Shoe repair - help/advice

[blew]

I did a similar repair on a pair of Sidis where the sole started separating from the heel. Used 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 based on recommendations.. It worked great, has held up for years of continued use. Takes a while to cure, use a c-clamp to hold the sole in place for a few days. The sealant has some flex, which works well for this application.

Barge cement is a joke compared to this stuff!!! The rubber lip on my Lake 242s kept coming unglued and I kept using Barge cement and it kept coming unglued etc etc.
G/Flex solved it.
It's a slow drying epoxy and it has some flex, which is what make it perfect for this.
You have to tape whatever you glue or use a vice to keep the tow parts you're glueing in contact, but once this stuff dries it's not coming apart.

This will do the trick. ^^^^^^^^^^^^

I've had shoes fixed before its not a big deal for them.

Any cobbler within 20 miles of a dragstrip should be most familiar with such durable repairs.

I've had a sole torn off of my Fox M/C racing boots because of the sticky track surface on a hot day, but in those situations it was duct tape first, cobbler later.

I used the same. Just make sure to get some kind of clamp to hold it together while it cures.
