I've glued the sole onto sneakers. The first time I used while
silicone sealant, because it looked like what had crumbled, but it
didn't stick well, and more kept crumbling. On this pair, I just used
contract cement. I only managed to glue the middle of the sole but it's
been weeks of wearing them every day and it's holding well. When it
fails, I'll redo it, trying harder to get the outsde of the bottom and
the part that runs a centimeter up the sides of the shoe.


Wonder if Liquid Nails project adhesive would do?

I think gorilla glue dries too hard, sneakers
need to be flexible.


The only glue that is flexible enough is contact cement. I first used
it to glue a patch on a down sleeping bag that was leaking down. But
then I realized it was a mummy bag and I can't use one of those anyhow..

My friend's favorite tape is gorilla tape.
