How to Fix Vans (Early) Sole Separation

Рет қаралды 403,917

5 жыл бұрын

Typically when this happens, the shoes are probably beat and not worth fixing. However, it happened waaaay too early for my pair where there is obviously plenty of life left in them. Its hard to let go of your favorite pair of vans. Here's a solution thatll work for ya. Enjoy!
Update: Yes barge cement will obviously work better. This is meant to be a temporary solution with things you can find around your home.
Things I used:
Gorilla Glue: amzn.to/31nW6oi
BUT USE THIS INSTEAD, Barge Cement: amzn.to/2OUZioH
3m Painters Tape: amzn.to/2qc5GxB
Vans Authentics: amzn.to/2qc5WN5
Camera: amzn.to/2nSiBnN

@FullmoonEffects89 5 жыл бұрын

Vans need to stitch that together and maybe cut out a v on that part to add a softer material and it might even go well with their brand.

The thing about shoes with stitched soles is the stitching gets torn up even quicker than the rubber when skating

Lol...the main point in mentioning that was because the sole separation, which is a common trait with beat pairs, started to happen way earlier than they should be. I never claimed mine were actually beat. Have a good day folks!

Good job, unfortunately in a couple of weeks the super glue will break the shoe fabric in several cracks, first of all use industrial glue for canvas shoes with rubber so the shoe will last a little longer with flexibility.

When I saw the thumbnail I legit thought you were going to keep the tape on and just paint over it 😂. I will follow my fellow commenter’s advice and use a different type of glue, but nevertheless this was really helpful.

Without a doubt i would recommend barge cement for a long term solution but this was made with the intentions of using things around the house. Dont goof up like me and remember to take the tape off before it dries. Good luck!

Try a much stronger glue if possible! That way itll last much longer. This was meant to be a temporary solution but with the right glue it could hold a good while.
