What procedures and what glue would you use to reglue uppers to plastic soles?
Noticed before that there is some cobbler expertise among list-members, and I have several pair of cleated cycling shoes whose leather uppers have pulled away from the plastic soles. On some it's the toe, some the heels, but about half the upper pulls away. In all cases these were pretty lightly used NOS shoes. No abuse, no rainy rides.
I could take them to the shoe repair guy who is expensive but does a good job with stitching repairs and re-soling, but this seems like it should be a simple matter of knowing the correct glue (?).
BTW, it was early 80s Sidis and Maresis that did this. Dettos and Vittorias never have, despites decades of hard use. Leather soles shoes never have either.

p.s. Thanks for all the helpful responses to my Simplex QR question yesterday. Now if I could just find rubber hoods for the Simplex QR levers.
