Golf Shoes Repair

[golfman]

I have a great pair of golf shoes but the rubber soles on the bottoms became unglued. My wife swears that a repair job won't hold. I feel kind of bad throwing them out because the leather uppers are in fantastic shape.

Has anyone repaired their shoes? Did the glue hold? Where did you get them repaired? I hate to have the shoe fall apart while on the course.

Had different pairs give out and always worth repairing for the sake of 50bt, you can get at least another yr, and sometimes more , depending on how much you play.

Any decent Thai cobbler would have fixed enough golf shoes. Excellent one here in hua hin where the shoes come back sturdier / stronger than when bought new.

Thanks Longballlary,

I am going to give it a try. It won't be the first time my wife has been mistaken. Went out today with my tennis shoes and I know that a few of my slices were due to my choice of shoes.

My soles came off within a few wet rounds when I first bought them, had to use the laces hold them on! But after a trip to a little shoe mending hut they were re-glued and stiched and have been fine for several years now.

I had a pair of Nikes, made in Thailand do the same thing, the whole sole feel off, I s_hit canned them right after play, they were only a week old, JUST TRASH !!

Now I only wear ECCO shoes, never had any problems with them, for well over 3 years.

A couple of years ago I was given a few Nike's to try out and completely fell in love with one pair. I had 3 pairs delivered but evey pair suffered a punctured "cushion" in the heel. The two first pairs I sent back and they gave me brand new ones as replacement. After less than six months the initial three pairs and the two replacement pairs had all suffered from either a punctured cushion in the heel (3 pairs) or a sole that fell of (2 pairs) the way you described.

Expressions like a sack of <deleted> comes to mind...

I use FJs now - no problems
