Bottom: Before
Top: After

If the toebox is a certain way I'll get really drastic dents in my shoe. Been experimenting with ways to remedy it and I figured out an easy permanent way to do it.

Brightened up the pic but do you see how deep the wrinkles were in the bottom pic compared to the top? There's quite a difference lol

It's not as bad as these were

 

[promac]

I see it, the top pic definitely looks better

 

[126006]

But I don’t understand the whole reinforcement thing.

 

[yto1312]

I wore mines but never had a dent issue... thats just my feet

 

[turbo95eg6]

You just need to stop sizing up my dude

But I don’t understand the whole reinforcement thing.

I actually explained the process a while ago but I figured out a better way.

 

[whoaitsgee]

So are you going to actually answer their question and tell them what your solution was?

 

[naasfu]

wrap each of your toes with tissue paper to get rid of those pesky wrinkles. am i doing it right?

 

[Gordonson]

I vaguely remember him cutting plastic and placing at that stress area, but it sounds like he's leveled up and son is hitting us with the teaser instead of just dropping game.

 

[chrxszz]

Someone already made frags out of the game royals and they aren’t that bad

 

[0takusamsay]

So the first way was to use a squeeze bottle and I would cut out an oval shape about two inches long and like an inch to an inch and a half wide and superglue it inside to the dent and press and hold it for 10 seconds and then it'd be stuck and voila! Dent gone. But that wasn't a success. It stuck but my toenails would rub and bump into the piece. So I removed the plastic pieces and noticed the super glue had stiffened up the inside on its own. So I tried it with my other pairs. Removed the plastic pieces on all pairs and it was all the same result. So I experimented with pairs with less damage by putting some loctite gel and rubbing it outward on the inside of the leather until it got stiff and then boom same result with no plastic with my toenails.

Sidenote: I still like the wrinkles in my toe panel but I can't do the dents like it doesnt look right when they are super drastic.

 

[turbo95eg6]

Wtf superglue?

 

[promac]

Doing too much imo

 

[cpf262]

Glueing plastic into you're kicks.........

 

[airraab]

I honestly don't see the difference?

 

[cpf262]

First of all, f*ck yall for judgin. No different than people putting shields in their shoes. I just made it permanent in one spot because its a damn blemish to me. Its actually pretty effective but f*ck me for thinking outside the box and coming up with a solution to an issue I was facing, right? No one would want to do this right? Its a bad idea, right? To make a non invasive solution that won't irritate your toes but still gets the job done without having to drop 100s of bucks for some stuff that's nowhere near effective. Its dumb right?

And how can you not see the difference?

Naw bro do you. They are your kicks you can do whatever you want I personally just would never glue plastic into my kicks

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

It looks like it worked. Good job, man. They look better.

Appreciate that I know there may be other solutions but this one works for me and I'm pleased with the results.

Naw bro do you. They are your kicks you can do whatever you want I personally just would never glue plastic into my kicks

And that's cool man. I respect your opinion. This was just done out of necessity for me. If my feet fit shoes normally I wouldn't of had to do this but it is what it is. I get the wrinkles I want without the toe panel indents that always hit the corners. The plastic idea worked but the straight glue method is best because the dent pops all the way out and the glue just keeps it like that. No plastic needed anymore. Those dents f*cked up my royals and I wish I had done no plastic for them when they were still ok but the plastic still needed a consistent pressure to get it while the glue was drying and I messed it up. Dents gone but the wrinkles are still there.

Stuffing your shoes with paper, bags, socks is a better idea right? Or don't bother wearing them and walking like a duck is the way it's gotta be right? F*ck that noise. My Kicks, my solution and it f*ckin works for me. If y'all got a better idea then shoot n*gga. I'd love to hear it and utilize your idea. I ain't the type to shoot down an obvious solution. I didn't wear some of my 1s for the longest because the dents appeared after wearing them for just a few days. Can't size down any further because it will just **** my toes up even more. But f*ck me, right?

And how can you not see the difference?

Just gave my opinion, sorry if I hurt your feelings. As long as it makes you happy who cares what others think (including myself). keep doing you
