Default Heel metal loose.



Heel metal loose. Two tiny nails missing. Home repair or professional? If it needs a professional does anyone know a good cobbler in Quincy/Boston? Thank you.

Pull the other nails off both boots and throw those silly pieces of tin away.

Go to the hardware store, get 2 small nails, a hammer if you don't have one, hammer the nails into the sole of the boot.

Attempted renailing it myself first. No joy.
Tried gorilla glue, it didn't take.
