Resole Kumfs Wedge
Yes sure we can fix your soles ... thats all gone a bit rotten, we'll remove it all so you are right back to the leather, run a new edge around, build up the height with soft light material and then put a grippy harder wearing sole right thru on the bottom, with no joins so you wont get any splits ... now you've been into our store before ....
1 Record Height Heel and Sole
|
Eg H=30, S=10
Heel will be, rand 4+ 2 layers 10 eva plus 6 Soft = 30mm Sole will be Rand 4+ Soft 6=10mm |
2 Cut out new soling
|
Only need to cut out the next layer you need.
1 Full sole EVA if height needed 2 Full sole Soft 3 Heel wedge EVA as needed for height, use a 10mm first. 4 Heel rubber if needed |
3 Remove old sole+grind
|
Dig right around with wide flat screw driver, then pull off by hand or with pincers.
|
4 Glue Rand on
|
Yellow Glue - leather to resin rand.
Run rand clockwise, move around shoe as you do it. Join on "inside" near back. |
5 Glue EVA to the rand
|
Keep shape of shoe, don't allow the EVA to flatten the shoe out.
Yellow Glue. |
6 Grind EVA to wedge
|
Take almost none off at heel
Remove almost all at front of wedge Grind wedge flat so shoe sits flat. |
7 Repeat 5+6 to get height
|
While you are putting on blocks of EVA, you are then grinding them to wedge shapes as you build up layers.
|
8 Glue Sole on and Trim
|
Note the little extra layer at the heel. Needed a bit more to get the height right.
