So I received these wonderful vintage bat shoes in the mail this past weekend, however I may end up returning them. Although the shoes are technically brand new and didn’t display any signs of wear, the patent coating (note: they’re not real leather) started cracking and flaking off (presumably due to aging) within minutes of trying them on.
Do any of you have any DIY/shoe repair tips on how to salvage my shoes or should I just return them? :-/
