So I found this beautiful paid of Ferragamo's at a thrift store and when I got them they were immaculate, save the sole wear around the edges, which I'm sure is common on used shoes. This morning I happened to notice that within the past week or so that I've had them I've scuffed and scratched up the tip of the toe cap. I don't have the slightest idea how I did it but it's done. Evidently I need to learn how to properly walk in a nice pair of shoes so as not to damage them -sigh-
But I digress, sorry, my question is can they be repaired/refurb'd? Will shoe shine work for this kind of thing as a temp fix until I can afford a repair? I'd prefer something simple since I know a refurb is probably going to cost me a good bit.
Also, I didn't take pictures of it but I have a pair of Ferragamo Studio's as well and the sole has come unglued. Does anyone have any suggestions on what type of glue is best to use to fix it? Would something like Gorilla Glue be ok?
Also, lastly, I've been trying to figure out how to read the serial number on the inside of the shoe to determine what make/model/class, etc. of shoe the pair i the pictures is. I know they aren't studio's and Google is no help on this but from picture comparison's they could be either mid or top tier shoes (I've found shoes in both categories that look similar in style).
Thanks again for all your input!
