I know the polyurethane adhesive that came in tubes for gluing on 'stick on
soles' that we got from Woolworths was very good, but even if i could buy it
now, it was expensive for just a smallish tube.
Looking on some sites that supply to the shoe trade, I can see that they
sell: Neoprene cement, rubber solution, synthetic vinyl cement and
polyurethane.
Does anyone have an idea which would be the best bet, without it costing a
fortune?
I know that the polyurethane glue i used from Woolworths was very good, but
i'm thinking that buying a litre tin (which is the smallest quantity i've
seen for sale on these sites) might well all dry up quite quickly since my
rate of using it will be quite slow.
Thanks for any help.
Evostik traditional solvent based contact adhesive is the dogs bollocks
for this.

I don't mean to take the p but did you possibly mean Shoe Goo? (See eg

If so I swear by it for repairs to all sorts of things (soles, heels,
rucksacks, tool rolls etc etc) but I wouldn't turn to it for sticking
soles on.

I have a pair of insulated boots whose soles detached a couple of years ago.
I simply put them back on using ordinary contact cement, and they've been fine
ever since.
