Take it to a shoe repair that will fix it properly with professional stuff. I had a pair of Jams fixed, and you cant tell they were repaired at all.

Cost me a whole $25.

Wow really! Do you know what they use and how it usually takes?

I have no idea what they use. I doubt they'd be very willing to tell a customer.

It took about 3 days total. It looks and feel exactly like its supposed to. Its not stiff or anything like that. The shoe bends exactly how its supposed to.

I know a lot of guys on here will think $25 is too much to fix 1 shoe. Yeah, you can try to do it yourself, but not only is it time consuming, theres a 99% chance it will come out jacked up.

The repair man told me the glue will last longer than the original, and it can get wet and all that.

Its totally worth it.

wow where did you get this done can you send the contact info i think 25 is an excellent price this guy charged me 15 for low cut cherry xi sz 9 worn 2x(no creases and slight dust on sole) but it rained and caused the glue to fade and unglue the shoe but the guy ended up wrecking the sneaker and i had to sell for like 80 (when i paid 225 cuz they were DS) cause the guy messed up the patent leather i was tight cuz i love these thats why i had 2 DS pairs so now im down to 1 and i am scared of wearing those cuz of what happened.
(i did not expect it to rain)



top is DS bottom is worn

same thing happened to one foot on mines. took them to this little shoe shop around my old job, and the guy said he would do it for $5. next day when i went to pick them up, he suddenly forgot the price he told me the day before and said it was more work than he expected, and ended up charging me $20. bastard.
next time i wore them, the other foot comes loose. took them to another little spot around the way to where i had just moved, and he charged me $5 for it. all in all, same price, $25, for both shoes.

love this shoe.

Very nice. Just a tad bit of extra glue in that one spot. Maybe you can carefully remove it?

To the guy that said "thats why you WEAR your shoes". This happens either way buddy.

You can't compare the Is with the XIs, they are constructed totally different. He could put those Is on today & they would still hold up.

& it's no suprise at all what happened to your CGs -they're 10 yrs old -I can't really see what your complaint is about here.

Seems to happen to XIs more...
