0:00
I got these shoes brand new from Adidas
0:03
website and just after two days of
0:05
wearing them some part of it started um
0:10
to go away here kind of the sole under
0:14
the shoe. So it's kind of important for
0:17
the impacts when walking or running and
0:21
uh the well I could probably contact the
0:24
customer service but I'm traveling a lot
0:25
so I don't really know uh what to do
0:28
where to go. So instead of going for an
0:31
expensive service these shoes brand new
0:33
from Adidas store where uh around $20 uh
0:38
I checked at some repair places they
0:42
asked for around $5 plus 3 days to work
0:46
which is too long for me. So instead I
0:49
will try the do it yourself method. I
0:53
got some special glue. Glue specific for
0:58
shoes and more super glue in 3 seconds.
1:00
So, we'll see if that works. I also got
1:03
some gloves to protect my hands up from
1:06
the glue. So, I start by opening the
1:09
gloves. And this solution cost only a
1:12
few dollars and some wipes to try to
1:15
clean the shoe. I try to do it
1:19
fast and quick. It's not really really
1:21
important. Uh I I can walk without it,
1:25
but I will try this short repair and see
1:29
if that works. A few dollars repair for
1:32
the shoe soul. So, let's start by trying
1:36
to clean this at least a little because
1:39
I did walk with this shoe after
1:44
the sole went out. So, let's clean as
1:47
much as possible. Of course, it will not
1:49
be perfect. You probably need some
1:55
cleaning products to really have a good
1:57
result and also to have the glue really
1:59
sticking to it. So, first we'll clean a
2:02
little, then we'll try to dry it a
2:05
little and see if that works. All right.
2:09
It's not perfect, but it does get a good
2:12
amount of dirt out. Let's get a new wet
2:20
and try to clean even more.
2:23
Okay, it's actually quite good result.
2:27
It was not so dirty under the shoe
2:30
because I did not walk much with them
2:35
So, this small cleaning
2:45
Okay. And I probably need something dry
2:50
to dry it. And now try to clean this
2:57
So I don't know what happened, but it
2:59
really started going off after just a
3:03
few kilometers walked with this new
3:08
And I completely removed it because it
3:12
impractical. Uh half of it was going out
3:16
and at each step I had issues. So
3:19
definitely not possible to do any spots
3:22
that way. All right, that should do it
3:28
That should do it. Now let's try to find
3:31
something more dry to dry it even
3:35
further. So, I will probably take some
3:38
toilet paper because that's all I have
3:41
here in my hotel room. Just for context,
3:43
I'm traveling. I don't really have time
3:45
to go to service. I need this shoe. I
3:49
don't have so many shoe in my luggage.
3:51
So, yeah, let's try it a little, but
4:12
it's ready. Dry enough.
4:16
Okay, now let's check what to do with
4:18
the super glue. I have I took some
4:21
gloves because I don't want to
4:24
accidentally glue my hands, my fingers
4:28
together. So in case something happens,
4:32
the gloves will be glued and not my
4:35
fingers. At least that's the idea. So
4:38
here we go. Some very cheap gloves. It
4:42
uh half a dollar gloves. And we have a
4:45
half dollar super glue that should work
4:48
in 3 seconds. So let's check it. We have
4:57
And here we go. Oh, we have
5:00
uh Okay, I don't know what's on that.
5:03
Yeah, this is dry already. We can
5:05
already try the solution. So, let's
5:07
check the instructions. Protect the work
5:09
area. Okay. Remove glue tub from case.
5:14
Okay. Insert pin in tip of tube.
5:25
One drop per square inch.
5:28
All right. So, let's open this.
5:36
Ah, here we go. So, this is open. And
5:40
here we have the blue. They say one drop
5:42
per square inch. So, here.
5:48
Now, first we have to open with this. I
5:52
yes, I pushed it strong on the ending of
5:57
this tube and I heard the clip. It
6:00
should be good. And now, yes, it's
6:01
coming out. So, here, one drop, one
6:03
drop, one drop, one drop, one drop, one
6:06
drop. One drop per square inch.
6:12
So, I put a few drops
6:17
and there. Here we go.
6:21
All right. Please shoot. Don't move. And
6:25
I think it should be on both surfaces.
6:33
Okay. On one side. Only on one side. And
6:35
now join the parts and press for 30
6:37
seconds. Okay. Let's close this.
6:42
Now take this part, the sole that went
6:49
right where it should. Here we go. Like
6:52
this. Oh, it's not so easy to
7:01
Okay. And now hold for 30 seconds. I am
7:11
And let's come to 30. One. 2 3 4
7:42
21 22 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
7:53
29 30 seconds and I managed to not glue
7:59
my hands with it. Okay, result looks all
8:04
right. Let's compare to the control shoe
8:06
which did not have this issue. I'm not
8:09
sure if I really put the sole perfectly
8:11
in place, but it's good enough. And I
8:13
can see what is the issue. It's not
8:15
actually cut properly.
8:18
So I'm not sure if it's very visible,
8:20
but the sole is little bigger than it
8:24
should. So that's probably what caused
8:26
the issue in the first place while
8:27
walking. So was not maybe very high
8:31
quality from Adidas, but it seems to
8:33
stay in place. So I will take these
8:35
shoes for a walk now and we'll see what
8:38
happens. But yeah, when we compare both
8:40
shoes, we can see that one is clearly
8:43
sticking out while the other that did
8:46
not have this issue is fine. So anyway,
8:48
we did this DIY repair for just a few
8:52
bucks. Uh self glue the sole that was
8:56
going out out of a brand new pair of
9:00
shoe. Again, it's not a knockoff. It's a
9:02
real pair of shoe ordered from the uh
9:06
from the official website. So, it's a
9:09
it's a real shoe and uh yeah, that's
9:11
unfortunate, but I had to contact
9:13
customer service, get the replacement
9:15
part, repair everything. It would take
9:17
much longer. So, here is a very simple
9:20
repair that just took a few seconds. So,
9:23
good luck with your own
9:25
uh repair. And uh if you enjoy for sport
9:29
uh good luck with your sport training.
