I've used epoxy for 45 years, set the leg of a chair or table into the heal of the boot -- overnight ---never failed. At least 25 pairs of hiking/work boots always wore out somewhere else. My epoxy black/white supply has lasted 55 years

Epoxy is not flexible enough for shoes repair.

Unless the stiletto patch-up heel piece becomes bone hard to support weight of the wearer, it is likely to fall off. Also, (unless already done), drilling a small diameter hole into the heel to increase holding strenght fir the filler/build up. Boots: some of the hollow areas could be filled in to gain better hold between sole piece and shoe. Many manufacturers now are in effort to save on material in sole pieces.

Regarding 3:43, if you premix some black pigment into the clear glue as an additive, then after the glue has cured, you no longer have to coat its exterior with a black marking pen or black paint.

On the boots, you can wrap them tight with plastic wrap and reinforce duck tape. That way the duck tape doesn't stick to the boot and you can trim off the excess plastic wrap and glue.

I've used contact adhesive ('Genkem' .. a South African Brand) for years. Has never failed. The secret is in the preparation beforehand of the surfaces to be joined, the initial 'clamping' together and then maintaining that pressure for the prescribed time. Rubber bands don't cut it. It needs serious pressure. Apply the 'RFM' Function beforehand .. 'Read the Flipping Manual' .. simple.

Contact cement - the original version, not the "improved" junk and what shoe repair shops use has worked for me for years. It's applied with a throw away acid brush. Then I use heavy (1/4" wide) rubber bands overnight to hold the footware together.

@trekpac2 3 ай бұрын

This is especially helpful for fixing a cut in the leather on the boot top. Spread a bit under the surface as well as on outside. Phenomenal stuff. Lasts forever. I orignally used it because I saw that it was what my local shoemaker uses.

I have found hot glue and a heat gun work great. Heat the sole side, apply glue stick while keeping the heat on. Heat the shoe side, then reheat the hot glue. This also spreads the glue, you want a thin, even-ish layer. Keep the heat on as you bring both pieces together. Clothespins around the edge, a water bottle filled with lead shot or a bodybuilding free weight sitting on the heel, or you can place the shoe upside down on a pipe or something and put something heavy on top. It takes a while for the glue to cool down as it's insulated.

@grmonkeykatt 15 күн бұрын

You forgot to say Park your car on it overnight. Hot glue is for little craft projects, not shoe repair. Use the right kind of glue and use it properly. It will cost the same amount of $ to buy contact cement and use it properly. The only thing stopping you would be laziness to actually go out to get it.

@Simon_Jakle__almost_real_name Ай бұрын

I tried to glue and using silicone or textile glue for a loose sole, but when you roll your foot the fixation wears out, so how can this be made lasting longer? would/does cotton material stick on plastic, for how many hours of walking? runners or sportlers shoes won't last long with techniques discovered or shown "to us" so far. How long did your "glueing" last on a shoe that seemed quite cheap? Would elder shoemakers knit the parts together with a saddler needle, attempting to boar holes, so the "mend" rather lasted? boar additional holes to stuff the glue material in? Until all products would have to be rented? when the work becomes way too expensive? Those tricks often shown on portals like youtube would be all about how durable the turn out. I'd recommend mentionning the time phase of "usability". Since we're not all actors (wanting to depend of) looking good.

That glue is a total waste of time and money for a repair like that. You probably already have the the right glue in your workshop. Contact Cement. NOT the clear model glue in a tube. It comes in a can or a brown glass bottle. It looks like snot and the smell will knock you out, so use it outside. It's super easy to do. Apply the glue to BOTH surfaces, you must Let it dry for 15 minutes or it won't work. Then stick both surfaces together. No clamps or rubber bands needed. You will not be able to redo it if you mess up so pay attention. It's that strong. This is the right way to do a repair like that. I fix shoes
