pbl4him Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I have a pair of hotter shoes that have not been worn much. The sole almost looks like they dry rotted. They are a rubber type material and are hollow in the center. They have split open. Is there a way to repair these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTL Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Leave well alone unless you want to replace the whole unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 They have rotted, only way is to remove completely and rebuild the whole sole unit. pbl4him and keithm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobblers Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Therein lies the problem unless the punter really likes the shoe and doesn't mind paying what the job's worth............... Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
