Shoe repair - Glue, repair patches etc.

Here you'll find products used to repair your shoes. Including glue and repair pastes specially developed for leather and rubber, as well as specially designed shoe repair patches in both textile and leather. Repair holes and cracks in the leather, fix soles that have come loose, repair rubber galosching on curling boots, and more.

Also various types of paint to cover up marks and damage. All to make your shoes whole and beautiful again, so you can keep using your favourites instead of having to throw them away. Good for the environment, good for your wallet.

If you have bigger problems, we recommend taking your shoes to a good cobbler. However, you can often fix minor things on your own, and having a good glue at home to quickly repair minor damage, for example, is excellent. That way, you avoid the risk of the damage being bigger and costing more to repair, or in the worst case even become so big that the shoes have to be disposed.

Re-dyeing shoes that have lost all or part of their colour is perfectly possible in most cases, and this applies to all types of material, from plain leather and suede to rubber and textiles. New paint can really lift your old worn-out shoes and make them look so much better. 

How can I repair marks and dents in leather?

This requires a special repair paste that adheres to the leather. We offer Saphir Renovating Cream which is specifically formulated to cover marks and tears in leather. It's resin-based and thick in consistency, which fills in well and is easy to work with. Works on shoes, handbags and furnitures. Does not come off when dry. To get just the right shade for your shoes, you can mix different colours of Renovating Cream.

What do you glue shoes with?

Most parts of shoes will move more or less during use, which means that regular super glues or similar do not work, as they certainly stick well, but then crack due to the movement. For gluing shoes we have the superb adhesive Atomlim yellow which can be stretched, for both leather and rubber, and therefore can fix most minor problems that arise on a pair of shoes. For example, if a sole has come loose a bit or similar. For larger repairs, we recommend taking your shoes to a shoemaker.

How do I fix holes in my shoes?

We have self-adhesive patches for both textile and leather shoes. These can be used to easily repair holes in the upper of the shoe, or if the lining of the back cap has worn down. The patches are available in different sizes and colours.

How can I fix colour that has come off my shoes?

The easiest and most convenient solution if your leather shoes have lost a lot of colour, and just using coloured shoe cream isn't enough, is Saphir Juvacuir recolouring cream, which is a colour cream that covers properly. It is applied in thin layers to the area where the colour has faded, and the shade can be evened out with coloured shoe cream afterwards.

How can I repair Bally curling boots?

The most common damages that occur to curling boots can be repaired yourself. After some time of use, it's common for the rubber galoshing on curling boots to break, there can be gaps between the outsole and the galoshing, and stuff like that. We have a kit that contains everything you need to repair them yourself. With the repair kit, you can fix most minor problems on your own, but for major damage and repair jobs, we recommend taking your shoes to a cobbler.

Can I re-heel shoes myself?

If the heel is worn down and needs to be replaced, it's recommended to go to a cobbler. If it's only the top piece that has come off, for example on high heeled women's shoes, you may glue it in place again using a good cement, like Atomlim.
