I'm just stumped.

Also - the exteriors are in excellent condition - the interiors, not so much :) I think the former owner must've put some kind of pad along the ball of the foot - the pads are gone, but the dried brown adhesive remains. I tried a little nail polish to remove it, but it wasn't up to the job.

I don't want to spend any more time trying to remove it (& possibly damage the shoes in the process) - is this something that could be repaired/replaced by a shoemaker? If so, how? :)

Thanks in advance for your help,

Carolyn
 
Hi Carolyn, the adhesive should come off easy with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.

imho 'Stiletto & Peek A Boo' should be on the title and be sure to measure the height of the heel, is that a 6 or a 9?
 
This might sound bad, but I've always had pretty good luck removing, marks, and even that yucky dried yellow adhesive stuff, with a fine grain emory board. Just rub it real light, until mark, or glue, is gone, Stay away from the writing.
It works for me.

Thanks all -

I'll try your suggestions for removing the gunky stuff :)

<b>Liz</b> - Despite the '6' marked on the inside, they're stamped 7 on the bottom - and they fit like perfect size 7's. I almost wore them to the wedding I went to in Florida - they looked fabulous with my dress. But 4" heels? On moi?! I don't think so ;)
