A battle for the ages was recently waged between man’s best friend and woman’s best friend. This guy’s pup decided it would be a smart idea to nom on his girlfriend’s favorite pair of ($500) shoes, and she was less than thrilled. However, Imgur user OthienCosplay came up with a marvelous idea on the fly and kept himself and his furry bud out of the doghouse by repairing the shoes… in the most metal way possible.
“A wailing cry brought me from my workshop. A quick assessement of the situation told me, that things were not good. In the picture: my girlfriend crying and my doge starting to comprehend the gravity of circumstance.”
“I’ve barely recognized the 500$ pair of Kurt Geiger stilettos. Oh doge, what have your teeth wrought…”
“Before things got out of hand, I snatched the shoes and put them on my worktable.”
“A quick leather patch filled the hole, but I knew it wouldn’t be enough.”
“I polished my precision hammer in preparation. The battle was about to begin.”
“A simple curved plate of stainless steel covered the damaged part nicely.”
“I knew some brass embellishment would go a long way towards recovering from this catastrophe.”
“More plates. And thin brass on the heel, to retain the sleekness.”
“Now for the front part. Here was the first concept, I didn’t like it however – felt too bulky.”
“I repainted the shoes black and settled for a more streamlined front design.”
“(The decorative sharp part on the back is easy to remove and put back. Cheers for practical design!)”
“A bonus photo of the culprit.”
