Riding in the Lakes at the weekend and after going over Black Sail Pass and Scarth Gap my Shimano MT54 shoe cried enough and the Vibram sole parted company with the upper.
It would appear that the two are only held together with adhesive originally, has anyone successfully restuck a shoe and if so with what adhesive or am I wasting my time ?

Same thing happened to me with some Scarpa approach shoes, I got some shoe adhesive off of amazon which did the job. I rubbed the surfaces with IPA (isopropanol alcohol) applied the adhesive liberally, then wrapped some insulation tape round it nice and tight. I gave it 48 hours before taking the tape off, twice what they recommended I think.
That was a few months ago, still stuck now. Can't think what the glue was called. But it was proper shoe glue.
