The inside heel came out of my Solovairs (Docs) and I am unsure the best way to secure it inside my boot again.
For the most part it is not a big deal, but it does get annoying when it slides out under my foot.
I thought maybe shoe goo, but I think that may be too permanent (and messy).
GP glue is good for all things leather
its that old school, get high if you smell it too long stuff
Few dabs of clear gorilla glue (not the super glue, not the foaming stuff either) will do it. Remember to wipe with a damp rag first. Make sure to slide it around to even it out. Then get ya some good boot insoles. Those make life better!
I'd glue it but if I expected to remove it again I wouldn't use a lot of glue
A lot of stuff I DIY, but I don't mess with shoes (been working on my feet all my life), and a good cobbler is worth it, not just because of the expertise, but because its something that can't get enshitified this day and age and like supporting them.
I'd use the shoegoo.
decent (sort of thick gel type) double sided tape might hold for (guess) a few thousand steps.
Goop.
They make a version for shoes, but I'm pretty sure all the versions are the same.
Nice thing about Goop is the removeability - since it's like a really thick rubber cement, you just peel it off.
I've glued shoe soles back on with it.
Edit: Looks like they don't make a shoe version, but the regular works well for shoes.
The marine version has an additive for UV.
