Original handcrafted Leather Boat, Deck Shoes
I need to glue a pair of shoes to a piece of plexiglass. What would be the best glue to use with the strongest hold? Preferably waterproof.
I’ve bought several pairs of shoes in the last year. This is a new problem for me. I bought a pair of tennis shoes for 12 dollars. After about 3 weeks, the bottoms tore open in a split that made my feet wet when I was walking on wet roads. Then, I bought a pair waterproof "hikers" for 20 dollars, the interior heels fell down after about a week, so I got some duct tape and filled the space inside the heels with that until it felt normal. After about another week, the heels on both shoes split wide open, just from walking and these were ‘hikers!’ I found a pair of hospital shoes at the local thrift shop for 4 dollars and bought those. I also have a pair of dress shoes I bought for 50 cents at a yard sale. These are the only shoes I currently have that don’t have cracks or holes in them.
Does anyone make a decent pair of shoes anymore?
My friend and I are going to be traveling in Europe for three months. I am only taking one pair of shoes (aside from shower sandals), and am having a hard time deciding what to buy. We’re not planning on doing a lot of serious hiking, but we’re definitely going to be doing a lot of walking and exploring. I have flat feet and weak ankles. I was thinking of getting a nice pair of waterproof hiking boots – that way I’d get ankle support and stay dry when the weather’s bad. But I’ve never had hiking boots before. Would they be uncomfortable to wear every day for three months straight? Would it be better to just get a pair of motion control running shoes (what I normally wear) and forget about waterproof? I backpacked in South Africa a couple of years ago and climbed a couple of mountains in running shoes, and remember really wishing I had hiking boots. I’m just concerned about the ‘every day for three months’ thing.
Any recommendations from fellow travelers/casual hikers/people with flat feet?
Thanks!
Specifically looking for ideas for a pair of shoes that are all of the following-
-casual
-waterproof, can wear in rain.
-comfortable for long wear: not a really high heel or anything.
-trendy, stylish
-looks good with black leggings
I suppose boots would be ok, but all of the cute ones are not good for rain. What about shoes? Any ideas?

Jenn- thanks. I couldn’t find it when I googled it. What kind of shoes are they? Can you post a link to a pic?
Here’s the scenario: I will be backpacking uphill through dense jungle and across savannah for 6 days. I will encounter slippery water crossings, so the shoes either have to come off easily, be waterproof or dry quickly, and also biting insects and snakes. I found these:

Are these a good idea? If I bring these should I bring a backup pair of shoes? Everything I bring I will have to carry, so I have to pack extremely light. Would a pair of flip flops be useful at all?

I wear a pair of sperry boat shoes with them currently but im looking for another pair of shoes that would be more casual or on the same level.
Im currently a college student now so I dont want to be too professional with it. thanks
I am currently debating to get one of two pairs of shoes. The Sperry Top-Sider Authentics and the Macbeth Manchesters. I tried both of thek today and i liked both of them equally the Macbeths were one of the compfertable shoes I have ever tried on and I really liked the Sperrys because they were really compfertable and all of the reviews say that they are extremely compfertable aftrr they get broken in. The Sperrys were and the Macbeths were but i wouldnt mind paying more for thr boat shoes because they are kindoff a mix between a casual/street shoe and a dress shoe. So both mature at times and then cool shoes the next. And I kinda want to get a pair of shoes that aren’t skate shoes. Which is what i have forn for years. So the Sperrys will he the first for me. Plus i think they will last longer. But the Macbeths are probably a much cooler and stylish shoe. Please help! I dont know what to do.
Here are thr pages of the shoes:
