    Not super glue, it's too rigid and will crack off. I'd go with UHU or Bostik all purpose adhesive. It dries clear to create a strong, flexible bond. Follow the instructions; Apply a thin layer to both surfaces and allow several minutes to go tacky before pressing firmly together.

    I agree with kittiwoz, but would add that if you have, or can borrow, a glue gun, hot glue is probably the best.
    If the shoes are fabric, copydex is good, too.
