Otherwise I've found the best glue is to use Ados F2 glue. clean the 'wound' spotless and rough it up a bit with some sandpaper then spread the F2 liberally on both sides and let it go tacky. Then press the two sides together and wrap up tight with some bungee cord/ bike inner tube to hold it tight, leave bound up for 24hrs, job done. Also helps to hold the shape of the boot if you stuff it hard with newspaper before you bind it up.

Those kiosks in my experience are a waste of time unless you need your heels redone...

About 18 months old I would guess. Yeah I think I might go your way Hunty. Is that Ados F2 flexible enough? The area's of concern as normal are where the boot bends when on the back foot.
Thanks mate.

Seems to be fine, have glued a few flexi spots on boots and seems to last fine as long as you prep them properly before gluing. Also heating up the area your gluing with a hairdryer beforehand helps the bond. Good luck!
