Quick fix for old cycling shoes??

[Tjommies]

Hi all

My 5 month old Shimano cycling shoes came loose at the stitching. Took it to LBS and they had to send it to JHB and I will only get it next week.  My trusty old pair (which I only spin in, has come loose at the sole (spinning too hard).  We are doing 160 km on Sat & 110 km on Sun  (training for DC).  I cannot miss the ride and will have to go with shoes that has come loose at the sole.  Can't take it to shoemaker as glue will need a couple of days to set.  Any recomendations on what I can do with the old pair?

Go buy a pair of Sidi's! My old MTB pair have been used since 1998, and nothing (no stiching, buckles or anything else) has ever given me a single problem!!

glue works fine

Try Pratley Wondafix. It's a 2-part adhesive formulated to remain flexible and is specifically indicated for, among other applications, shoe repair.

I used it a few years ago on my cycling shoes when the sole began separating and it gave them a couple of years more life. Be warned: it dries to an ugly caramel colour, so you'll lose style points.

I bought it at Game, I think.

I repaired running shoes (I did various half marathons with them and still wear them in the garden) and my old Shimano cycling shoes that got damaged after a fall with these. Works wonderfull..... heck, who cares about style, charcter counts much more than "style"

Take some duct tape and cable ties along just in case. Or if you have them use your MTB shoes.

Pratley Wondafix also comes in black "for automitive repairs", but is the same stuff.

clean it up nicely, use neoprene cement, clamp for a few hours
