What's the best glue to glue leather uppers to soles?
Never been able to find one that works. (For long)

Nor me but the longest lasting was "fantastic elastic" by 151
adhesives, sourced at a local pound shop.

Last repair was done with stixall clear which I was using to seal some
guttering so used it on the wife's shoes, she doesn't use them in the
rain so I don't know how they will fair.

I've a metal bech outside that's glued to the slabs using Stixall Clear.
About 3 - 4 years in all weathers and it's still immovable.

I would have bolted it down but the feet are too close to the edges of the
slabs - I could see a potential drawback to that.


Yes, but that's nothing like what the OP requested. Shoes flex and
any glue you use to stick bits of them together needs to flex too.


Yes, I realise that. Stixall, even after a few years, is still 'rubbery'. I
don't know if it's significantly elastic, though.
