2. Suture method
| Material | Tools | Time consuming |

| Leather/canvas sole | Awl, wax thread | 2-3 hours |
First, punch holes in the sole, and then sew the woolen upper with backstitching, which is suitable for users who are looking for firmness.

Use a hot melt glue gun to heat and bond, which is quick to operate but has poor durability. It is suitable for temporary repairs or children's shoes.
