I mentioned I in the how are you topic but thought I'd post an update here where it won't get lost.
OH had knackered wellies so after googling I found out about "Stormsure" glue. Ordered some & gave it a try & she's now very pleased to have totally dry feet so I call it a success!
It's pretty viscous/sticky stuff so hard to do neatly (at least on a first attempt) but there are youtube videos showing what it can do so worth a watch if interested.

Appreciate this. Starting to collect repair/renewal items that will help with the longevity of the clothes I wear and the things I use - this is going on my shopping list!
Poundland have a flexible glue called fantastic elastic, I bought a tube of it on the off chance it would be handy, it's actually really good, quite gooey to use, needs squeezing onto a bit of cardboard and stirring with a matchstick really but it bonds well and dries to a rubbery texture. Dries clear as well.
I have so far used it to fix the corner of my iPad cover where the leather was coming apart and to glue a bit of one of my Chelsea boots where the sole was starting to come away a bit and I'm pretty impressed to be honest.
If you're passing grab a tube as you can't go wrong for a quid.
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.

Thanks for the pointer, sounds handy stuff, I'll need to make an astute investment.

Awesome! I will be getting some repair glue in the next couple months once my shoes get to the point they probably need it.
Being a prepper wouldn't you get some to keep ready /before/ you need it?
