Anyone have any experience using Weldwood contact cement to re-adhere
glued-together parts (thoroughly cleaned of course) of a running shoe
such as the bottom sole layer to the spongy portion of the shoe
bottom?

I would think that contact cement does not cure and bond would be less
than permanent like adhesive tape. I might try something like Gorilla Glue.

For shoe parts, I have always used
Plyobond. It is a contact cement, but can
be used by clamping and letting it cure.
The directions say you can do this
with a little heat. I've done it with
and without heat.

Take the project to a real shoe shop. For the few bucks you spend
you're more like;y to be successful than if you experiment on your
own. Remember, President Obama wants you to spread the wealth around
and all the shoe makers I know are less than middle class. Good luck.

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.

Everyone who works with leather uses Barge cement.

Any running shoe that is in the condition of needing parts glued back
together is not a shoe that you should consider putting any more miles
into unless you really want to injure yourself.

Most running shoes stop protecting a runner after 300/400 miles.
Running more than 500 miles in a pair is dumb ... after that you start
reaching the asking to see an orthopod.

You're too late in your reply. 9 years ago, Joe was abducted by Outerspace alien mutant Gay gerbils. The Air Force was unable to intercept the flying saucer and it's feared that Joe was turned into a sex slave by the Gay gerbils. After what's happened to Joe, his family doesn't want him back. ^_^
