Can this split on the sides be repaired?

Hiya! I bought these second-hand five years ago and I wear them all the time. But the sides have now started to split on both shoes – from your experiences, is this something a cobbler could fix or is it only downhill from there? Worth noting that I'm not sure about the actual model or whether this is genuine leather or synthetic. If it is leather AND fixable, would a leather conditioner help maintain things after it's been fixed? All insights welcome!

Hi all,

I'm recently diagnosed combined ADHD and slowly coming to terms with it and connecting the dots with behaviours I've always had etc

I'm in my 30s and my weight has fluctuated my whole adult life - I lose it, put it back on, do it all over again, etcetc. Food noise is constant. I've never considered myself to be having an eating disorder (I love food, I don't skip meals, I love sharing meals with people) just now starting to recognise some patterns of potential disordered eating that I link with ADHD (impulsivity around food mostly).

Now, went to the GP today to try and get some help and was thoroughly ignored/dismissed. No empathy at all, she didn't seem to acknowledge the role ADHD could play and just recommended a weight loss programme in a nearby hospital. I'm not sure what else I expected tbh but I just didn't feel heard at all, and I don't see the point of doing yet another weight loss programme that's only temporarily gonna solve the problem (the food noise inevitably comes back)

I guess I'm just after advice from people with similar experiences? How can it get better while I wait for titration? I have such high hopes that meds could help with food noise but in the meantime I'm so exhausted by this cycle.

Alternatively, anyone to recommend a nutritionist in London with a real understanding of ADHD?

Thanks!!
