How to Fix Soccer Shoes With Super Glue?
Whether you need to fix a detached sole, torn upper, or worn cleats, a professional-grade glue will provide a reliable and durable solution.
How Do You Fix Ripped Soccer Shoes?
Shoe-Fix Shoe Glue is compatible with various materials, including leather, rubber, plastic, and fabric, making it suitable for repairing different parts of your soccer shoes.
Total Time: 20 minutes
Step 1: Cleaning the Area
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the damaged area of your soccer shoes. Use a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dirt, debris, or old glue residue from the sole, upper, or other affected parts. Make sure the surface is completely dry before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Applying the Glue
Using the precise applicator tip, apply a thin layer of Shoe-Fix Shoe Glue to both surfaces that need to be bonded. When repairing a detached sole, apply the glue to the sole and the shoe upper, focusing on the specific areas that require attention. Ensure an even application and avoid using too much glue to prevent messy overflow.
Step 3: Pressing and Holding
After applying the glue, press the two surfaces together firmly, making sure they are properly aligned. Shoe-Fix Shoe Glue bonds almost instantly, so there’s no need for prolonged clamping. However, hold the surfaces in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to set and create a strong, flexible bond.
Step 4: Checking for Excess Glue
Once the glue has dried, inspect the repaired area for any excess glue that may have seeped out during the bonding process. If necessary, use a cotton swab or a soft cloth to gently remove any excess glue without disturbing the bond.
Step 5: Testing the Repair
To ensure the repair is secure, gently tug on the repaired area of your soccer shoes. If the bond holds and feels sturdy, you can confidently use your shoes. Shoe-Fix Shoe Glue creates a long-lasting, flexible bond that stays strong, allowing you to get back on the soccer field with peace of mind.

How to Tape Up Your Boots
If your soccer cleats are coming apart, here’s how you can tape them: So, grab some heavy-duty tape and then come through the middle part of your studs. Come all the way around the upper again.
Then the second time you come through the studs, you want to create an X pattern. Come to the upper again and then repeat step one and step two, creating another X pattern.
Once you’re done, two X patterns on the back, finish off the tape at the top.
If you also have a rip at the very tip, you can cover this with a horizontal piece of tape this way and then add a couple pieces vertically to secure it in place.
You can double layer anywhere you need to and this should give you an extra one or two weeks before you get your new cleats.
