If you applied the same glue from the same tube and had to wait ten minutes then it was a contact adhesive as mentioned above. e.g. Bostik.

If you had to mix the contents of two tubes (one thinner than the other) first, then spread/wait, it was an epoxy resin. An example of an epoxy resin is Araldite.

Cyanoacrylate (e.g. 'Superglue') works immediately on contact.

TBH, it's best to use a specific adhesive for the end use because a general 'sticks anything' like cyanoacrylate is a bit of a 'Jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none'.

If the rubber is a real latex rubber then rubber cement would prolly be the best choice e.g. the stuff in cycle puncture repair kits. I expect that it would be a compound, however.

After doing about 50-60 miles in my Terrocs the sole has practically worn away on the ball's of my feet. They were fine until last weekend, after doing 5-6 miles over and around Green Gable they seem to have worn away very fast. The rest of the sole is fine.

I've never had footwear do this before, I've emailed Inov-8 and they suggest I take them back to the shop where I purchased them. I've only had them for four months, it's a shame because they are best footwear I've ever used when walking, I just wish they were a little bit more robust.

I'll take them back and see what they say.
