It's actually pretty simple how it works after reading that article....you can find bulk melamine foam for cheap online too.

Liquid BKF is legit. Got my Concords white, lace loops and all after about 3 failed methods. Don't notice any difference in the texture of the mesh either.

Can you email me a link or tell me the exact kind you used. Because I think it's 2-3 kinds of BKF.

Hey everyone. I'm not sure if this is the right thread. I had heard if shoes are a bit big one could try using some insoles. My question is whether you leave the original set in as well or just swap them out? My playoff 12s fit like clown shoes and I just want them to not be so loose.

yes get some insoles and put them on top of the original ones, make sure the insoles you are putting in are your actual size, also when you do this it vastly improves the comfort of the shoes i have noticed, good luck!

The iron/wet towel method;
Starting with materials, I have my shoes (duh), an iron, warm water, soap, and a tooth brush, my shoe inserts, and a rag. If you don't have shoe inserts like those, then stuff your toe cap with rags.
My creased toe box
I put my inserts in the shoe. If you don't have inserts like I do stuff the toe box until it looks like that.
Wet the rag, and use the tooth brush and soapy water to clean up the toe box. Keep the toe box wet.
Cover your toe box with a wet rag. Then iron out the crease as you would a pair of pants or a shirt. I iron from where the lace starts to the point of the shoe. And I cut the toe box in 1/2 so I am thorough.
Comparison between one I ironed and one I did not.
About to go buy some shields

I just let it dry out. Then I brush off the dried solution with a wet toothbrush.

Are French blue 12s safe to wear?? Don't want to wear them feel like the sole might separate and if they arnt any way to make them wearable?

Mine are DS but I plan on breaking them out come summer time. I don't see why they would separate, the 12s were built like tanks .. anybody else have any input?

They should be fine but if you are skeptical I would break em out once a week until the summer. Walk around in them for a couple minutes. Just to kinda ease into the complete DSing. The moisture from your feet combined with your weight should help compact the midsole and "warm" up the glue.

Would the paint start chipping/cracking badly or no??
- Aug 4, 2005

Paint should be absolutely fine. Like what was said, 12s are tanks. And the midsoles are built differently than 3s and 4s. Those are straight foam and crumble like nothing
