Birkenstocks question (shoe repair)

[minendo]

I have a pair of Birkestock sandels that my dog decided to chew through tonight. She got through one of the suede straps and that is the only damage. Is this something that can be repaired or am I out the cost of the sandels?

I would generally search such questions, but at the moment I am pissed off to a point where I figured I'd see if anyone else has had experience in this.

I think you're pretty much SOL. Resoling and such is one thing, but I don't think they redo the uppers.

Sorry. :beer:

That's what I was worried about.

yea, think you are out of luck on that one.

from what i remember as long as you have the straps they can provide the other parts, like redoing the corking, or the sole, but not the other way around.. but then i maybe wrong, for your sake.

Actually go to a shoe repair shop.
There's this tiny shoe place near my office run by this crazy Armenian guy who fixes any and all shoes. I'm sure there's probably a place like that near you.
