Ok just pulled out a pair off 7 inch boots and some how the back off the boot at the heel has started to come away from the sole don’t know how only had them on once and back in they box

Just wondering if super glue would work to stick them back down or are they a complete lose and now only a in bed show boot and not for walking in

Any help would be appreciated as can’t get a nother pair as they complete out off stock and have been from 2018

I would not attempt to glue my 4inch heels let alone 7inches. Not sure if the cobblers may have a solution but doubt it.x

I have used gorilla glue on a heel and 2 years later it’s still going strong.

Gorilla glue is really good and I'm pretty sure it will fix your problem, I did my timberland boots a few years ago when the sole detached itself after decades of use.

Be careful with gorilla glue ... it expands as it sets, so leave room for expansion.

Alternatively, use a contact adhesive, its what they use in the cobblers. It has a very slight flex, so is less brittle.

Having said that, the forces st work on a 7" heel will certainly test whatever glue you use!
