A tube of "Shoe Goo" might do it.
What is Shoe Goo?
Shoe Goo is a rubbery adhesive and sealant that comes out of a tube just like jelly. Shoe Goo is not a trademarked product and several different manufacturers make and market it under Shoe Goo and similar names. It also works as a waterproof sealant and comes in two colors: clear and black. You can typically find Shoe Goo at shoe stores, shoe repair shops, Ebay, Amazon, Wal-Mart, and Target.
What Can it be Used For?
Shoe Goo is perfect for repairing several different types of shoe problems. It repairs splitting, when the rubber sole detaches from the base of the shoe and flaps. It�s also great on tears were it can act as a waterproof sealant. Finally, it�s most famous for rebuilding the soles of shoes that wear out.
Getting Started
Before sitting down to use Shoe Goo to fix your shoes I recommend gathering the following items: A rag, sand paper or a nail filer, an ice cube, and a tooth pick. Just like any adhesive, shoegoo vapors are harmful and should be applied outside. Also, be sure to read the safety instructions on the tube.
