Loctite super glue is the stickiest substance in the known universe. If that fails, it's new shoe time.

Probably Araldite for cycling shoes where the sole is stiff enough. If they're not that stiff though (Sidis aren't the stiffest, or didn't used to be), the Evostick contact adhesive works better as it's more flexible.

Superglue is only any good if you've got very closely fitting surfaces, which you're unlikely to have with the sole of a shoe (though you can make it fill gaps better by adding bicarbonate of soda - otherwise known as baking powder).

You need something a little flexible with shoes. I'd advise you just go to a shoe repair place tbh, I had the sole come loose at the front of my sidi motorbike boots and had 2 attempts to repair it myself, neither worked well, one 10-minute visit to the shoe place and they've been perfect ever since. And they didn't charge either, just asked for a charity donation in their box.

I glued my Specialized Sport Shoe sole on with epoxy (araldite), not moved since and the shoes are now about 4 years old

You can get superglue gel (I forget the actual name) but it is very slightly flexible when dry so won't crack like bog standard superglue. I've used it on soles before, no problem.

Stormsure or Aquasure wetsuit glue. I keep it in the freezer and everybody in my house uses it to stick shoes back together.

Odd stuff, needs 12 hours to set but when it does it is stronger than what it is mending and still flexy.

Get it from a surf shop or on line.
