Thread: Fixing a lose sole on a leather boot- waikato

Hi, does anyone know a good place to get a boot sole reattached ? toe part has come lose and as its not actually flapping it shouldnt be too hard to fix properly.

Boots were $400 about 1 1/2 years ago and still in good nick apart from the sole so repairing seems a good option.

anyone have any ideas ?

I used this stuff and it works really well, just follow the instructions.

I've always used "ADOS Contact glue" Only problem is that it's better once they have started flapping so you can get the glue in there.

Ive opened it up a bit to get good coverage. Its was full of mid and stuff so ive blown it out with the airgun earlier today and now its clean and dry. Will have shopping run tomorrow and have a look at doing it myself.

Shoe Goo is the stuff to use. I think Mitre 10 sell it.

Great stuff, thanks, i will go and see him tomorrow. Rather try and have it done properly than my stuff it back together job.

If they’re only a year and a half old I would be having a chat with the store before attempting DIY.. even if they’ve had a decent amount of use, that sounds like a materials failure, not a usage issue.

Is it the sole or is the pu shit that's let go
