There seems to be a wide range of approaches to trying to glue materials which are subjected to a variety of chemical compositions. The general consensus was to strip off the base sole, glue the sub-sole to the shoe base, and sew the welt to the sub-sole. Then neutralize the material with several different types of chemicals, so that I can use the standard glue to finish the shoe modifications. I have listed each of the responses to follow. Thank each of you for your responses and expertise. Once more I thank Paul and his staff for the forum. I am putting each of these list serve messages since the onset into a data base search engine for my future use and possibly for use by those who follow in my footsteps.

We typically use Duall 88 as our primary source for glue. It works very
well if you will let it dry completely prior to putting any heat to the
material itself. A couple of layers never hurts as well. You can also
try using a primer of whatever adhesive you plan on using mixed 50% with
acetone. Making sure all surfaces are cleaned and roughed up a bit.
Another thing to consider if using a polyurethane sole is Gorilla glue.
It is designed for such surfaces that have oil-based design. Regarding
the Gorilla glue, you cannot neglect the directions. It requires the
mist of water to help set off. Just a thought...hope this helps and look
forward to the other ideas you receive.
