I've got a few early pairs where the stripes and heel tabs are cracking and the coating is coming off. Just wondered if anyone has any experience of fixing them?
I don't mind having a go at painting them, but is it the actual material that is crumbling or is it a coating that I can rub down to a base material to paint on. Cheers for any help.
