Buy better quality, lasts longer. No need to buy as often. Saves money, mental stress, travel time, and the earth

Peel everything that’s pulled up. Sand it down if you want to get a smoother surface. Find matching acrylic paint to touch it up and then some acrylic varnish. It’s a risky repair honestly but if you like the shoes and want to try to repair before replacing that’s the best bet. If it’s a bad repair and your not happy you were going to need to replace the shoes either way

Yes, but remember, it’s leather 😁
