worked well with traditional rubber cement peel and stick resole on my Bronco barefoot African rangers size ~9.5. I would show the photos but the max file size is way too small for adding pictures so I cannot. overall this cost me like 40 bucks vs a new 200$ boot so I’m very happy.
this is what I did. – Barge All-Purpose Cement
– Sandpaper 80 grit and 120 grit.
– Acetone
– Cotton swabs
– Heat gun
– clamps and boards
– paint scraper
– replacement Anvil soles
–
Use heat and Acetone to rip old sole off. be careful not to un-glue the rubber slip sole with acetone although it doesn’t matter if you do because it’s stitched anyways and can be re-glued easily (if you care to re-glued)
Get disposable brush for cement
Sand then clean (acetone) all surfaces to be glued.
Mark and align soles with old soles (I used a sharpie then cut guide holes through to the other side which I marked as well)
Apply glue in *thin* even layer, leave for 15-30 minutes until tacky to touch (I made the mistake of going too thick and not waiting long enough but it still worked out)
Heat both surfaces to 140° or so with heatgun
Roll down sole being very careful to not leave any air bubbles, press firmly immediately
Clamp between 2 boards using vice and vice grip and leave for 24-48 hours
