I have never seen that done before, I was watching it at work and one of the old fellas said his Dad used to do that for them when they were kids,
then he said I still have the shoe horn I think if I can find it you can have it,
So I will take him up on that, he also said his Dad had an anvil in the shed as well, I said I would love that so he going to check for me.
So it was a great afternoon at work.

Shoe goo might be some alright stuff to use.
	Bring a compass. It’s awkward when you have to eat your friends. I love walking because it clears your mind, enriches the soul, takes away stress, and opens up your eyes to a whole new world.

Epoxy is not flexible, might crack
Contact adhesive would work pretty well and I have used it for shoe repair
E6000 is an industrial glue that is SUPERBLY strong and flexible and will probably work the best

There was a guy who walked around Australia in a Stormtrooper outfit for charity who used tyres to retread his shoes.
