I have used construcion adhesive like “Liquid Nails” and they lasted surprisingly well.

I just came across this a year after you posted, RTV is a blue colored liquid gasket maker which may stand out in shoe repair. I have used it in several industrial settings such as seals for drive motors in forklifts, and its is a very very strong and plyable adhesive, to the point i had to use a lot of brute force, my body weight and then some to get the seal to break. I do not know how it works as an adhesive for different materials other than metal to metal, but it cures fast and may work in a pinch.

Closed captions did you dirty around the 1:00 mark

the glue they use for windshield should work good

For the China folks, what is shoe cement in Chinese? I bought 2 different brands, both are water clear and according to the listing shoe glue.

The PLASTIC MATERIAL charts are great to find compatible material, thanks!

Is barge contact cement good for sneakers

haha the nike sneakers that I wore for 7+ years circa 2007-2014 the glue never failed me, and I ran it in the snow, rain, gravel, mud, heated pavement; the out sole eventually worn out so much that it is probably not healthy to keep wearing them, the new ones don't seems to last as long, the sole or the upper usually fall apart way before the cement glue

Good video, simple & straight to the point

I learned many years ago, to buy better shoes. Then the sole don't fall off when the glue fails.

Thanks for the video

I have used Weldwood contact cement on work boot soles with great success over the years. Right now I am still using a pair of Schmidt brand work boots from Tractor Supply bought in year 2011 and now they are still wearable in 2024. I need some fresh glue to do it one more time. I have used small "C" clamps to hold it together overnight or even for a few days. These repairs normally last for at least a few years before having to be done again. There you go. Weldwood contact cement and C clamps.

Does this presentation come with a final exam?...lol....

I'm not sure you said much about how long or how much pressure to apply, but you were very clear that it should be "enough". Some more detail on that would be valuable.

Deserves a comment for the algorithm, thanks

never trust someone that uses a torque wrench as a breaker bar

Barge Cement, Boot Fix Glue, Shoe Goo, Gear Aid Aquaseal are ones i use. Barge Cement is a contact cement. Boot Fix Glue is a CA glue. Shoe Goo and Aquaseal are silicones, I believe. Definitely need the right glue for the right application. Shoe Goo is touted by some as a miracle, but it's hype exceeds it's deliverable. Works pretty good to repair cracks and tears in the exterior.

i wanna buy the glue Nike uses. Where can i buy that?

Question. At 4.02 you say add a second coat before first coat is dry. Then at 6.56 you say the glue has to dry before the second coat. Please could you advise when to do which method?

2 questions did you apply the glue to the lug as well as the sole ..also what brand of contact adhesive did you use ..thank you

I’ve seen people using rubber cement with super glue to instantly bond the layers. Does this count for the needed clamping pressure?

😊

Unexpected blues brothers haha, great video, i‘m gluing now, i don‘t have a clou/glue how this ll turn out

Very good vid. Thankyou

👌👌👌 video....

Thank you.

Thanks.

What would you suggest I use to repair several white vinyl fence pickets on a porch railing? Made with the same stuff as vinyl fencing? They’re turned-looking spindles with a lot of detail.

This is indeed gold! Great video!

As someone who loves shoes, thrifts them, and spent a good amount of time in the most delicate athletic shoes (ie. ballet pointe shoes), the best advice I can pass on about making sure shoes last is to buy 2 pairs of your everyday day shoes so you can alternate wearing them and to use something to help them keep their shape/dry them out on the days they’re not being worn (eg. Crumpled up tissue paper, bag of cedar chips, etc.). Pointe shoes made of traditional materials (ie. mostly layers of paper and glue) can cost well over $100USD per pair and we might get 10 hours out of them so many of those of us that can get multiple pairs to rotate so they don’t break down as quickly. For at least the last decade of my life, I have not worn the same pair of shoes two days in a row. The only shoes that have ever “broken are ones that I have thrifted and even then, they have all broken around the same place on the same foot so I think that foot is just strong 😅 The outsides of your shoes will wear down faster if the body of the shoe isn’t providing adequate support. For most non-labor shoes (ie. shoes not meant to protect your feet from serious injury), they will break down incredibly fast if you wear them every day and don’t give them a chance to dry out properly. Shoes that are designed to last by nature of being for labor, like traditional cowboy boots made from mostly traditional materials that were designed to be worn and worked in daily, require significant break-in time and effort that our everyday shoes do not. Since most podiatrists will tell you not to use your feet to break in shoes, I think they would also tell you to opt for the kinds of shoes not meant to last so long, even if shoes like Redwings and Birkenstocks are always going to have their fans

Great vid,any chance of some advice for a crumbling *mid sole missile on my boot please.

I have found that Shoe Goo is basically useless in shoe repair. It does not last vary long in my experience.

Hi there I’m in Australia what kind of bonding cement do I use the shoe is a Fila -toes shoe I think it’s rubber to maybe rubber fabric

The problem with Ethiopian beans are the quake beans. They are beans that aren’t fully matured on a fully matured crop. They can’t roast right so they end up lighter colored and they affect the taste. Just remove the light colored ones those are the quakes. It’s not that they didn’t roast uneven it’s just those quakes can’t develop right.

I much appreciate your tutorial on shoe repair. Would acetone be better than mineral spiirits for thinning thickened contact cement? Thank you and all the best.

There is something I am not clear about if I use contact cement I have to let it be exposed to the air for 10-15 minutes before attaching both sides of the shoe together. Did I get that right? Other than the question. Wonderful video. Can’t wait to fix these shoes and learn a new skill!

Phenomenal video! 😊

I really like these videos! Most things that i buy are secondhand, and this sort of information is key to finding and refurbishing quality goods that i dont think i would get to enjoy otherwise. I yhink so many working class people feel stuck with cheap mass-produced goods that are meant to fall apart, but there are ways to collect and care for quality goods that o really enjoy. It reminds me of when ppl fix like teacups and they look nicer. Kinsuki?

The toe n my converse have a tiny separation spot at the toe... Which glue would work best... Almost leaning twords the e600 gonna give it a try

Glad I watch this video. I was about to try Epoxy glue. I brought my walking shoes in 2015 and it's 2024. The sole just fall out.

Thanks!

Do you need to cramp for polyurethane glue or wait 10 minutes and stick and hit them like rubber based contact adhesive?

Allot of tesleas have been exploding

Best shoe repair video ever.

Can I use another container to store the shoe? Or pour some into a applicator bottle before use?
