Quick sneaker fix

Give your trusty sneakers a new lease on life with this easy Quick Sneaker Fix! Begin by cleaning the area around the sole and removing any dirt or debris. Apply a generous amount of Bostik Rugby Original contact adhesive to the inside of the sole, then use tissue to clean up any excess. Insert a toothpick between the sole and upper to maintain alignment and let it air dry for about 30 minutes. Once tacky, press the sole firmly into place—adding weight helps reinforce the bond. Soon enough, your kicks are back in action, good as new. ⏱️👟

Instructions

Step 1: Spot

Check the part of your sneakers that needs repair. Make sure it is clean.

Step 2: Apply

Put a generous amount of Bostik Rugby Original on the inside of the sole. Use a tissue to ensure no rugby falls on the surface as you work.

Step 3: Set

Stick a small toothpick between the sole and the vamp so they can air dry for at least 30 minutes. Wipe clean any rugby outside the repair area.

Step 4: Press

When the rugby has set, press the sole and the vamp together. You can also opt to put a heavy weight on the shoe such as a table leg.

Step 5: Use

Step out in your good-as-new sneakers!
