HEADPHONES Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Old habits die hard. Back in the 80s as a teenager with limited funds and only 1 pair of trainers, I had to make them last out of necessity and discovered SHOE GOO. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shoe-Goo-BLACK-Adhesive-Reapir-Glue-for-Shoes-Boots-Waterproof-Large-3-7oz-Tube-/292928282055 All these years later I still haven't the heart to chuck out perfectly good trainers just coz the heel is worn. So, my favourite Air Max TN heel started life similar to this 13 months later they still looked fresh after a wash But the heel was almost totally shot on one edge. Sol a lightsandpaper to key then washed the sole. Applied the shoegoo like bathroom sealant. After a minute or two it goes tacky enough to shape with fingers and a credit card/stuff cardboard. Looks too shiny at first but after 1 wear it loses its sheen. The new heel wears down 2-3 times faster than the original but doesn't peel. Fit and forget. I've done this 3 times so far on these trainers. Originally for glueing split soles but good for heel rebuild too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
