darren booth Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 i tried most types of shoe repair glue and none seem 100% on this type of repair.we fix these all the time and very rarely get any back.get Gorilla glue from hardware store.clean area on knaumkeg best you can then apply a thin bead of gorilla glue about 1 cm from edge then push together with your hands and to hold in place fire a few 1"staples around top of heel to hold it in place then leave overnight.then remove staples and any excess glue it will pry of with small knife.then apply a bit of polish and job done.only apply a small bead as glue expands while dryinfg. earlsdoncobbler and keithm 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Some of these units and the upper tend to have a sticky residue that never seems to come off, no matter what you try, even using stripper, and this is a cause we've encountered more that once.

I dont do shoe repaires, but are often asked for a glue to stick soles back on. I would have thought Gorrila glue would not be flexible enough when it dried for shoe repair. Which Gorrilla glue are you using Thanks Bob earlsdoncobbler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people can’t repair jobs like that then they are in the wrong trade or work for Timpsons. ironplanet uk900 and earlsdoncobbler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
