August 2, 200916 yr I have an awesome pair of purple high top Chucks that have been through a lot, though I've only had them for about 4 months. The rubber sidewall on one of the shoes is cracking where it bends in the toe. I can't think of a way to fix them though. Do they make some sort of flexible rubber repair kit? I've been told rubber cement is water-soluble, so I don't think it would work. [hide=Massive pic, crack is near the toe][/hide] It's gotten bigger since this pic was taken. sig by Soa.....tip.it times.....art & mediadeviantart/flickr/last.fm/steam/twitter/tumblr/youtube
August 2, 200916 yr I can't see the crack, but Crazy Glue holds anything together... Mighty Putty, alternatively. Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you.

Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy Camera guy: runs away still laughing Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]! Matt: FUNNY ISN'T REAL! FUNNY ISN'T REAL!
August 2, 200916 yr Try Shoe Goo, it works pretty well from what I remember. http://www.weplaysports.com/Shoe/Goo/ "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
August 2, 200916 yr tears, rips, cracks just is part of the life cycle of canvas shoes. I go through a pair of Van's Old Skools every six months. I've tried fixing them before but nothing seems to work all that great.
August 2, 200916 yr Do you skate, stevepole? If you do, then it's another story. Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you.

August 2, 200916 yr Do you skate, stevepole? If you do, then it's another story. I longboard, fixed gear, and just ride a typical road bike. I'm more of a cyclist then then anything else but no I don't skate.
August 3, 200916 yr You must be riding them out pretty hard. My converses last me about 7 months, and I thrash them. Don't bother taking them to a repair shop, not worth it. Just keep wearing them though, because converses have to have that old school, grunged up style.
August 3, 200916 yr That happens with almost every pair of Converse I've ever seen, no big deal Maxed 15/06/13
August 3, 200916 yr Shoe goo. :thumbup: But on the topic of your health. Don't wear Converse All-Stars. Composed of 40% Crap 20% Rubber 10% Canvas And for good measure 30% Crap. Gotta' trust me on this. They suck.
August 3, 200916 yr Shoe Goo is the best idea. I've repaired my flat sole Macbeths with it multiple times and they're pretty similar to the way Converse are made. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."
August 3, 200916 yr might also buy new shoes,i don't know the cost to repair them but you can think about it.
