But little cracks can definitely expand. If there's no line extending from the ding, it's probably okay for now, but keep a watchful eye on it; they can develop.Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-75795087252314527612011-10-03T20:10:03.554-04:002011-10-03T20:10:03.554-04:00I always have my shoes resoled/rehealed so that th...I always have my shoes resoled/rehealed so that they last as long as possible. So, I'd say that I'm probably in the camp "Get it Fixed". The bonus is of having them fixed is that you'll pay between $10-20 rather than just under $100 and have a painful experience of parting with a large lump of cash. The windscreen can be ok for a long time. As for the noise I'd opt for a library etc...but that's probably not really an option since its possibly as noisy.antheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269725364477824869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-64827367891941041882011-10-01T12:54:29.963-04:002011-10-01T12:54:29.963-04:00I've gotten shoes that were second hand from m...I've gotten shoes that were second hand from my mother in law, and at least 20 years old, reheeled. So I'm on camp Get It Fixed. Frankly, the heel falling off is minor compared to damage to the uppers. <br /><br />My solution to the construction noise would probably be to work from home/the library/a cafe, but that's probably not the right answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-19759218187366453192011-10-01T07:57:38.121-04:002011-10-01T07:57:38.121-04:00If you love the shoes, and the tops are in good sh...If you love the shoes, and the tops are in good shape, find a shoe-repair place. There's probably someone around who can do it, but if not, I bet there are places you can find on the internet where you can mail the shoes in. Send both and have the heels replaced on both at the same time.<br /><br />The windscreen can go for quite a long time with a little round flaw in it. Let it be. <br /><br />The Bose headphones are awesome.Dame Eleanor Hullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512884104691200975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-34269101656448584592011-09-30T15:24:22.293-04:002011-09-30T15:24:22.293-04:00Here you go!

All you need is a big shoe sander for step three:<br /><br />http://www.ehow.com/video_4405386_heel-replacement-mens-shoes-part.html<br /><br />Hmm, on second thought, you might need someone to do that for you. If it costs like 10-20 bucks, I'd say go for it. There must be a shoe repair place somewhere around there, or maybe try asking around at the alterations places for a name. <br /><br />Or, just limp everywhere and save the money for those Bose noise-cancelling headphones I keep seeing advertised on planes. That's what I'd do.Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.com
