I'm actually trying to avoid Shoe Goo, that's what I'm beating my
brains out now to remove from a previous half-assed repair attempt,
using MEK to dissolve it.

start to pull apart, they're a little like Humpty Dumpty.


Dunno, looking at how the the shoe is constructed, the sole,
cushioning mid-sole and rest of the shoe are distinct pieces held
together by adhesive. With the contact areas are cleaned thoroughly,
if a suitable adhesive is used, I don't see why it shouldn't be
possible to bond them together. These are some Nike running shoes that
I really like and are otherwise pretty intact, seems worth the effort
to see if I can refurbish them, to at least have them as a backup
pair.
