casaerwin Report post Posted August 13, 2017 I've been making lots of moccasins lately. I found out long ago that moccasins, as they are usually designed, with a soft leather sole, wear out in a very short period of time. So I have been putting a hard sole on the bottom of the moccasins I make. I make the sole out of the heaviest veg-tanned tooling leather I have on hand, preferably 8 oz. or thicker. But that creates another problem, because veg-tanned leather is very slippery. So I have been covering the leather sole with neoprene or similar. The leather sole is stitched to the bottom of the moccasin, but the neoprene is only cemented. When I was living in Peru, I used a contact cement that I bought down there and it worked pretty good. The moccasins I'm using now I made 7 years ago and the neoprene is just now beginning to separate. So my question is, what is the best adhesive to use to bond the veg-tanned leather with the neoprene? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
