Step 2
- Generously apply glue to both surfaces of the separated shoe.
- Wait for about 2 minutes to allow the glue to set before reconnecting the sole.
- Make sure that glue is applied to every surface that is being reconnected
- When the glue application is done, press and hold the sole and the separated surface together in order for the glue to dry.

Step 3
- Clean up any excess glue that has oozed out of the split with a Clorox Wipe.
- Removing glue is much easier when it is still wet. If some glue oozes out during the drying process, it can still be removed yet it will be more difficult.

Step 4
- Stuff an object, such as a 1/2 filled water bottle or newspaper, into the shoe to keep its form.
- Stack heavy objects on top of the part of the shoe that is being reconnected.
- The sole of the shoe may shift when stacking the weight. Make sure the sole is inline with the shoe.
- Due to the shoe’s curvature, I had to place an object under the heal of the shoe to get the desired contact.
