I've a pair of Meindl boots made of suede/nubuck/rubber, I wore them on Skye and they've taken a bit of a battering. The soles are fine and the rubber toe rand has protected that area but just behind the toe rand was a sewn seam joining two bits of suede together. The sewing decided that it had enough of the Cuillin and has departed this world leaving two bits of suede with no sewing holding them together. I reckon I could rescue the boots easily enough if I could stick the two parts together, I don't want to have them sewn as they are goretex lined.
To cut to the chase, can anyone recommend a suitable adhesive to join the two bits back together? There isn't any flapping as such as the two bits are still sewn above/below, but if I leave them as they are the boots won't last long.
And, yes, perhaps the Cuillin was not the best place to wear boots made of suede...
Worth it though

I've used shoo goo to repair winter climbing boots with good results so would recommend that

Use freesole, I've used it to glue back the sole on steel capped work boots, very durable repair.

Thanks for suggestions, I've ordered the seam grip and will take it from there, hopefully that will work.
