I got some Loctite Premium Line polyurethane stuff.  I was going to get some Shoe Goo but the anaerobic/aerobic thing changed my mind.  Polyurethane because it'll flex.  We'll see.  I wasn't raised to throw stuff away if it's repairable.  Hence Guzzi ownership of some old ones. :thumb:

I do not think this will work on shoes/boots. Not all  Polyurethane flexes. and I do not believe this will bond to leather and your midsole.  I would do a test place and see if it holds. Note from the Loctite site they say it does not work water submersion which means walking in the rain will break this down. Your midsole on the boot is most likely made from a plastic foam which will not adhere to polypropylene, polyethylene. This will also go on too thick and walking will break down the glue and bond. When shoes/boot are made the glue is very thin. I can take a shoe and put too much glue when I put the out sole back on and it will not hold. Put up a picture of this boot.
From Loctite site
"Recommended For
Bonding most common construction materials such as wood, treated wood, hardwood flooring, concrete, stone, marble, slate, masonry, brick, foam insulation of all sorts, carpets, metal, lead, cement-based products, ceramic, fiberglass, drywall and mirrors
Not Recommended For
Polystyrene, polyethylene or polypropylene
Plastic Tub Surrounds
Certain materials such as rubbers and plastics may have bonding difficulties; test before use"
Water submersion applications

You send me a PM or put a picture up on the site and I'll tell you if I can fix it. If I can and the boot is worth postage both ways, I'll fix the shoe for free. Cheapest postage is USPS priority mail in the smallest box you can fit it in.
Here is my lab. I do most orthopedic work and not a regular shoe shop. But I can do more that most shoe shop because of the nature of my profession.
If your loctite stuff does not work if may goo up the shoe surfaces the same way slime does to the inside of a tire. Good high grade professional shoe repair glue needs a clean dull surface to work.

Can you recommend a motorcycle boot that could be augmented 3/4" on the sole to 1" on the heel for the left boot only? I have Joe Rockets now but they don't look like they could be augmented...

You mean you need a raise on the boot because you have a leg length discrepancy?
Send a picture of the boot and I'll try and give my best from a photo. Better yet put up a url to the boot from and advertisement so I can look at it from various angles.
