Got my hands on a pair of 5.10 Impacts back in the beginning of summer 2011 used. Still had lots of life and great shoes really. Did as advertised and stick to the pedals great. But like most things in life use in the end wears things out or causes damage.
The winter pic was in February of 2012. I didn't realize till later when I changed out of riding gear that the left shoes was failing..the glue holding everything together was finally giving up. Of course this happens at a tight fiscal time. So what do I do? Suffer with nothing or find a solution?
At the time went by my local Canadian Tire and found Shoe Goo. And after a few days of slowly gluing everything back together . Was back in business. Of course this will start to fail a bit at a time, So one will have to apply more every now and then.
The most recent fix was a for a chunk that came out and use Gorilla Glue this time as it was in the back section. After allowing it to dry over a couple of day's. Back in use again.
Now this isn't a permament solution as it will either continously need regluing or will simply fully die off. Reality si I will need to get another pair though the best plan is to have a couple of pairs like I do SPD shoe's. As it allows the use to be spread out and not concentrated on one pair only.
