Car tyre sounds good. Maybe old bike tyres are more convenient and would work though? I don't have any experience of hot glue, would contact adhesive be better? The glue that I've seen cobblers use looks like contact adhesive. They also thoroughly rough up the surfaces before gluing.

Almost anything is better than hot glue. Contact adhesive, or epoxy (preferably a flexible one) would work. As with any adhesive bond, surface preparation is key. make sure the surfaces are roughed up a bit to give more surface area for the glue to grab on to, and make sure everything properly clean and dust free.

How does Shoe Goo wear when you walk on it on a paved surface? I need to do something similar to some road shoes. I want to build up some treads so I can walk on them for short distances without putting cleat covers on. I always lose them. I was thinking of using layers of hot glue with pieces of car tyre on top.
