Title: Fixed my soles
Post by: Goldberg on July 27, 2018, 03:51:59 AM: Always my soles are wrecking first. This is such a waste, because the shoe would be still great without the holes.

It already survived 4 hours of non-stop skateboarding.

Applied a 1 mm rubber-piece with shoe goo. I don`t feel a difference, because it`s only 1 mm thick. Grip is fine. Costs: 90 cent + a small amount of shoe goo. From the inside of the shoe i taped cardboard beneath the insole. Next time I`ll tape a plastic piece instead of cardboard.

Hopefully this will last a few weeks.

So, only inner tube patches are on the outside of the sole? And you applied it like on a innter tube? No additional glue, or shoe goo?

Post by: the snake on July 28, 2018, 01:35:40 AM: no, I cut them out of an old inner tube (a thick one, made for trucks), rubbed them on grip and superglued them
