No woman is immune from the fact that at the most inopportune moment a shoe may tear or a heel may break. Don't worry, I have a couple of tips that will help you get to your destination barefoot.
We use super glue
Do you like heels? Then I’ll give you a little hint, always carry a tube of super glue with you just in case. If you realize that your heel has come off, then with the help of glue you can easily fix it and calmly walk home, work or store in damaged shoes. There is a possibility that, even while on the street, you can glue the heel so that you can wear your favorite shoes for a very long time.
How to do this?
- Take off your shoes.
- First, wipe the torn part free of contaminants: dust, dirt and water.
- Then apply super glue to the edges and carefully press the edge of the torn heel onto the shoe.
- You have to wait a bit for the glue to set.
- When you realize that the glue has dried, you can put it on.
Important! Be careful, even when the glue has completely dried, try to lean on your toe and not your heel, so as not to create additional stress.
Tear off the second heel
Probably, many people remember the commercial of the 90s about the chewing dragee “Mentos”. It was this advertisement that showed many girls that you shouldn’t despair if your heel comes off, you can tear off the second one and walk calmly. Having got rid of the problem, we got quite comfortable ballet flats, well, at least you can walk home or the nearest shoe store in them.
The main thing is not to overdo it and not tear off the heel along with the sole.
To get rid of the second one, you can use the help of the stronger sex or try to do it yourself. If they are held on by glue, then you need to warm up the joint a little, so it will come off easier.
Attached with nails or screws and you can't get it off? Try to pick up the base with something hard and carefully remove the heel from the nails. If there is nothing solid at hand, look around, a ladder, a bench, a railing, in general, anything that can catch the edge of the sole will help you.
Find a quick repair shop
Nowadays there are workshops at almost every step. Try to find out where the nearest one is. If you are located near a workshop you know, it is, of course, better to go there.
Carefully, slowly get there, try not to twist your ankle. When you contact a repair shop, you will have to wait a while, but unlike other DIY repair methods, you won’t have to throw out your favorite shoes. If you don't know where the nearest workshop is, ask passers-by or look for information on the Internet.
It is better to find an express workshop where shoes are repaired immediately and quickly.This, of course, will not guarantee that the shoes will be repaired efficiently and will last for many more years, but you will spend much less time waiting. The workshop services are also guaranteed, so you don’t have to worry about wasting your money.
If there are any studs left, drive them in and put the heel back on.
A heel that is held on by nails can be driven back, but this will not help for long. Remove the shoe, look at where it was attached to the sole, insert the nails into the same recesses in which they were located. Take the shoe and tap the heel on any hard surface until it clicks into place.
In any case, you will have to use additional glue. Not a very effective repair method, but it will still help you get home more comfortably and evaluate what to do next with your broken heel. If home is far away, go to the store for glue or new shoes.
To avoid problems, periodically check your shoes for wear before heading out. Shoes periodically require maintenance. If you see that the heel is loose, do not risk going out in such shoes far from home.
