Birkenstock Shoe Repair. Easy fix

[@SN-sz7kw]

Excellent! Thank you. You just saved me 70 Euro + postage for a rebuild. We need so much more of this in our lives - takes me back to when my father fixed EVERYTHING. 💗💗💗

You're welcome!

This is great. I have to resole my son's Birks and I noticed the cork needs a similar repair. I will be using this method.

I used the wire brush and seems to have worked However, overtime, the suede lost most of the short hair. I went back to using brush with leather soap for the footbed... I prop it against a fan and run it all night long....

[@nf7604]

that was EXCELLENT!! I really liked the wire brushing of the footbed. Thank you!

[@mopanicable]

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for

[@magiear1578]

Soooo helpful!!! My puppy ate the sole of mine at the pad of the foot. the quote to fix it was $65!!!! Or a new sole for $125!!! I can buy a new pair almost for just about 3-4” to be fixed. Any suggestions on how to fix that part bc I am about positive that he ate thru that thin piece of material between the layer. Well at least it looks like it has a layer of leather in the sole.

For the sole I have used shoe goo

Thank you for clear and easy-to-follow directions. What kind of cork did you use and where did you get it?

[@Repairs-Man]

I got the cork from a pot holder.

[@jhlee8538]

which glue did you use to attach footbed to cork?

[@Repairs-Man]

Rubber contact cement

Thank you for this! Would you have an alternative to the Kelly’s Cork Renew? It is not available in Europe :( Could i use regular wood glue?

[@Repairs-Man]

No you can’t use regular wood glue. I’m not sure of an alternate glue. Go to a shoe store they might have something.

A nice DIY but I'll just buy a new pair of shoes.......
