Gorilla Glue Q?

[brianl703]

Only on this website can you come along and say "my shoe broke so I fixed it with some industrial Polyurethane rubber I just happened to have around", and everyone finds this normal

Also that I didn't replace those shoes till my sister told me I had to! I said, "The soles aren't falling off anymore, what's the problem?"

In my defense, I wear size 14 shoes and they aren't exactly easy to find in stores. So I put a lot of miles on my shoes before I replace them....

Just ask your local cobbler. While they mostly don't fix disposable shoes they do know what adhesives to use. I know where I saw Barge glue first.

I'm about to go there in the next hour to pick up some meds. THANKS!

You will have to clean out all the JB Weld first.

No Goodwill stores nearby that sell $5 or $10 shoes? Chin up m'boy, things will pick up soon. :*******:

I buy a lot of clothing from Goodwill but I will not wear someone else's shoes...

Same here.
I can go into my local GW store with $50 and leave with several nice real Polo shirts with the Polo horse and jockey on them, some nice button up Dior shirts, and a few pair of Levis and Dokker pants. But I will not wear used shoes.
I sometimes a see a prosthetic leg in there and wonder if it will fit me. Nah, J/K. I have (2) extra ones. I can get a new one every year if needed. But there have been used legs in there before.

My tennis shoe started to come apart at the heel/back section of the shoe. I asked my son if he had any kind of glue to bring it with him the next time he visits. Instead, he bought me (2) types of Gorilla Glue.
I have never repaired a tennis shoe before, let alone any shoe that separates. They are NB with a rubber sole and leather upper. Which of the (2) glues would you use for this repair?

I'd go with shoe glue as it's designed to be flexible and hold.
