Good glue for shoe repairs

[grayhawk]

I had to repair my Spot Bilt plate shoes several months ago because the metatarsel plate ripped off of the toe of the shoe. At the time, I used Shoe Goo and it worked pretty well but it started to come off again. I spent some time this weekend dealing with it and got most of the shoe goo off of the bonded surfaces and decided to try another kind of glue. One of the problems with the shoe goo was that it takes 24-48 hours to dry completely. So far, I am very happy with what I chose. It was this one:

It set up in about 5 minutes and it appears to be a very strong bond. It is basically rubberized super glue and is supposed to be more durable and shock resistant. Time will tell if this is true. It was under $5 at Home Depot.
