[Closed] What glue/tips for re-sticking sole to shoes?

[#6767211]

One of my walking boots (really a trainer looking at them) have become unstuck from the sole...it all looks pretty scabby in there.

I was thinking about a resole but looking at links on the other thread currently running, it looks like you can only resole flat soles, whereas these have got a moulded jobby.

So what glue? Some rubberised version I can slather over the cleaned up sole and dump a brick on top?

My winter boots did the same and I took them to the cobbler, the sole came unstuck again on the first ride!

Some kind if impact adhesive like EVO stick is probably worth a go.

I've used MCNETT Freesole Repair Adhesive a few times. It's as good as any diy repair.

Another shoo glue user here, when it ran out I got some Evo Stick serious glue, both work very well

I used some rubberised cyanoacrylate on my defective 5.10s last week - it's amazing glue but possibly overkill! (I have warranty replacements but I thought I'd keep these faulty ones - delaminating outer layer of sole - running as long as possible...)

Shoe goo is fantastic. I ripped half the sole of my MT43 on a river crossing in September. Shoe goo'd it back together and it's been fine. Even been through the washing machine a few times.

Shoe Goo. Definitely. Used to go through the stuff when I was a skater. Smells lovely too.

Recycle them, it'll be sole destroying
