For that particular repair, Shoe Goo.

Any impact PU adhesive will be fine. Just make sure the surfaces are clean and dry.

Liquid nails , and a C-clamp . Trim excess when it’s fairly firm

clean it out as much as possible...shoe goo is the best stuff for that repair.

Shoo goo

Barge Cement, it's made for just what you have.

It none of that stuff works I've try them all works for awhile until they get wet again although I never try liquid nails that sounds good

Gorilla Glue,clamp,wipe off excess with acetone before it dries

2x barge cement

Barge cement its what shoe makers and repair shops used. Recently repaired my grandsons favorite boots.

Barge is more for leather than rubber, none of my similar repairs that I did with Barge held up for more than a few days.

I just stuck on a delaminated rubber sole back together on my walking shoes with Shoe Goo. I had used it on my running shoes 30 years ago and it held up well if I remember correctly. The jury is still out on my current repair.

When I`m making leather stuff, I use this stuff alot. A little 4" tall bottle like this is about $6 at home depot

Before we go all overboard in recommending Shoe Goo, it might be worthwhile remembering that Shoe Goo contains Toluene which is very good a turning brain tissue to mush and Tetrachloroethylene which is quite good at clogging up your lungs.

E6000 or Gorilla Glue is what a cobbler recommended me. The E6000 is less messy and dries clear, I have zero complaints. I fixed a pair of boots few years ago, still holding through summer heat and winter snow.

Barge cement works great for this purpose

Barge cement has been used forever or glue on new soles.

The cement that is used in shoe repair and making actually comes in a blue and white can. It isn't exactly the same formulation as the standard stuff.

I have used shoo goo on my wife’s tenny runners for years. I clean up the rubber with soap and water. Dry it with my heat gun. Apply the glue and use a spring clamps to hold it tight.

Shoe goo is great stuff and smells just like the shoe repair shop when I was a kid.

the new formulation of Barge cement doesn’t seem to work as well as the older stuff. I’ve had poor results reglueing the toe caps on some Under Armor hikers.

I've had good results using Loctite shoe glue. It's somewhat more expensive than shoe goo but seems much more durable, with better bonding. It's made in Germany and is available at Wal- mart.

I like E6000 for a repair like that

If I eat a box of crayons I probably will get sick. In the same vain, don't shove the shoe goo up your nose!

I've tried them all. Go with E6000 and you won't believe the results. Shoe Goo never holds up as well. The rubber was peeling off the toes of my hiking boots recently. I tried rubber cement on one toe and E6000 on the other. Guess which one peeled off the next day and which is still holding strong, as always.

Shoe goo

? Dry wall screws :>)

Being a southern guy I’d try bailing wire and duct tape first. I once glued a pair of boots together with a two part epoxy that was made for rubber. Don’t remember the brand or where it came from but it lasted many years. “If ladies don’t find you handsome they should at least find you handy” Red Green

being a avid fly fisherman and tennis player you can't go wrong with Aquaseal,been using it for years ,use it on all my hiking boots and wading boots ,pretty much the best.put it in that big crack than use some tape to hold it closed ,set it on its side overnight.

Shoe goo.

E-6000. Used it for years.

Yep contact cement. I repaired a pair of mine and its still holding. Clean both surfaces prop open and put glue on both sides heat it up till its not tacky and then put together.

I see some folks found a use for the E-6000. I remember when it was touted on here as a fletching glue. So I tried it, what a waste of time not to mention 36 feathers.

I should be shoe goo or barge, but the best luck I have had with a sole failure is 5 minute epoxy. Didn't expect it to work or last.

Highplains beat me to it,, aquaseal is unbelievably good stuff, i used it on my whitewater cataraft nosecone, rock solid. You believe this, the nosecone takes a hell of a beating .

Shoe Goo rocks...8^)

Black silicone, from a "grease gun" applicator?

There are actually glues made by Loc- Tite and other folks that are made just for this purpose.

And Shoe Goo isn't the top choice among folks who do that

Just sayin'.

Aqua seal shoe glue or Loctite shoe glue. That looks like an easy fix.
