1. To repair the sole with strong glue for rubber is the most usual method to bring the shoes in order. Usually this is a temporary measure. If the front edge of the sole comes off a bit ("ask cereal"), clean the bonding surface from dirt and after drying, treat them with acetone. Usually at home used super-glue "Moment". Well established in the practice of self-repair soles epoxy adhesive (EDR), the sealant is "Crazy handles" polyurethane tool Desmocoll".

3. If leaky sole has a honeycomb design, when worn it formed void – heel fails, the shoes at this point becomes thinner. Lift the insole and thoroughly clean the honeycomb from contamination, glue residue and torn cardboard. Then you can fill them with sealant (MS polymer) and give as follows to dry. Cut out the shape of the old insole cardboard templates, saturate them with the same tool and stick on the sole, then install the new insoles.
4. Sometimes cell sole flows because of the small puncture. In this case, also disconnect the insole (if it is in order, it can only be done at the site of puncture).
