top of the upper sole. Will I have to repair the whole inside piece of fabric, patch the hole, or is it a lost cause? If any needed explanation is called for, please let me know!

Shoe: How do you remove wrinkles/creases from leather shoes?

Tue, 22 Mar 2016 11:33:29 -0700

I am wondering what methods cobblers/repairers use to smooth out wrinkles on leather shoes, specifically near top cap. The one method I know is to use a shoe tree one size larger and either use a heat gun or hot spoon on the wrinkled area.

If anyone has any other knowledge, that would be appreciated.

Thanks,

James.
