There's a hole in the leather of left shoe of my 5.10 Anasazis. It is just under an inch long and large enough for my big toe to stick out. Can a hole like this be repaired?

yes
if you do it yourself it will probably not work or look like shit.
If you let a profesional do it it might be to expensive.
but it should be possible

Would you recommend learning to sew and trying to close the hole myself, then sending the shoes out to be resoled?

this could work. how much toe is sticking out? it may be cheaper to amputate, which will also prevent this happening again in the future.

Generally, if you have a hole through the leather, re-solers don't want your business.

Resolers who aren't also cobblers likely aren't equipped to do that repair. But there is that one guy in New Rochellehttp://www.cobcord.com/ He's who might be able to do it. At least he could tell you yes or no.

I doubt it. I don't really track my weight but I would guess I gained some weight over Winter. I don't know why that would be pertinent though.
Thanks for the responses. I know of a leathersmith in Madison who can look at the shoes but salvage is unlikely.

Because if you used to look like this...
You probably never saw your toes before.

No?. Really?. Even for me, a non-native English speaker, the joke is pretty obvious.

It's not the first time lowbrow humor has gone well above and beyond my head. Probably won't be the last either.

All I have is epic paint. I don't know that Mythic Paint would work well.
