Bootie glue

I want to glue some rubber strips to the soles of my Argos booties. I've tried wetsuit glue, it comes loose after a few uses. There was a thread (which I cannot find) a little while ago in which Mori mentioned a type of glue that I'd like to look at - something like a flexible CA glue..?. Any suggestions? Thanks

Marine goop will probably do it. Shit is bombproof

Same here. Rough up the surfaces with sandpaper or an abrasive, clean the surface off well, set the Shoe Goo in place, allow it to tack up a bit on both surfaces, and put them together. Put a little weight on it, but not enough to squish it all out. Wait 24 hours and you're good to go.

I tired to tell that to my girl when we got confused about "bootie sex" but she just didn't understand.

Re: Bootie glue

Aquaseal and Shoegoo are similar in that they are both urethane glues but aquaseal is much stronger and longer lasting.

The glue Mori recommended in the past is probably the AKA brand model tire glue. It is a rubberized cyanoacrylate (same family as superglue) formulated for RC cars. He carries it in his shop, and many serious hobby shops carry it. It's good stuff, good for gluing various hard to bond rubbers and CF fins to footpockets.
