Gear Aid Aquaseal + SR Shoe Repair

Good boots and water shoes take a long time to break in and a short time to wear out in the wrong spots. Aquaseal SR, formerly known as Freesole, is a urethane shoe repair adhesive that fixes separated soles, rebuilds worn heels, and creates durable toe protectors without a trip to a cobbler or a premature replacement purchase.

The clear, flexible cure is what sets this apart from standard adhesives. It dries to a rubber-like finish that bends with the foot through every stride rather than cracking or delaminating under flex. That flexibility holds across a wide range of footwear including hiking boots, rubber boots, sandals, neoprene water shoes, and work boots, and the bond is permanent on leather, suede, rubber, neoprene, and canvas. Waterproof and abrasion-resistant once cured, it holds up in the wet, muddy, and rocky conditions that wear footwear down fastest.

For paddlers and anglers who put serious mileage on water shoes and wading boots across a Canadian season, a 1 oz tube of Aquaseal SR tucked into the gear room can extend the life of favourite footwear by years. The compact size makes it easy to bring along on extended trips for unexpected field repairs as well.
