I am rather new to shoe care in general, and wonder what other people do for their sneakers. Does anyone use leather conditioner on their sneakers? How do you care for your sneakers with unusual leather colors or other uncommon shoe materials (like those Valentino sneakers with wool)? Any other comments/tips?

What is the process of repairing crepe soles (4-year old pair of CP boots). I don't know what kind of welt they use, but basically the entire heel of them has worn down to about 1/8 of an inch. Is it just kind of scrapped off the wood/leather part and a new one is glued on? Pretty easy to get done?

Seems fine? Were you expecting no fee's?
Also, would 10.5 Hender schemes fit a US12 (Nike), IT44 (common pros)? The AIr force 1's or Jordan 4 models of it makes a difference.

Should I go for the Kent Wang's for $90 or pay more than double for the Common Projects?

Here are the Kent Wang's I am interested in:

Would you rather have a shiny golden serial number or a second pair of shoes?

See also: Buttero and Diemme.

CPs are too much work to break in. I'm convinced half of the people with them are wearing the wrong size.

Guise I dunno what other sneakers I should buy, got suggestions? I don't want Rick, CP, Guieseppe, Balenciaga

Currently I have Valentino, Margiela, Lanvin, Saint Laurent

Haven't bought new pair in 3 months and I miss the feeling of opening a brand new box of sneakers.
