It wasn't a true story, it was an urban myth. Me and my mates ripped off all the soles on ours when they were fucked up. Nothing but dry, hard glue
Same urban myth as the Phillip Morris/Marlboro were racist, remember, the one about the fag packet with KKK(thre sides of the packet), OroblJew(Marlboro turned upside down)
True that it was a rumour you bellsniff.
