I searched the entire site to find the right thread to ask my question in, not seeing it I made my own; Moderators feel free to move this thread to wherever it need go, and my apologies if there is something like it already out there!
I have a pair of Vintage Wing-tips my grandfather gave me that he wore back in high-school. I planned to wear them to a 4th of July celebration tonight but when I put them on the sides "blew out" - that is, the top separated from the sole!
I don't want to use Super Glue or anything that might damage them further in the long range, but I don't know of any affordable cobblers around here either... I thought I'd drop into a thrift store to look for a spare pair, at least to wear to the event... but they're all closed today!
Any suggestions on inexpensive repairs to wing-tips? I'm already trying to figure out alternate footwear, so this could be long-term solutions as well, but if you know something that will work today then great!
Thank you for your help!
