shoe goo boot repair

[manky]

in a pair of Trezeta Alpinist, i was attacked by neve penitents that separated the outer rubber rand above the welt horizontally. no damage to the actual boot uppers. any thoughts on the efficacy of using shoe goo to slap a repair? any recommendations on shoe goo vs. shoe goo II? thanks.

Good question Manky. I have some approach shoes with the rand peeling... the cascadian couloir did a number on 'em. I've been thinking of shoe goo...................?

Use Barge Cement not Shoe Goo and apply as much pressure as you can without fucking the boot up - put it in a vise or drive over it with your car.

I use barge cement to repair minor peel-off or rips in the rands on my mountaineering boots. It is very effective. I use tightly pulled duct-tape to hold down the section which is being re-glued. I understand that this is exactly what a shoe repair shop would do.

I would use Freesole long before Shoe Goo. No previous experience with barge cement. YMMV
