Default Broken Straps
Hello. Ok I was wearing my red 6" plats the other night when the sole came loose from the platform and the strap that was attached underneath it broke of. Is there any easy way to fix this like somekind of special glue I can get or something? This also happen with another pair of my plats only all the straps broke loose.

Default Re: Broken Straps
Get some evostik or bostik from your local DIY store. Apply a thin coat to each surface and allow it to dry completely. Then apply another thin coat and wait for that to dry too. Next heat the two surfaces up with a hair dryer or by holding them (with oven gloves on) under an electric grill for a few minutes. Don't let them scorch though! Press the two surfaces together and this should hold forever.

This actually is the same as the way the shoe's made.
