Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between replacing shoe soles and gluing soles?
Applying a protective rubber layer to the original sole involves attaching a layer of rubber over it (to prevent wear and tear and improve grip), while keeping the original sole intact. Replacing the sole involves removing the old, damaged sole and installing a new one — this is done when the sole is severely worn/corroded/peeling off.

When should you replace your shoe soles?
When the rubber backing is worn down, loses its grip, cracks/rots, or peels off extensively and cannot be re-glued, it's a good idea to simply apply a protective backing. If the wear is only minor, applying a protective backing is sufficient and more economical.
Is it okay to apply 3M protective soles to new shoes?
Highly recommended. Applying 3M sole protectors to new shoes helps prevent wear and tear on the original soles from the start, preserving the shoe's value — popular with sneakers and designer shoes.
Is it possible to replace the soles of Nike, Adidas, or other sneaker shoes?
Yes. HD offers sole replacement/reattachment services for all sneaker brands (Nike, Adidas, Jordan, New Balance, etc.), selecting the appropriate rubber and techniques for each model to maintain shape and comfort.
Are self-adhesive shoe sole patches any good?
Self-adhesive pads only offer temporary wear resistance and are prone to peeling. For durability and a secure fit, it's recommended to have rubber soles professionally installed using specialized pressing machines and adhesives.
