Shoes are a basic clothing piece that we wear every day. After wearing shoes for a while, it may break. This means that the stitches that keep the various parts of the shoe together leave a gaping space. This makes your shoes unwearable and non-functional. Instead of throwing away your shoe to buy a new one, you can sew it yourself. You can do it by hand if you have the right tools and skills.

You will need an awl as your needle and strong wax thread to fix your leather shoes when they gape. Push in your awl into the shoe a few inches before the hole in the shoe. Your first stitch leaves a long thread inside your shoe. Make your next stitch from inside your shoe with the awl, leave a loop through which you pass your thread. Pull tightly to close the stitch and repeat until you have sewn the gapes completely.

Sewing shoes by hand is a rarely found skill. There aren’t many people who can do this unless they are professionals or have learned the skills in another way. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to sew your shoes by hand.

1. You will need an awl to pierce the leather and strong thread to hold it together.
2. Thread your awl, ready to start sewing your shoes. Threading your awl is easy and straightforward. Make sure to select the sharp-pointed needle.
3. Make your first stitch from the inside of the shoe a few inches from the gape you want to sew.
4. Push the awl out through the front of the shoe and pull the thread a few inches. Pull back your awl, leaving a few inches of thread hanging.
5. From the inside of your shoe, make your next stitch closer to the hole you are mending on the shoe. When your awl comes out through the front, make a loop with the thread.
6. Pass your hanging thread through the loop, pull back the awl, and pull tightly to close the loop and make the second stitch.
7. Repeat this stitch as you work your way across the hole on your shoe. This will sew together the parts of your shoe that had become undone to make the hole. You can also pass your thread across your whole shoe to reinforce the original stitching.
8. Your shoe is now back to normal and can be worn comfortably.

How To Fix The Soles Of Shoes With Glue?

1. Start by cleaning the shoe entirely. This removes any dirt between the sole and the rest of the shoe.
2. Apply your shoe sole glue on the sole and the part of the shoe above the sole.
3. Hold the two parts of the shoe together tightly. You can place a heavy item on the shoe as the glue settles. Or, fix together the two parts of your shoe with tape for a while.
4. After the glue has settled and has held the shoe parts tightly, remove the heavy item or tape from the shoe.
5. Your shoe is now ready to wear comfortably.
