Surely, at least once in your life you have encountered such an unpleasant thing when the sole of your shoe burst. These could be your favorite sneakers or just boots. Most would simply throw away the unusable pair and not think about how much they could save by repairing their shoes themselves. There is nothing supernatural about repairing soles; you don’t need to be a shoemaker to seal them.
Will need
- Acetone or white spirit.
- A construction hair dryer (a home hair dryer is also suitable).
- Shoe glue "Desmokol", "SAR 306" or other based on Desmokol - http://alii.pub/640o97
Gluing a broken sole at home
First of all, thoroughly wash the sole from all street contaminants with a sponge and soap.
After this, wipe it dry and let it dry. Then take a cotton swab and apply solvent to it. We wipe the crack of the sole several times. This operation must be done with gloves, since it is better not to touch the fat-free crack with bare hands, in order to avoid getting fat from the skin.
Using a brush, apply glue to the crack to be glued.
After applying the glue, there is no need to immediately glue the surfaces together.It is necessary to wait for drying, the time of which is indicated in the glue instructions. For maximum reliability, in this case, the operation of applying glue should be repeated.
Now take a hairdryer and heat the glue at maximum temperature to activate it.
As soon as the glue begins to shine, we glue the sole. Hold the glue tightly for 1-2 minutes.
Next, you should leave the shoes for 24 hours, and only then use them.
