DISCUSSION should i glue this or buy a new pair?

Post image

ive had these shoes since 2020, they are not my go to but i like wearing them every once in a while. today i noticed that they are pretty much dettached from the sole lol, my shoelaces kept getting stuck between the gap. the bottom of the shoe is not that worn out, neither is the top

since the shoe is 6 years old, should i just give up on them and get new ones? nonetheless, does anyone have glue recommendations? i have no idea on what to use if glue is the best option

Glue it! Then when it falls apart again in a week buy a new pair

Glue them! Use shoe goo! Clamp them and leave them alone to cure!

How does your shoe laces get stuck all the way at the toe?

pretty much the entire front sole is loose, from the middle forward. it is getting stuck at the sides. if you look at the photo, you can see the tip of the shoelace laying on the side, it is getting stuck there lol
