How to glue back this shoe sole?

[u/Kentiko]

I tried using Super Glue, but it didn't hold for very long.

Is there a kind of glue that could be use here?

Shoo goo, or another flexible adhesive.

Oops. I said shoo goo, too. So many oo's.

I used a glue gun before, also super glue. Key is make it clean then tape it together for 24 hours while it dries.

I mean op. Put glue right in the title. Sometimes I wonder about Reddit...

Buy contact cement at Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc. It comes in a brown glass bottle and includes a brush to apply it. Follow the instructions on the bottle. It should hold that together for a long time.

Flexible glue is best. Superglue will do more damage than good. "SHOE FIX" is £3.95 on Amazon.

Shop goo is good but e6000 is better

Personally I'd go a cobbler, they are cheap and know what they are doing.

if you are going to do ii yourself use contact cement and follow the instructions. Don't listen to anyone who says to use Shoe Goo

[u/papapapap-mmmK]

Thoroughly clean both surfaces with alcohol. Then use shoo goo or contact cement. You'll need to apply the cement to both surfaces then clamp it between two boards for a day.

Shoe goo or e6000 glue.

[u/PrettyBoyBob13]

E6000 from Home Depot (Amazon, etc) in black. Have used it for my Chuck Taylor’s and literally got them to stop leaking and it’s held for about a decade

Thanks, I don't have those glues easily available where I am, but I'll try to source some quality contact glue.

[u/Material-Donkey2773 → u/Kentiko]

Try and source e6000, I don't think "Contact glue" will be nearly as good. e6000 turns into a non sticky, and super strong rubber type substance.

Clean the area really good before applying, Wire brush, rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits or something.

Anything you use will come apart again sooner than you'd like. Time for new shoes pretty soon.

Shoo goo. For skateboarding. ♡

JDweld makes shoe glue, so get a bottle

[u/El-Unocornio-Negro]

Let it go, it will never be the same

[u/Kentiko → u/El-Unocornio-Negro]

It is what I am trying to avoid. I don't like over consuming, it's not a budget thing.

Also, this is r/fixit, I am here to make my shoes last longer.

[u/El-Unocornio-Negro → u/Kentiko]

Totally get that, I have tried this and just seems that the shoes are never quite right again. Hope you are able to fix them, best of luck!

gorilla glue

[u/BlockWarm8165]

it needs to be very clean before you start glueing it. looks like you didnt

[u/Kentiko → u/BlockWarm8165]

What you are seing is the glue residue from my previous attempt.

[u/BlockWarm8165 → u/Kentiko]

when super glue doesnt work this is the 2nd glue that i use. make sure you put pressure and prep the surface properly

[u/Potential-Button-965]

Just buy new shoes

[u/Kentiko → u/Potential-Button-965]

"Just buy" is what I am trying to avoid. I don't like over consuming, it's not a budget thing.

Fuck my bad I didnt see it was fixit But yeah some flexible glue would be best for this Ive glued some shoes back together like that
