Anti-Slip Rubber Replacement Shoe Bottom Repair Material, Black, 12.8 x 5.11 inch

After a few years my go to Birkenstock Zermatt shearling slippers were showing their age. While the uppers and cork foot bed were still in good shape the coated felt soles and shearling lining were quite worn with the coated felt soles wearing through to the cork foot bed. The shearling mats and wears quickly but is does not effect the use or comfort while the soles were a real problem. These are strictly for indoor use with outside use limited to stepping out a doorway to retrieve mail or a package. The Zermatt's are now also offered as outdoor shoes with canvas or suede uppers and a real Birkenstock sole. These soles appeared thin enough for resolving the worn sole issue without adding too much weight with the added advantage of extending their outdoor range and waterproofing the bottoms. After trimming to size with heavy scissors and adding Shoe Foo adhesive, the soles were clamped to the slippers. Super glue was used in s few spots where the adhesive didn't spread to the edge and the slippers were left to bond a a couple of days. On close examination they would not pass as a professional job but in use look just fine and will add years to these slippers saving a $100 and adding utility.

Saved the soles of a favourite pair of sneakers.Easy to apply. Will need good shoe glue.

I live in the Philippines, a nation where flip-flops are called slippers, shoes, and flip-flops. If you are searching for bedroom slippers you will be shown flip-flops. Not a shoe store or department store has bedroom slippers. Several years ago I ordered some from Amazon. But over the years the sole wore off on one and the other had smoothed down. Almost all residential floors in the Philippines are tile. Wall-to-wall skating rinks if wet or foot apparel with smooth soles are worn. I did not want to buy another pair of slippers so I figured for $10 I'd resolve mine.First of all, when these soles came I found them not as huge as some have described or shown in pics. This makes them a little more manageable to size & cut. They are thick enough that a razor knife might be best to cut them. We didn't have that so luckily we have medium duty scissors which worked, but with effort. Now, my slippers have soft soles which partially wrap up the sides so it was difficult trying to determine how close to or over the curve I wanted the new soles to go. Then it was difficult to determine where to apply the contact cement as we had nothing to outline the new soles on the old.Once glued on and allowed to cure I tried them out. They grab the floor like new tires grab pavement. I am disabled and amble along so I'm thankful my walker has kept me from falling from the soles grabbing the tiles. But I'd rather have that then slippery soles.The reason I gave 4 stars is because it would be nice if the new soles had like a pre-applied adhesive. You'd pull off the protective paper, align and lightly stick new sole to old, then stand up to get a firm attachment. Since feet splay a little this would allow the new sole to stick to the old wherever it touched with full weight on it Then the excess could be sliced off with a razor knife. If not this, then there should be some recommendation as to which adhesive is best for attaching to different (old) soles. I was unsure if I should use contact cement, epoxy, or Shoe-Goo.I actually think the new soles will outlast the rest of the slipper.Edit: I forgot to mention that the new soles are thick and, therefore, heavy. My slippers are slip-on and the right one is a tad loose so there are times, when I pick up my right foot, the weight of the sole causes the slipper to fall off. Not sure what I'm going to do but I'd rather have the slipper fall off momentarily than to slide on a slippery (no pun intended) floor.

Easy to trim with a sharp pair of scissors. Trimmed to fit and adhered with a strong glue made for shoe repairs. Working great so far!These nomadic sandals came with no sole, so this really helped and added hardly any weight to the sandals.

This product isn’t what it claimed. After the 10$ for it..and trusting that it is what it says it is, I had a local cobbler replace them on my high end kitchen shoes..First day at work I slipped and fell!Same shoes I’ve worn for over 2 years with Confidence, and this happens! I’m out 80$ for the superb repair done on them, top of the line repair at that, I can’t fault the repair man, but shame on you Amazon yet again

This product was easy to use, but it wears very quickly, especially at the heel.

Great! Renewed the life of my favorite slip-on shoes. 😊

Put these on the bottom of a slip. Worked great cut to fit!
