SirCranksalot Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 My felt sole came off the front half of 1 boot this AM. I limped around in it for a while, but not a good solution!. Any special way to reattach it? Contact cement, possibly? Thx
NAW Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) What kinds of boots are they? If they are expensive boots, and worth the repair, then get them fixed. If they're el'cheapo boots, then toss them, and get new ones. There are lots of shoe/boot repair places around that can put a new sole on them for you. I have glue soles back on boots before using this stuff. I love it, use if for lots of things around the house. http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/sg_g_tube/overview/Loctite-Super-Glue-Gel.htm Edit.. Just make sure you test the matierial first. That stuff will eat clean thru some materials. (like foam) Edited October 18, 2012 by N.A.W
Twocoda Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 rip the other felt off and strap on some cleats....felts are terrible in the snow and winter is comming...
Glaucus Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 There is well documented scientific proof that felt represents a problem in wading boots, felt soles provide a perfect home for transporting invasive species. Get a new modern pair without felt, and ditch the old ones!
kickingfrog Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Gotta limp? Add a side winding/almost stumble going on and someone might think you're John Wayne, pilgrim.
