Default Glue Suggestions to attach rubber feet to a laptop.

I've always used contact cement. I've glued hundreds, if not
thousands of feet back on equipment and don't remember ever seeing one
come off again.


I was about to say contact cement also. One of its advantages is that it
*can* be peeled if you have to peel it, which is not the case with
cyanoacrylate. It's used a lot in camera repair. It's great when you need
a glue of moderate strength (not totally un-unglueable) that sticks to
*anything*.

You don't have to use it as contact cement (let it dry and then stick it
together); you can use it as ordinary glue. I think the resulting strength
is slightly less, but this is a job where you don't need tremendous
strength, you just need it to stay *moderately* strong for a long time and
never weaken.
