Quick boot sole repair

[notbike]

The rubber sole on my right boot (tractech evo waterproof) has come away from the rest of the boot at the heel end.

What's a quick way to re-attach it? Don't fancy dishing out for new boot when it's something this minor.

Was thinking some kind of strong glue or that rubber sealant stuff that you can use in bathrooms to fix sinks. Preferably something cheap that will take maximum a few hours to dry as I'll need to fix it before work tomorrow.

Pls share wisdom bcf thx.

araldite

Ahh nice one man thanks.

Araldite will set too hard, it'll just break again. I'd use sealant myself.

Is it at the top of the heel plastic where it meets the leather? If so, mine have done the same thing. Every time I go through standing water then slow down, I get a nice puddle of water moving through my right boot.

Shoe goo, worked on a few pairs of work boots.

Same situation as OP, used Gorilla Super Glue Gel. Worked a treat.

I've always used a contact/impact adhesive for that sort of repair as it stays flexible something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Evo-Stik-Purpose-Impact-Adhesive-Super/dp/B002NPTNIK/ref=sr_1_11?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1452669759&sr=1-11&keywords=contact+adhesive should do the trick.

Ive always used araldite its still holding my sidis together

I recently did my army combat boot sole with original gorilla glue.

It's polyurethane foam so has a slightly flexy/spongy feel when cured.

Be aware it expands a bit as it cures and can squeeze out round the edges or force the pieces apart so they need holding together 'till it's set (I clamped mine lightly in the vice for a couple of hours). You can then easily cut off the excess with a sharp knife.

Gorilla glue is my new favourite glue for sticking most things to most other things.

Contact adhesive if you can get it to work.

I have some 'hybrid glue' gap filling water and heat proof stuff that does for quick shoe repairs, sticking heated grips on and other such tasks where one part needs to slide a bit before sticking. Grey tube, blue cap. Pricey but works quite well for generic bodges,

The trick to contact adhesive is to clamp it up tight for 24hrs. Sure it 'grips' instantly but that doesn't mean all the solvent has dissipated. glue the boot and hold the two parts together tight for a day and it'll be a good joint.
