Someone wise once said "New shoes are ugly, my worn out ones are a beauty". Agree. Like real people, i keep wearing this pair all the time because it is wonderful.

Here, i have developed a way to quick-fix my favourite soles. It may help your soles too.
Duration : 10mins or so.

Things you need.
1) a broken sole.
2) the cheapest bicycle-tyre repair kit money can buy.

Any word on how well this holds up to wear? It's a clever trick, especially if it lasts.

it holds up quite good. the rubber last for 3 months or so ( i wear the shoe almost daily) the patch is mainly to stop the crack on the sole from opening up more.... but going to the shoe shop for a new sole is the long-term solution. : )

Simply awesome! I was going to fix my boyfriend's shoes today with some sugru - but it had gotten old and hard on us. I think I'll try this instead. :D
