There is no need to visit a shoe repair shop the next time the heel breaks on one of your pairs of stylish pumps. And there’s no need to prematurely toss your high heels into the dustbin either! Most broken heels can be satisfactorily repaired in the comfort of your own home with just a few simple tools at hand.

The first step is to gather your materials. You will need glue and some shoe nails. Make sure to use one of the following types of glue: Krazy Glue, Super Glue, shoe glue (Shoe Goo is a well-known brand) or Elmer’s Carpenter’s Wood Glue. Super Glue is great for a quick fix because it dries so quickly; but glue specifically for shoes will give you the best long-term results. Shoe nails can be purchased at a shoe repair shop and may also be carried by shoe and hardware stores. Often you can reuse the nails that were originally used to hold the heel in place.

Broken heels can be classified into two categories: heels that have broken completely off the shoe and heels that have broken into two pieces. If a heel has completely broken off the shoe, the first thing you will need to do is glue the heel back in place. Nails alone are not sufficient to securely anchor the heel. Coat the sole of the shoe with one of the above mentioned glues.

After carefully aligning the detached heel, press the detached heel to the sole of the shoe and hold it there. Allow the glue to dry. (The amount of time necessary will depend on the type of glue you use, so be sure to read the glue’s instructions.) Once the glue is dry, carefully tap the nails back into their original holes. It is important to coat the nails with glue before hammering them in place. This will ensure that the nails stay put. You may want to insert a few additional nails for added stability.

If a heel has broken into two pieces, use one of the above mentioned glues to rejoin the broken pieces together. You should carefully hammer in a few additional nails in order to reinforce the heel at its breaking point. Remember: never insert the nails until the glue is fully dry.

Most of the time glues and shoe nails do the trick! If the heel breaks again it may be a sign that you do in fact need to visit the shoe repairman (or invest in a new pair of shoes)!

21st Century Shoe Shine

Back in the early to mid 1900’s it wasn’t uncommon to see a man shoe shine a business man’s shoes. In most cases, a shoe shiner made more money on his own than working in the fields or in a sweatshop. Nearly 100 years later in a park in a park in a popular city, a man walks around with an old paint buck that he uses for his seat; underneath his arm is Continue Reading »

The bespectacled colonel who is the face of a popular fast food chicken restaurant has temporarily left the world of fried chicken to instead fill in potholes. Following the recent trend of cause-marketing, the company is now helping local governments by fixing their streets. The business donates the money needed to generate the supplies and manpower to repave and reconstruct streets and other areas of infrastructure in need of repair. In return, the fried chicken giant can market their campaign by stamping their current advertising slogan on the freshly laid pavement.

Is this an example of a company taking advantage of an opportunity to use outdoor advertising/alternative advertising tactics or is this a story of charitable donation and a caring business? Well, why can’t it be both?

Yes, the company is taking advantage of an opportunity. In fact, this outdoor advertising campaign actually takes advantage of several of them. For one, it is an excellent opportunity to market a new promotion or slogan. It’s hard to miss text that is painted on a street; they use it to supplement traffic signs. Additionally, there is the opportunity to establish a positive public image: one of the biggest goals of many alternative advertising programs.

Now, if the company had simply paid a sum of money to the community in order to brand the roads, literally, they might lose a bit of credibility with consumers in the local market. However, because the money (and the message) is going directly to a cause that benefits the public, This branding goes from shameless alternative advertising move to a patriotic execution of civic duty.

The current economic landscape provides the perfect opportunity for corporations to use alternative advertising methods to stand out by connecting with local communities in a meaningful, helpful way. According to studies too numerous to count, this trend of cause-marketing appears to be growing. For example, a major bathroom tissue manufacturer provided a public restroom in Times Square for the third holiday season in a row. Along the same lines, a recognizable coffee giant donated about 400,000 hours of community service towards the rebuilding effort in New Orleans. And a growing shoe company donates a pair of shoes to a child in a developing country every time a pair of their shoes is purchased.

The idea here is nothing new. It has always been acceptable in a healthy capitalist society to exchange public services or works for recognition, whether on an individual level or organizational. Think about how politicians use volunteerism and good works to promote their “brand.”
