Of course, you will also need superglue. I'd like to share a simple life hack that will allow you to repair a cracked sole yourself with these two components.

3. After the sole is dry, sprinkle baking soda on the joint and then apply superglue and press well;
4. Hold the gluing point for a few minutes so that everything is well fixed;
5. This repair should be enough to allow you to wear your shoes for another 3-4 months. However, it should be noted that in rainy weather it is better to choose other shoes.
