Glue the soles to shoes - this is how it works

  1. Clean the soles of the affected pair of shoes and let them dry slowly. Drying too quickly at high temperatures, for example on the heater, can lead to further peeling of the soles and the formation of cracks.
  2. Cut a piece of double-sided tape that is slightly larger than the affected area.
  3. Peel off the protective paper on one side of the tape and stick it between the sole and the shoe.
  4. Brush out any air bubbles that may have formed between the bottom of the shoe and the detached shoe sole with even pressure.
  5. Now remove the second protective paper and press the sole of the shoe on.
  6. Cover the excess adhesive surface with paper and cut it off with scissors.
  7. We recommend using a cutter knife so that you can remove even the smallest protruding pieces. Be very careful not to cut yourself or the shoe.
