Q: These are pictures of one of my old winter boots. The zipper broke this year, and I wanted to know if there was a way I could make a new pair out of my old ones. The fabric has really gone through a lot since it's almost always snowing where I live. Also, the bottoms are worn out a little.
I was wondering if there was anything I could do to reuse these boots. Thanks!
A: Get some Barge All Purpose Cement and some outer rubber soles. (http://www.boot.com/bsoles.htm)
All you need to do is clean and sand the soles for your boots. Apply a layer of the cement to your soles and to the bottom of the new soles.
Once the cement has dried, carefully attach them. The cement is very strong, but because of that, you want to make sure that you don't misalign the sole when you are attaching it.
In terms of the zipper, There's a few options. First, you could see if a cobbler or luggage repair shop cold repair it. If that's not an option, I have some ideas. I'll get back to you in a few days. If you don't hear from me, send me an email.
