Which glue is used to make wedges and heels plz tell me

[@sabineviksne7171]

Thank You a lot, here in Latvia we cant buy readymade insoles as you have so I will try to make them from cardboard, but I have a question- how can I form the cardboard by myself- do I have to wet it as well as you did it with leather? :)

I have a pair of gorgeous DG high heel mules. I took them to the best cobbler in Dallas to tighten one of the straps, but now the shank is “floppy” and they are unwearable. Did he forget to put the shank back in? Can I send them to you to have a look. I’ve even gone to the best cobbler in NYC and they won’t touch them. If you could repair them, I would be forever grateful…right now I have $2000 USD that can only be used as art in my closet.

What is that trimming tool called 🤔

[@meatminecraftlol]

safety beveller/skiver

[@NwachiMiriam]

Is it possible to use a bigger size of last to make a smaller sized shoe? Example, use size 40 to make size 39/39

[@ICANMAKESHOES]

Sadly no, the last is what determines the size of the shoe ⭐️

Hi there was just curious where you purchase your premade insole boards for 3” kitten heels?

[@Marie579]

Don’t these shanks require riveting?

[@ICANMAKESHOES]

Hi, you could add rivets for extra security, but its not necessary - this method is secure enough :)

[@Spicyanvil]

should you make your own if you want a custom toe shape?

[@ICANMAKESHOES]

You can always cut down the shanked insole into your desired shape. Feel free to send us an email at [e-mail] if you are stuck! ♥️

[@NwachiMiriam]

[@ICANMAKESHOES]

We sell this glue in tubes in our supply shop which can be purchased here: icanmakeshoes.com/collections/all-products/products/shoemaking-glue-solvent-based-125ml ⭐️ Or if you're looking for a big tub like I'm using in this video, we recommend Renia Colle De Cologne ✨
