IKEA furniture is actually some of the worst! Lol and I worked with tools for a living and can build a lot but I have no problem admitting IKEA furniture is far too difficult for the average person to build especially when their quality is not even good.
Thanks Steve. Saw a video and the guy just glued the it on and left a bump at the seam. As always your attention to detail is what makes you the best. 🥿
I've just had a similar job done on a pair of leather soled Mary Janes. It's about making them more weather resistant for me (not that I'll be wearing them in torrential rain), and making the sole last a little longer. Personally I'd have preferred a non leather sole, but these are shoes I've been lusting after for years, so... Tbh it wasn't that expensive either.
A smooth surface will probably give a lot of issues to get anything glued on to stick properly (I think that's the reason it's sanded down in the first place). I also think the clear ones would look bad really quick, even if the red protector gets worn it's still red, when the clear one discolors it'll probably not look that good. Just my thoughts
When I bought my first pair of red bottoms for me and my gf, the VERY first night after wearing them, the red was almost destroyed simply from walking on them, smh. Never again!
Christian Louboutin's trademark is glossy red painted soles. As the glossy surface is very thin, much of it is scraped away after the first wearing. Some people prefer to have rubber sole protectors installed because they look similar to the original painted finish but are much more durable. The sole protectors also give the shoes more grip. Steve cut an angular groove into the leather sole so that the back edge of the sole protector won't protrude.
Why not add the soles when they are naturally worn down? Makes zero sense to grind them down to save them when one can do that via a natural wearing process and then add them.
The whole point is that you don’t want them to wear down, Louboutins are famous for their red bottoms but the red bottoms also wear off like absolutely nothing which I’m sure is by design so you keep buying more because they know it’s mostly the rich who can afford Louboutins. The red bottoms are beautiful though and make a statement anywhere so it does suck how fast they wear off and if their is a way like this so that they don’t wear off easily then it’s definitely worth it IMO.
@@James_Edward59 Everyone knows what they are there for. Think about what you are saying, "Wear down & sad off the bottoms so they don't naturally wear down & become sanded off" That is stupid. The thing people should do is let them wear down naturally, then apply the layer when time. This of course is the solution if you want the durability & not the cosmetic piece only
@@jakejordan9466 Your last sentence proves you don’t understand what people want. They aren’t worried about the durability, they just want the cosmetic part of it. They just want the red to stay red but since that red on the bottom on Louboutin’s is just a thin coat of paint, it wears off like nothing which ruins the cosmetic aspect that everyone likes about them. That’s why they pay to get these rubber soles put on so that the cosmetic look of it doesn’t change. That red paint coming off the Louboutin’s doesn’t effect the durability of the loafers, it’s solely a cosmetic thing that it changes. It’s really not difficult to understand, they don’t care about durability, they care about the red staying red but since it wears off so quick, they replace it with a red rubber sole that won’t wear off.
@@James_Edward59 As I stated, folks want the sole to last & to stay red. Sanding the sole down affects its durability. I understand they are just interested in the red sole but some are interested in the durability as well. You are not saying anything new. There are 2 reasons why people do this and in my opinion, destroying a sole strictly for cosmetic reasons is stupid.
That is not adding a “protector” that is resoling the shoe, nothing wrong if that is what you want but that is NOT protecting the original sole. I wish they showed a product to actually protect the original painted sole like a transparent material over it or something that could be sprayed over it.
There's no such material you're writing about. Yes, you can find it on Chinese e-stores, but it won't last a day of wear. This is the best way to protect a leather sole. Next time, just take it off, clean it and stick another one on. In between, it'll look perfect the whole time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ihOSc3CV-io.html
I really don't see the point to doing this,plus you didn't cover the joining red soles back very well.Whereas you can see where the cut was joined together. Looked like not one of your best jobs.
