1. Clean the Repair Area

The first thing we need to do is to clean the area that is being glued. I used some isopropyl rubbing alcohol on a cloth. Let the area dry for a few minutes after cleaning.

2. Preparation

Remove the insoles if you can and stuff some paper in the shoes. This gives the shoes some rigidity which is needed during the clamping process. It will also absorb any glue that may seep inside the shoes.

3. The Glue

We will be using Shoe Goo to glue the shoes back together. Shoe Goo is a very thick and sticky glue. You will want to wear disposable gloves to keep it off your skin. Put some sort of paper or plastic sheet on your work table to catch any drips.

4. Apply the Glue to the Sole

Use a toothpick to apply the Shoe Goo into small areas. For larger areas, you can just squeeze the glue directly where it needs to go. Then you can spread it around with a cotton swab.

Conclusion

Now you can get a little extra life out of those expensive running shoes!
