    Those 5's would definitely be a lot harder to restore than the 3's

    If you're a beginner I would definitely suggest going with the 3's as

    they're going to be all around easier to restore

    and theres more info on restoring them on the web

    Most people dont try and restore their green bean 5's so you

    wont find much on them

    What methods are there to restoring a yellowed heel tab? I've heard about getting any paint off using angelus prepper and degalzer and then just painting it but I'm afraid it might crack.

    Hey Matt,

    The only way I know of is to paint it but you're right, it might crack

    Hey Peabrain I have a quick question. I'm restoring some flint 13's I've already repainted the toe box back white and I forgot the acrylic finish. so I'm ordering some should I get the normal, satin, high gloss, matte, or flat top finish. I'm thinking the flat top and would it be okay to apply the finish days after I've already painted them because I have to wait on it to be shipped. thanks in advance.

    Hey Dom, 

     I have a pair of Adidas zx 9000 and the top achilles support in one of them has deformed (or slightly crushed/bent), and now I can feel a lump on the back of my achilles. Basicly the top of the achilles support was damaged and has partly collapased (only slightly at the top. Shoes still looks 100% its just that there is a small bulge that has been created by the bent/crushed top part of the achilles support). Do you mainly work in restoring shoes, or are repairs something you do also? 

    The shoes in question:

    Which video are you referring too?

    If its just dirt I would suggest deep cleaning the material first
    I would go with the flat top or satin
    You've been Pm`d
    Leaving the shoe out too long in the sun will cause sole seperation

    You should use the ceran wrap which will allow the retrobrite to work longer

    therefore needing less sessions altogether

    What exactly did you need help with?
    Try Scotch Blue with the edge lock stuff, it works great

    I would try looking for a polyurethane filler at your local hardware store.  If they dont have that ask what

    would be something similar to it.
    I haven't dyed soles before but I know that the seaglow +Rit Dye does work (ive seen a couple youtube videos)
    Pm responded, thanks

    PEABRAIN:

    What tools/cleaning sprays would you recommend to clean the nubuck on some 2001 Infrared VI's? Also what would you recommend to dye it black again?

    Thanks in ad*****.
