Alright, those of my college friends might remember a pair of pink and brown boots that I love! I tried to find a picture of me in them, but I think they are all on my external hard drive. Anyway. Unfortunately, the very bottom of the heel sole fell off one of them at least 2 or 3 years ago. In fact, I can't even remember the last time I wore them! I've been diligently moving them around with me since, surprisingly keeping track of said fallen-off-sole-piece.
Well, my friends, today is the day I finally fixed them! Last Sunday I wanted to wear them to church and remembered I had some double sided sticky wall tape in a drawer. It worked! but only for about 3 hours.
Here are the remnants of that sad afternoon,
Someone suggested that I just nail the sole back in. The combination of new jeans that are a bit long and not wanting to wear wedges gave me just the motivation to get out my hardware and give it a try!
It was pretty simple. The fallen off sole was pretty rubbery, so it took some intense boot between the legs stabilization to get through that layer, but then it was super easy! It probably took all of 2 minutes.
Voila! We have wearable boots!! My only regret is that I didn't get myself together to fix this before I got married so I could have worn them under my dress. Though, I'm sure my mom is pretty happy about that :)
