What type of glue did you use? I am wanting to fix the soles of my Chaco sandals as the sole is coming apart. If you could give me the best brand I would appreciate it.

I was just going to post about fixing Chacos!! To answer your question, I use Barge Cement: it's a'contact cement' so paint both faces with it smoothly, wait about 5 to 15 mins to let it get real tacky then clamp it! I always let this and similar cure for 24 hours, if not 48.

My problem with (two pair) of Chacos is extremely quick wear. I don't get the popularity if I get a half of summer before the heel is worn down to the sandal body.

These instructions used what appears to be silicone glue, which will not hold up. What would be much better is contact cement. Barge All Purpose TF cement would be much better. I would also use a rasp or a small sanding disk to try and smooth the rubber before gluing it down as well.

I used the tread from a lawn tractor tire as it has no steel cords to worry about. It was easy to cut. I ground the inner texture off the tire and abraded it with a sanding disk and glued it on with contact cement. One year later and still going.

SO cool!! I’m wonderin' why you ‘filet’ the tire? Is it because the steel is so hard to cut thru?

I think usin’ a metabo, & a grinder would work …?

I like the idea of the tractor tire - but not sure what kind of tire you meant. The big tires have tread much too large. The front tires just have ribbed tread. One reason I want to try this is to have chunky tread on my shoes. I've got a good tire to start . . . has nice smaller, pattern deep tread, but having cut a tire before & drilled thru one (for different purposes) I'm wondering if I can filet one evenly!!
