Shoe Soles

[adonirum]

Anyone know where I could purchase, in ED or relatively nearby,those DIY stick-on shoe soles that used to be sold in shops such as Woolies years ago? Is such a product still available? Thanks.

Timpsons in the little portacabin type thing in Sainsburys car park is where I'd start.

I believe Timsons may sell them.. Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill.

Don't shoot the messenger.. lol

Thanks ruffers/DF. Had thought of there, but presumed probably they wouldn't actually sell them as would want to repair the shoes themselves and the shoes are just an old comfy pair of moccasins not really worth shelling out big bucks on as might as well buy new, hence looking to do DIY. Worth a try though if no other suggestions.

Bound to be somebody selling them on eBay.

They used to be called Stick-a-Soles, didn't they?

Funnily enough I need something like that to stop my slippers slipping (I guess that's why they are called slippers) on my painted stairs.

Here you are. Just did a quick google and there's loads of people selling them. Here's one, free delivery:

Timpson's are rather more expensive, but may of course be better:

They don't sell them - my OH went in search of exactly the same thing last week. Will probably get them online now.

Thank you, Sue, seems like it will have to be Ebay then.
