Is the sole worn away at the welt, or just separated? Get some Bostik contact adhesive, rough up the inner surfaces with sandpaper to remove the dirt and apply a layer of glue. Let it dry. Apply another two layers. You want the glue absorbed into the leather and still tacky on top. Then press the laters together and apply pressure. Use some pliers (like for removing nails) to pinch along the welt and apply lots of pressure to get it stuck strong. Leave it a day before wearing. Don’t wear in the rain.

I picked up these Grensons for my wedding four years ago. I have only worn them a handful of times but they got soaked once in the rain. The sole is coming away, what would you guys do? Take them back to grenson? Or just take them to a high street shoe repairer.
