Trying to see if these are still able to get fixed

New Laces
Clean the leather
Use Magic Eraser and Scuff n' Stain on the rubber midsole
Spray the inside with shoe cleaner
Air them out
Stuff then iron out the wrinkles in the toebox
Reshape the heel cup
Store with shoe trees
Rock the mess outta them and clean regularly

So yeah they can be saved.

yeah i would at least try
 
They can be saved to cut the grass and take out the trash, why buy new laces for beaters though?
 
i'd let em finish, they're just way to creased to be able to save truthfully. Those have taken a beating.
 
you def can restore those, but it would take an act of God to do so. A lot of project time and materials..but its not worth it.
 
Those are beat. You could try and fix them but if it does not work that would be a waste of time. Guess it just depends if you want to risk losing all thattime for maybe nothing.

I remember somebody posted how they did it a few years ago. This is what I think they did.........try at your own risk.

1 - Stuff toebox with washclothes very tightly
2 - Cover toebox with towel/s
3 - Either iron or steam them (not sure)
4 - Keep them stuffed for a day or so till they regain permanent shape and recover from being steamed
5 - Wear them and watch them crease again, cuz that's what all XIII's do


Like I said - Do at your own RISK cuz I'm not responsible for you burning the leather off your shoes
