Mending "jelly shoes"

[Ganymede]

I have a pair of jelly shoes which I use for cycling and one of the straps came off. Any thoughts on what glue to use to put it back on? It just parted company with the main part of the shoe, the strap is not broken.

Any advice much appreciated as I miss them - they have great grip.

I use this for slits in tyres. It takes about 24 hours to cure - but is a great product. Divers use it on their wetsuits and I think it will cope with Jelly shoes too.

I haven't seen Shoe Goo for nearly 25 years. I used to use it on my running shoes in the days when I could still run. Excuse me while I take a trip down memory lane.

Please remember to leave a trail of biscuit crumbs, so that you can find your way back.

Ta all! That Stormsure stuff looks like it might handle it.

BTW I realised that I had to crowdsource this answer as the person in my family who always knew what glue to use (and suchlike things) was my Dad, who sadly now isn't sure where he is or who I am, never mind what the current adhesive technology is. Mr G is just not a DIY kinda guy, in spite of his other excellent qualities. So thanks again.

It's a big gap. Realising there was no longer a lawyer in my family after my mum's stroke, multiplies the grief.

Sorry that came out wrong. I've had a couple of pints on an empty stomach and I'm not used to drinking. What I should have said was:

Buy new shoes you farking tightwad.

Mine are indescribably tootsie-frootsie but also bizarrely practical.

Look at Vivienne Westwood's and Melissa's Pat - the Melissa range is amazingly practical and just beautiful. Particularly good in summer when walking on grass!

Nay, I don't like to show my feet - too cold for it here anyway, and wet, even in "summer". When I said I wore them on the beach that was in Italy

Ah yes - thanks. I think my kids wore those for a while
