How do you glue the sole of a shoe?
Have the soles of your shoes or sneakers come off? Here too the trick is even easier than the previous one.
How are you?
First the soles are cleaned. This is a step that is always preferable before starting to repair a shoe! You can opt for wipes, a special leather and suede cleaner, a disinfectant spray, or just soap and water. This way you remove residue and dirt before repairing the shoe. Allow to air dry.
Then widen the sole of the shoes slightly and put some super glue peanuts the size of a pea in it.
Then squeeze the shoe and sole together for 1 minute or longer.
All you have to do is let it dry overnight to ensure that the shoe is firmly attached to the sole. Even better, hold both in place with a heavy object.
As you can see, there are different ways to renew your shoes and increase their durability. Difficult at first, these tips are easily accessible to most of us.
