Gluing Carbon Shoe Soles

I have a pair of Sidi shoes that the heel cup has come off and the thread has gone where it is screwed into the sole.
I've tried using super glue and Araldite but with both of them the heel cup comes off still and have lost one of the replacement ones I bought.
Has anyone any other suggestions for what type of glue to use?

iv had same prob . i used araldite ,most important thing is to clean the surfaces your glueing,use fine sandpaper.apply glue then use some clamps to make sure it bonds,i left mine for two days that was last august and they have been fine since0

You could always take your shoes to the local Cobbler. I reckon they can fix it in for a couple of quid

I tried that in two cobbles and asked if they could re glue the sole to the shoe which came away after months of track riding (clip in very tightly) and they said they could not fix it.0 -
If they're broken after only 2 months I would argue they are not of a satisfactory quality or durability. Take them back!There's no such thing as too old.0

If you mean mine, they were over a year old and th elast few months on the track. Still would not have expected them to part at the heel though.DAG on a bike wrote:If they're broken after only 2 months I would argue they are not of a satisfactory quality or durability. Take them back!0
