Lady Shoe repair "KLEI"

             Lady shoe repair task

             This lady shoe with the bottom sole being defective. Most common problem found on most shoe repair is the separation of outer sole. Both the left and right shoe have the same issue of outer sole split wide open.

Based on my observation for some reason the outer sole have the glue " missing" or the adhesion surface on both the surface is lacking.

Hence the bondage between outer sole to the base is " disappear" and the result the sole just does not stick together.

This is a customize shoe have it outer sole separated, can see the felt material is also lifted off.

What most surprising is the shoe is hardly worn or stress out base on my observation.

For some reason this shoe is barely use or worn by user but have this defect appear so early.

After checking the inner sole and inner lining material it feel strange and later discovered the material use for lining inside gradually disintegrate when working on both shoe. 

Not sure why the material behave this way, base on observation and feedback this shoe was hardly worn. So not sure why the lining react this way.😂

  

Underside view of inner sole and notice the wrinkle toward the toe tip. It is not  even surface due to external transparent layer is lifted out. Not sure what is the reason for this surface.

The brand name imprint on inner sole as KLEI.

Notice the material use for this shoe is started to peel off. The clear transparent layer is separated with the black base. The black base where some it material is dropping off. Can see the broken black material is disintegrating, see the black spot on the cardboard surface.

Any way try to apply glue between them to see it work or not. The result is not very good as the glue have poor outcome.

Certain part of the felt material was lifted up is re attached with contact glue.

It best to ensure the glue is allow with sufficient time to cure before stick both piece together.

This the learning experience and and also trial an error over time.

If the glue is allow to cure it adhesion is better and your repair work is more satisfactory and enjoy the repair work.

As noted the old glue need to clean the outer sole surface, notice the old glue is best to remove and clean surface before apply glue.

This is to show what happen when try to lift off the inner

sole. The top layer disintegrate when touch it surface with bare hand.

Not sure why this material behave in this manner.

Allow glue to cure time before attached both layer together.

Try to do stitching for the toe side section . However because the inner lining and inner sole materials is very fragile just try out only to the toe to give strength .

Hence limited edge of the outer sole use the thread stitching because of this issue

This complete repair for this shoe.
