FINITO!! Custom repaired TOMS. Don’t judge me for the well worn state of my TOMS…they are so comfortable. I’ve been wearing them for a few weeks with a hole in each – right where my big toes hit. I wasn’t ready to part with them. I’ve been wanting to do a little repair, but it had to be easy and fast. So, I shared the table with a few little people. They created Jedi masterpieces…I gave my shoes a makeover. I don’t have the slightest clue how to sew new fabric on TOMS, but I do know how to spread glue with my fingertip.
