That said bike shoes do have a pretty hard life, I've glued a bunch of shoes over the years but never had a bike one really last well.

I am not convinced much will fix that if you have torn through the structure of the shoe.

The sole seems intact. The rubber has ripped down the middle and pulled off the sole 

Shoe goo is still in transit to me. I still have hope 😀

In my experience nothing works for very long

This. I started a thread on the subject a while ago, some really good glues recommended, none of which lasted long enough to be worth finding a place they could dry without being placed sole down or knocked over, even with a little sign saying "wet glue don't move or touch".

Repairing soles etc where the actual shoe is in good nick fair enough but thats a tall order.

Which isn't to say i wouldn't try... Maybe time to break out the awl and toothfloss at the same time.

More flexible than shoe goo

New shoes.

 

 

 

In my experience nothing works for very long.

That's been my previous experience. I'm hoping £10 of glue will stave off £100+ of new shoes for at least 6 months.

I don't hike a bike up rocks very often each year.

 

Secret is patience and leaving the shoe for a day or two.

I'll get it clamped up for a week

Probably the same stuff as above. If it can hold a deflated tub on a rim on a 43 degree bank. it'll hold your tread.
