    Try Gorilla Glue, available at most hardware stores. It’s strong stuff. greencreeper

    Use Shoe Goo for running shoes

    Tennis shoes? Use Freesole: hawkthree

    As long as its not a big problem, as in the stitching hasnt come apart, you can use Shoe Goo, Gorilla Glue or even contact cement.

    But I would recommend taking it to a shoe repair shop if they are leather dress shoes. If its a pair of sneakers, just try to fix em yerself. jeff the drunk

    Any squeeze-on-adhesive that is recommended for ‘rubber’ should do. ERM

    As said before by several people, there is a product named “Shoe Goo”. It is amazing. I have personally used it to repair several pairs of shoes. It actually holds better than the factory glue in most cases! You can buy it at Walmart or Target, or Walgreens or wherever! glacierwookie
