Cycling Shoe Sole Separation Fixable?
Quote | Reply
One of the soles of my cycling shoes just separated from the uppers starting from the front all the way back to the cleats and bolts. Is there any way to fix it? Glue, adhesive, shoe shop fix?

Plastic sole with synthetic leather upper.

I would simply prefer to buy some new shoes, but I live in South América. And my shoe size isn't available in Colombia.

I glued a pair back together with some epoxy and I've been using them for about a year. The repair is unnoticeable.

I took mine to a repair shop, place that repairs shoes and leather goods. They told me they used some type of heat sensitive glue that was the same used in shoe factories. I wouldn't trust typical glue or epoxy to hold.

Gorilla Glue. The yellow color one that expands like crazy. Use lots of clamps to limit the expansion. If it is available in your area.
