Bustrouffi Report post Posted November 9, 2019 Hi evrryonr! I was wondering if anyone can give me advice to patch my boots. I bought some Dr. Martens but stupidly bought a fashion design and I think what they did to the leather has made it weaker. They've completely come open along the line where walking creates a bend, and I'm hoping I can do something relatively discreet to patch them because I really love them!

YinTx Report post Posted November 9, 2019 Kinda doesn't look like leather. But perhaps you could contact cement some fabric on the inside to bind the split? YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark842 Report post Posted November 10, 2019 Yep, I think about the only thing you can do is what YinTx said. I would use Barge all purpose cement. Find a strong thin patch that won't hurt your foot. Be sure to follow the instructions with the Barge cement. if you do it will hold stronger than new. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiefjason Report post Posted November 12, 2019 Depending on how old they are, I would contact DR Martin before I did anything to them. They may have some ideas or offer a repair service. Other than that, I think the guys above are right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
