Hi there,

I have a pair of Johnston & Murphy shoes that the local cobbler didn't repair to the level I would have liked.

I've attached an image for reference of the damage/repair to the shoe.

1. Can you remove the paint he sprayed on the shoe?

2. This was the original damage. I dropped a metal corner on the shoe and gouged out a chunk of the leather. It did not cut completely through. The cobbler glued the piece back on and sprayed the toe cap to mask the repair.

3. From wear the shoe is now starting to crack here.

How would one go about repairing this? How durable could I expect the repair to last?

Thank you,

Bruno
