The sole of my Trezeta plastic boots started coming off last weekend.
Does anybody know what type of plastic is used for ski / mountain boots so that I can zoom in on the correct adhesive?
Polypropelene? PVC? Other?

It's commonly used in medical equipment such as catheters.
Hope you're not taking the piss (l.o.l)
