In reply to blurty:
I am a big fan of Shoe Goo, accept no substitutes.
However, on a Skye trip, I repaired some wet leather boots with a ripped off sole, with Araldite given by a Danish lad staying at the Glenbrittle hut.
Amazingly the repair has lasted 13 years.
The bad news is that I bought some Araldite in the UK, so impressed was I by the repair, unfortunately the UK stuff did not work as well as Shoe Goo for me. May be different types of Araldite available.
