Rejoining civilization in a few days so I need a working pair of shoes.

It blows my mind that the thread used for consumer shoes is so shitty. Fixed those up with UV resistant waxed sail thread, should outlive the rest of the shoe.

There's a backing to the seem that needs fixing, but to make an invisible fix I'd need to take the whole shoe apart, this thrift store pair was not designed for disassembly..

@neauoire Last pair of shoes I bought fell apart in 3 months. I then crazy glued them everywhere they looked like they are even /thinking/ of coming apart, and they have lasted 3 years. I have done this a few times now!

@neauoire sadly markets prefer cheap over durable. this is why companies cut costs and use weak materials/construction. i wish we could go back to the "buy once buy for life" mindset.
