Anti-Slip Rubber Shoe Repair Materials, Full Sole Replacement, Black, 11.8x4.53 in, 0.2 in

I bought these cheap house shoes I love. Sides and inside durable enough. Bottom was junk. So broke out my clamps , Shoe Goo and rubber cement. I'm happy. House slippers great

Only worn these less than 7 days. I was very skeptical that these would stay on securely with just glue. I am cautiously optimistic. My favorite comfort athlete shoe is old, with worn down soles. They had ZERO treads on the sole causing me to slip and slide on any wet pavement. I decided to try these 'replacement glue-on' soles, as they have a serious traction tread. The size was perfect for my shoe so I didn't need to trim them. I used the (separately purchased) shoe glue recommended by Amazon. You have to let the glue set for 24 hours after application and I applied weights on the shoes for constant pressure to insure a strong seal. After initial gluing I found I had to keep reapplying more glue to small gap sections that had opened up. It took about a week of regluing to make sure I closed off all the small open pockets that I missed when initially attaching the soles. End Results: so far, so good. I went for a light hike in a park with a 'forest-like' terrain fully expecting these soles to fall off within 10 minutes--but amazingly they stayed on! I've only worn them less than a week...maybe the glue seal will eventually fail and the soles will come loose, but as of this writing they seem to be holding up pretty well. Now, would I recommend this for athletic shoe repair for shoes used for intense sports activity: Absolutely Not! It's just my speculation, but my guess is that anything greater than a brisk walk will probably strain the glue seal too much and eventually cause the soles to detach. But for me, for now, and with the light level of physical activity I'm putting these soles through (basically just regular walking), I'm very happy with these and they (for now) appear to be performing well.

Since some people don't seem to know how to resole shoes, lemme provide a quick explanation how it's properly done: First, you need clean and flat surfaces. I used a drum sander to flatten out my crocs. Then you need to clean both surfaces with acetone really well. THEN you put down the contact cement. I used Weldwood from the Ace Hardware. It works perfect. The trick is to use a heat gun to dry out the cement, and then you put the sole on. It IMMEDIATELY sticks so get it right the first time. Then after it's down I put the croc in my shoe anvil and hit the sole with a hammer a few hundred times to really stick the sole on. Then I trim the extra sole down, and sand it smooth on the drum sander. I love Crocs, but I hate that they become very slippery quickly after they're new because of how fast the soles wear down. I walk my dog a lot in Florida and there's puddles everywhere half the year. I'm a hobbyist cobbler so this project was super easy. I knew they DON'T come with adhesive! I used my drum sander to sand down the bottoms of the Crocs, then scuffed the flat surface of these soles and used contact adhesive to hold them together. After some trimming of the extra I went back to the drum sander to round off the corners and smooth out the transitions. They work great! And the bottoms will now last a lot longer.

I liked my Sketchers, which I paid $40, I guess that is not a lot of money these days, and while the tops held up well, the soles wore down very quickly. I decided to try and retread them, something I have not done before. The retreads were a bit small and did not need to be cut even though my size is only 9. It is a wide shoe for the size, probably because they are hikers, not just tennis shoes. Anyway, they did not come with shoe contact cement, which I bought separately from Amazon (Angelus Brand). No directions on the product but I did watch the video and the contact cement had instructions. In short, the glue did not adhere well to the retreads and was particularly weak on the heals and toe tips. The glue stuck fairly well on the shoes themselves. So, is the problem the resoles or the glue? Quien sabe? I paid $16 for the 4oz contact cement and $10 for this product in a failed attempted to self repair a $40 shoe. Still, I learned something. However, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this product. Sorry :( Edit: Second crack at the repair seemed to work better. The retreads do not adhere well to the contact cement that I bought, so I repeated the repair this time pressing the parts together much quicker (contact cement instructions indicated 15 minutes). At even 10 minutes, the contact cement lost its tackiness. The heels and tips did not work at all as they were curved surfaces, so I finished them off with using a tube of Shoe Goo with clamping. Not a perfect repair and I won't try such a repair again, but good enough to elevate my stars from 1 to 3. Good luck!!

These are difficult to keep glued to your shoe. I would not buy this product. I used rubber cement made for this type of product and it still did not work. Only one stayed on and the edges were all coming apart. It's not worth the money. Just take your shoes to a shop.

Worked great! I glued the new sole onto my 30-year-old UGG’s. It's important that your process is sound. 1st make sure the sole you received is completely sanded with no shiny spots. Use some 100 grit sandpaper to completely scuff the surface, if any glossy sections exist the glue won't bond. Sand the tread off your show or boot. I used a disk grinder for that and a small disk grinder to scuff the sole. The surface needs to be sanded and dust-free. I used Barge Cement to glue mine. A “very thin” layer applied to both pieces and left to tack dry to the touch 1-2 hrs, a second layer can be applied but only very thin. Let it tack dry again. Apply boot to sole, make sure it's lined up correctly, and press together. Let sit over night and trim with a razor bland.

Good product, I recommend it, when used it changes the sole similarly.

Durable rubber soles come with no instructions. I replaced soles on my favorite hiking shoes--messy process but worked great. Wouldn't attempt without a bench vise, disk sander, and hand grinder.
