Regardless or the material its made out of, leather, crepe, pvc or any of the other materials, the process involves removing the old soles in some cases, or grinding the existing sole down in order to prepare the shoe for a new sole. Soling materials range in type and style just as shoes do. Leather a long time industry standard has given way to the many man made materials like those found on rockports and the like.

Hole In Sole Of Shoe

I'm not a cobbler, but i have used one product for a long time that has done wonders. Shoe-goo. It's sort of like industrial strength rubber cement. Obviously it's probably not good for leather soled shoes, but if you're trying to repair rubber soled shoes it works wonders. I've also used it to glue soles that have separated from the shoe itself.
And though it's not exactly an official use of the product, I've also found that it's great for keeping a small hole in your jeans from expanding to the point where you have to throw them away. Just put a dab of shoe-goo on the inside of your jeans where the wear hole is, let it dry and the hole wont expand any more. It's added at least an extra 6 to 12 months to the life of some of my jeans.

If the actual shoe is still in good condition I would take it to a shoe repair shop and get the sole fixed. I doubt it would cost anymore than $20 because all they would have to do is glue another sole onto the heel. I would say its worth.
