How To Mend The Curved Part Of A Rubber Sole
Steps
- Purchase a heat-and-water resistant adhesive. This is available in department stores, hardware stores and shoe repair shops.
- Clean the area thoroughly and allow to dry completely. Remove existing tack from the old glue during this process. To be absolutely sure that the shoe has dried, wait at least 24 hours and perhaps longer in a humid environment.
- Follow the directions accompanying the glue that you have purchased. Cover both the toe area of the shoe and the sole itself so that the glue can adhere together.
- Clamp the shoe and sole together. Do this using rubber bands or woodworking clamps (small). Allow to sit for another 24 hours before removing the clamp.
- Check the the sole has adhered fully. Repeat the gluing process if you find that you have missed an area. Once fully dried, your shoe should be as good as new.
Tips
- This procedure can also be applied to other areas of the sole that come away from the shoe, such as at the sides or the back of the shoe.
Things You'll Need
- Heat-and-water resistant glue
- Clamps - either rubber bands or hardware clamps (small)
- Shoe cleaning equipment
