Need something to glue my tennis shoes

It's kinda funny, but TBN seems to have the answers to almost anything.

How true.
Worse, I forgot that fact and jerked around too long with separating shoes before I asked. I think if you live in a rural environment and aren't filthy rich you learn to solve your own problems and have a skill set most city people never develop.
Maybe it's the other way around....the smarter and more creative problem solving types are naturally drawn to the rural areas?

Another vote for shoe goop, it works great, goop also makes glues for other projects like plumbing electrical etc... I believe it's probably the same stuff just different label?????

FLEXTRA caulking to reattach front soles on wife's walking shoes.
Gobbed it in and weighted it until cured.
4 years now and still good.

Evidently the Shoe Goo works, but I didn't know about that when my favorite knock around Dexters started coming loose around the sole. I did have Gorilla glue and it has worked fine for about a year. Have to be sparing with it though as it expands and pushes out the edge if you use too much.

ive used shoe goo in the past with good results.

also used liquid nails which i thought held better long term.

Amen. The freaky part is sometimes TBN provides the answer before you asked the question! :thumbsup:

I have used either Shoe Goo or plain old contact cement in the past.

I will have to try the glue on my JD seat that separated from the base. Looks like they used expanding foam to glue it together and I figured I would have to do something similar.

4 years out of a pair of walking shoes? Wow!! Anything special about the way she walks?

S..point said what i was thinking. The sole delaminated 4 years ago, so at that point they were not new, so how after 4 years has she not worn through the rubber and walking through her foam soles? Maybe his wife really does not walk like were thinking 1 mile 3 times a day but just wears "walking" shoes on the weekend in the summer?

On my JD seat which had completely separated from the plastic pan I did one section at a time. I put plenty of goo in the track then used clamps and a scrap piece of 1" x 4". Let it set over night then did another section. It has held for four years.
