After the adhesive cured I noticed that the areas around the adhesive began to crumble. I suspect Shoe Goo would be great for making certain types of repairs, but it is not really intended for making new soles.<\/p>\n<p>I went on a search for replacement boots. It is easy to find hiking boots, but not vegan hiking boots. Finally, I found a pair of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merrell.com\/US\/en\/Collections-Technology-Vegan-WomensFootwear\" >Merrell<\/a> boots that are vegan friendly.<\/p>\n<p>All of the reviews that I read stated the Merrell boots were true to size.  I ordered a pair from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.titlenine.com\/\" >Title Nine<\/a>. Unfortunately, the pair that I ordered was a tad snug.<\/p>\n<p>The boots were on sale and when I checked the website for the larger size, many of the sizes were no longer available. I phoned Title Nine customer service. The person I spoke with was quite helpful. I placed a new order for a half size larger, and then I packaged up the original pair for shipping back. The new pair arrived in a few days.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class='centered' src=\"\/images\/MerrellBootsIMG_2179.jpg\" alt=\"Merrell Boots\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When I slipped them on they fit great.
