Sneaker Sole Regluing Repairs

Regluing Separated Sneaker Soles

Sole regluing reattaches sneaker soles that have started separating from the upper. At our heritage workshop in Melbourne, we reuse sound soles and repair both shoes as a pair. Regluing is not suitable for repairing sole material that is crumbling.

Our Sneaker Sole Regluing Service

We completely remove both soles, clean away old glue and prepare the surfaces before reattaching them with professional-grade adhesive. We always repair the pair, rather than just a lifted section. Send photos of both sneakers, their soles and separated areas to our team for a quote.

Sneaker Sole Regluing Repairs | FAQs

Regluing is an option when the existing soles are sound but have separated from the uppers. It does not repair cracked or crumbling sole material. We can assess sole replacement where suitable replacement soles are available, though these may differ in appearance from the originals.

Send photos of both sneakers, the soles and close-ups of the separation for a quote. Our sole regluing service covers the pair, not an individual shoe or damaged section. We assess the condition and construction before recommending the work.

We use professional-grade adhesive and prepare the surfaces by removing old glue, but we do not guarantee the longevity of this repair. How well it lasts depends on the age, condition and original construction of your sneakers.

Our sole regluing service involves completely removing and reattaching both soles, even when separation is only visible at a toe or heel. We always repair the pair, cleaning away the old adhesive before securing the soles again.

Yes, regluing reuses your existing soles when they are sound enough for the repair. It is different from resoling, which replaces the soles. Suitability depends on their condition and construction; retaining the original soles does not guarantee how long the repair will last.

We also offer sneaker cleaning, colour restoration and de-yellowing where suitable. Let us know which treatments you would like when sending photos so we can quote for the requested work. Results depend on the materials and damage, and cleaning alone may not resolve every area of discolouration.

My 7 year old boots came back better than brand new with a goddamn free polish and buff that I absolutely should've been charged for ... it took about week and it was well worth it. Highly, highly recommend. And they're lovely folks, too! Thanks Evans. I appreciate your hard efforts.

Evans did such a terrific job restoring my favourite well-worn boots, I barely recognised them because they looked brand new again! This place is first class, and super friendly service too! Happy customer!

Every pair of shoes I have taken to Evans are repaired perfectly. Travelling into Melbourne from country Victoria I'm notified when the goods are ready to be picked up. I am extremely satisfied with all aspects of their service including their wonderful repair & frontline staff.

We had wedding shoes arrive from the US and not the right color - Evans could not have been more helpful.

Strongly recommend Evans in the centre of the CBD in Melbourne for she Repairs! They did a superb job on a pair of vintage coach boots and we greatly appreciated the service, craftsmanship and appreciated the boots being placed into a lovely linen bag, which will be used for travel. Thank you for amazing service and for being open on the weekend for ease of pickup! 😃

My two pairs of RM Williams are 15 years old and you guys made them new again. The leather restoration and new soles will give these life for another 15. Thank you 🤩

The staff were amazing and went above and beyond for me, especially when I needed a rush order! I purchased brand new Amina Muaddi shoes that needed the sling backs adjusted and they now fit like a glove! Couldn’t be happier, thank you so much again!

Absolute best service, Milly was so lovely and honest about my boot repairs, and whether it was worth doing one pair I wasn’t sure about. They did fix my long suede leather boots with new heel-soles, boots look better than brand-new & at a very reasonable price. Can’t recommend highly enough, thank you!!
