If you’re a leather shoe owner, chances are you’ve experienced a broken heel at some point. Whether it’s from accidentally catching your heel on something or simply from wear and tear, a broken heel can be frustrating. But don’t despair! There are ways to repair a broken heel so that your favorite leather shoes can last for years to come. Read on to find out how.
How to Repair a Broken Heel?
Materials needed for heel repair: super glue, sandpaper, nail file
Heel repair is a relatively straightforward task that can save you a great deal of money and inconvenience. To successfully complete the job, you’ll need to have access to a few basic materials: super glue, sandpaper and a nail file. Super glue binds the split together, while sandpaper helps eliminate any excess material that hasn’t been completely fused. Once the split has been mended, use the nail file for even and secure finishing touches. With all these supplies and some patience, your shoes will look good as new in no time!
Clean the broken heel area with sandpaper
Cleaning up a broken heel area doesn’t have to be a daunting task! All you need is some sandpaper, and you can quickly make the broken edges look like new again. It’s best to start by lightly sanding the uneven areas of the heel until they become flush with each other. From there, you can move on to more aggressive grits of sandpaper for a final polish for an even smoother finish. With this simple trick, keeping your shoes looking great won’t be as difficult as it may seem!
Apply super glue to the broken heel area
Repairing your favorite pair of shoes with super glue is an inexpensive and easy solution to the problem of a broken heel. In most cases, simply applying superglue to the affected area will result in a strong bond that will last a long time. Although it’s not always needed, adding a paper clip in the spot after applying glue provides extra strength.
Be sure to have your shoe on when you’re gluing it so you can make any necessary adjustments for a snug fit, and if multiple layers are needed for full coverage let each layer dry before adding another one. Finally, give it some time to fully set before wearing it again – follow these simple steps and you’ll be able to proudly wear your repair job all around town!
