gluing it all back together

Lust List: Gucci, Balmain, Louboutin

I have a lot of shoes, like an absurd number that take up multiple shelves in my walk-in closet (though, sadly, none of the ones pictured above).  Does anyone really need four pairs of red patent leather anything?  Probably not.  My breakup retail therapy included purchasing some sky high wedges that make me 5'7 and some hooker-ish black heels that have grommets.  Yes, grommets.  The latter pair is clearly too bad-ass for me.  But, that's okay, I'll try to find an excuse to break them in.


Unfortunately, crazy high heels have been known to break.  I've hobbled around the cobblestones at work in quest of superglue, which works fine to get me through the day, but not much longer.  When my favorite pair of Steve Maddens had the heel completely separate from the sole, I turned to Google and discovered Shoe Goo.  Guys, have you heard of this stuff?  Repairs*, waterproofing, rubber, canvas-- It's like magic!

It's a shame you can't use Shoe Goo to glue relationships back together.  But if you could, I'm guessing it would cost way more than 3.99$.



* Obviously, not recommended for shoes that cost more than my rent.
