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.
