- How do you glue the sole of a sneaker or shoe back on? In this video Doc shows you his trick for instant show repair. When the sole of a shoe comes off or shoes separate, many people turn to SHOE GOO. However, Doc prefers this shoe sole repair method. www.howtowithdoc.com/glue-shoe...

As a cobbler who glues a dozen shoes a week, i use the contacts cement. Works well. Just a tip, he said it briefly, but its very important, if the surface is porous (cloth, crape, leather) you need a second coat, after the first drys a bit.
Seriously can't find a good pair of shoes for my teenager that aren't broken within 3 months
@Barry Manilowa same problem here, I think they are cutting corners.
@Jake Rhodes How about a rubber sole on a boot? Contact Cement also?
This is the method the use when they MAKE the shoes! Manufacturers don't want you to know how to repair them properly like this because you won't need to buy a new pair.
Thanks for the video. :)
You got a point, I am looking for the type of glue they used in factories which I saw in many videos for more than a week, it's like a white glue but I can't find it in any stores so I sorted out to used contact cement like this one but different brand, it is really strong, it is almost 6 months now I can still used my repaired shoes well.
Dude, thank you! I have a pair of Vans that I abused by skating in them and the whole sole came off except for the heel. I used the contact cement and they’ve been holding up for the past four weeks and they’re still going strong! Respect, brother👍🏻
How long has the repair lasted while being used?
I'm listening to this dude from now on man I been looking for a good bond glue for my project restore the "playoffs, OG 1997 black/white and red. This dude knows something from what I see. I will try the glue cement he used!!
Great stuff. I also repair my own shoes but i do it a lil different. First i apply acetone on the upper and the sole and heat it up with a hair dryer to losen old glue and then wipe it off. After its clean of old glue then i apply glue specifically for shoes. Works ok but the process is longer, yours is shorter
Thanks Doc. I bet your wife is thrilled when you put your yard shoes on the kitchen counter 😃
😂 😂 😂 😂 LOL.
laptrip HAHAHA
HAHAHHA
Wow Doc you’re a mind reader. Also can you do a video on different Bermuda grasses because there are so many hybrids. I’ve narrowed my selection down to Celebration and Blackjack Bermuda grass because I’m doing a renovation.
Glad I watched your video. I love to go bowling and while I was playing in the bowling alley yesterday half of the sole of my sliding foot shoe came out. The first thing I thought of was to purchase a new pair of bowling shoes, but my husband said why not glue it?. I asked with what? So, here is TH-cam for the answers. I'll purchase the glue and follow your instructions. Thank you so much. You just saved me some money.
Thanks, Doc. I just used the Contact Cement remedy to glue a rubber tread (the toe ) back onto my wife's favourite golf sandals and it worked perfectly, just as you have so aptly demonstrated. Since I had Shoe Goo on-hand I also made sure there were no little gaps for water to penetrate right at the toe. I think we have a decent repair and want to thank you for your help.
Thanks, Doc! Looking forward to learning more cool, useful tips! Thanks for all you do!
I've been using double sided automotive 3M tape. It holds pretty well for awhile, though if it gets wet in the rain it usually fails
dude thanks for the tip, im a part time reseller and i come across tons of shooes with this problem and now this is gonna change evrything for me...
Great video. Gonna try these on my Foamposite’s
This fixed my Nike Tennis Shoes. Success! Thanks!
Hi Doc. Love your videos! I was looking for the E6000 video on repairing items like air mattresses. I can't seem to find it?
Because Shoe Goo builds a permanent bond (as oppose to contact cement which is not permanent and comes loose under heat), I am sticking to Shoe Goo (with masking tape and rubber bands during curing) for fixing my separated sneaker soles. I am sure many will find contact cement works well, It's just a personal choice.
Thanks for the video.
Omg! You just saved me a Ton of money? I am going to try the second method! You are amazing Sir! Haha 😆 Thank you 🙏 for your video! Excellent 👍🏼🔥👋
Wow! I have used contact cement on other projects and never thought of using it for shoes and he’s right that it glued to itself. Now, I’m going to share a miracle. The shoes I now buy that will never come apart is called ASICS.I don’t know what they use but the sole NEVER separates. I run a sprinkler company and deal with shoes a lot and this issue has always frustrated me. You might ask why I need to glue if I’m buying ASICS. Well, I buy other brands to run around in and when they get older I start using them in sprinkler work and they eventually come apart so the contact cement tip is something I’m going to try
I agree that Shoe Goo isn't good for this type of repair, for the very reasons you mention, that it doesn't stick unless you can keep the pieces clamped together for many hours (hard to do with shoes.) Shoe Goo is decent for other kinds of repairs, especially holes, or breaching chunks of a sole that has fallen off.
Came across your video, after taking shoes to shop for half of sole to be repaired, and guy tells me, he can't fix them cause they were dry rotted, which was a lie, they just have a cork looking bottom. Thanks for sharing this video.
If your in a hurry Gorilla super glue works and lasts a while. You have to keep everything clamped down tight and I like to trace the seam one more time after the 1st round has dried. If there is any crack to be filled I fill it.
I may try shoe goo also.
Years ago just the rubber part wrapping the toe tip eventually came loose but by that time they were pretty much shot and needed replacing. I just dont remember shoes coming apart while they still looked new years ago.
Thank you for this video. I need to repair a pair of bowling shoes. I wasn't sure what type of glue to use. I'm not sure I would have thought about good old contact cement.
What is the name of the contact cement??
Thank you so much DOC.
Thanks so much for posting this....helped save a pair of vintage Adidas.
With the contact cement how about using some heat like they do when they fix a flat tire
Shoe makers don’t realize how hard we work in those tennis shoes, if you work in a yard! We should be the shoe testers!
That just recently happened to my Colby S9 color wave sneakers but does it really work the shoe goo? And how long does it last and is it better than gorilla glue that's what I really want to know.
thx, I'm gonna try it. my roshe run broke and separate into 2 pieces. now I would try to contact cement them together.. the outsole and the shoe
Thanks for the tip.
You mentioned it'll last a couple months....nothing will last longer? I've a pair of boots that I've never worn....found them in a closet after quite a few years and the glue dried out and the sole is hanging off. Would the cement be good for boots also?
What if your shoe sole is just loose from the top should i add glue
Thanks for the video!
I broke my head phone the circle thingy fell off but the good thing is that it still works but is it possible if i use the 1st or 2nd method to fix my head phone?
Thanks Doc. ..just noticed my foodservice shoes are pealing at the tips and they are faitly new skechers.
Going to try thank you
That's why it didn't work for me??!! Lol. I didn't bother to take any time to read or follow instructions!
And they say men don't use directions, I beg to differ!! We made them out to be wrong Doc, or backwards anyway. I thank you, my shoes thank you and my feet are going to be over joyed not having the killer job of breaking in a new pair so soon! Today marks the rest of my days, as the beginning to always reading instructions and following the directions. I really thought there was only one way, the ole' apply and stick method and even throwed the rest of the brand new bottle in the trash, literally thinking it was just a fluke bottle that got by the QA's in production. So I was just going to buy another and try it again, oh how glad I am to have seen your video. So I'm one that is glad it's not about the lawn!! Thank you Doc and God bless!
I’ll have to try that. Shoe Goo didn’t last long and you do have to find a way to hold the two parts together.
I bought new soles to put on my Reiker shoes, cause the soles were thin. I can't get the contact cement to stick to the bottom of the shoes. Any ideas? We sanded both the bottom of the shoes and the new soles.
I have tried the goo and he is exactly correct........if you cannot keep pressure on the two pieces being glued, it will not work. I used a 12 inch concrete block on top of mine and it still did not seal properly. On top of that, it makes a mess that is difficult to get off your shoes when it runs out the edge. These were just yard shoes that I tried it own but I vowed never to use it again.
Have you ever had the rubber sole of the shoe reform and stick itself together?
Thanks Doc. I was about to toss a pair of Jordans, but I think I'll just repair them. 😇👍👍👍
Anecdoite: I'm an American citizen, but Ilived in South America for ten years. While there, I initially had great difficulty finding contact cement. The problem was in the name. Down ther they cal it "Goma zapatera" which literally means shoe rubber or shoe glue..
With the coronavirus going on and stores being closed this is great!
what are other names for contact cement. i cannot find it in my country.
Big help Doc!
Is the contract cement heavy
Well done video. I find it very poor when you look at what you pay for these sneakers sometimes hundreds of dollars I have never had a pair wear out they all fall apart like in the video. One wonders how intentional is that? Use poor quality glue in a couple of years they will fall apart. We can then sell them a brand new pair?
Does the contact cement leave them flexible? I know I used some super glue on a pair of flip flops and it made them very stiff in that area where I applied the glue.
Thanks you saved two pairs of golf shoes.
Please try Flex seal(It’s the only thing I got) My soles about to fall off and they don’t make the shoe model anymore DX!
Great video video.,nice sharing sir.,👋👋I’m new friends here 👍🤝🇲🇾
Do that outside, that contact cement is really strong, unless you like getting high then go for it but do it some where well ventilated
That's what happens when you don't drink... you enjoy life's little moments.
How To with Doc I don’t drink either, but I do work in construction and have had my share of times working with contact cement.
Is this available in Philippines 🇵🇭
Brand New Vans $80 Hi-Tops caught out in the rain,....THANKS!!!! 👍👍👍
my one and only running shoes soles came off today because I dry it on a direct sunlight. making the original glue from the soles doesn't wrk anymore. broke my heart into pieces but it was my mistakes..
Doc, in your experience, how well does contact cement hold rubber to metal, say non-skid strips to ladder rungs?
Use E6000 you'll struggle to ever get it off. Needs to cure for full 24 hours and be held in place.
Thank you!
Being in the laboratory and brings out a paper plate!! Priceless! LOL! :)
Nice scientific method
the biggest secret of this type of repair is the ending. How do you make sure the thread stays in? He has not secured that. And for that reason when you start walking it comes apart. He skipped the most important bit.
Have you ever tried flex glue or gorilla glue?
I'm curious about flex seal glue
I have A pair of shoes by Nike That are very similar in did the same thing
Thanks for the video. Love from India!
2 days and we get shoes? Lol thanks Doc!
why the hell does new shoes . seldom worn but the damn sole keep dropping off
Good thing you have a roof over your head and you are indoors for that thunderstorm DOC! LOL
Ty so much
That's just contact cement. You probably paid 5x for that tube. Thanks tho for sharing your application method! Good ideas!
What tube? Watch the video.
Hi, do you know the type of glue they used in shoes in the factory like Nike, Adidas etc?
ikr dat what i was looking for
Barge Infinity cement. Look for the green can green can. Should be able to get it on ebay or Amazon.
This is good
the real champ is Barge Cement. I've moved on. No more shoe goo.
The secrete in order to repair ur shoes is that its got be done on the kitchen counter, otherwise u will waste ur time...
What a beast
How long does it last ?
I like the video im gunna try i on leather
why are there a lot of thumb-downs? seems like it works. i'm gonna try it. thanks.
Barge cement
Living here in Florida, I've had several pairs of shoes separate and fall apart. I hear that the heat and humidity is part of the cause?
I have the same problem with the nike in the video cause i have that nike also
4:18 Very good idea!
YES ✅ Thanks so much Doc
Why don't you stitch it so it would last longer?.
I LOVE TH-cam!
Will the contact cement work on leather shoes?
is definitely I give it a go to fixe my expensive trainers thanks a gain.
/salute
Picking shoes goo residue off my fingers as I watch this
Now it's time to clean off your counter-top before your wife begins to prepare dinner on it! Lol.
😂😂😂
You're going to need a "how to repair your own azz" video once your wife sees those dirty shoes on the kitchen countertop and stove.
Barge Cement is the best.
Bob Ross fix shoe. like the voice
You ever heard of duct tape? use this to keep it together, then remove.
How about using Crazy Glue?
Not going to last... it'll just end up tearing the shoes apart rather than fixing itself
Once it fails, you will never get anything to stick to that surface again. The whole premise of this video is to find a solution when regular glue fails.
Now if you can teach us how to fix our airmax deflated air bubble... 😂
I saw a video the other day. The guy used a tire plug kit on the bottom and put air back in them with a bike tire pump with ball needle. Once he liked amount of air he finished the plug.
David Cabrera you might be able to send them to mike and they’ll give you new ones. My vapormaxes popped and they are sending my a voucher for new ones
Dude I came here to find out which glue to use and at: 3:30 your wife stole the show.
Shoe Goo is useless! Lasted just a week on my sneakers I go walking in every day.
Thank man, the original shoe Good sucked
My husband use vulcaseal... Lol
looks like mike from breaking bad
