Houston, we have a problem. Adhesive failure while wearing my Shox
When I started my walk, the Shox on one side were a little loose, but then they completely tore loose, and by the time I dragged them home, the other side was coming loose.
I am trying to decide what to do? Glue them back together (I do kind of like these)? Do a quick repair, perhaps with some wire to keep them from flopping so far, trying to keep wearing them as they are (not easy, the Shox keep flopping all the way under my toes as I walk), or tearing the Shox off completely and wearing them with no heels (as I've done with a couple of other pair of disintegrating Nikes.)

An update, I "repaired" the flopping heel with a piece of wire under it tied through the unused lace holes. That limited the amount of "flop" to make them wearable again. A most interesting feeling as the Shox units slip sideways out one side or the other. But now I see the sole on one side holding the Shox heel to the front of the shoe has cracked through, only the other side is holding it on.
I'll keep wearing them around the house like this, but think I'll have to do a more solid repair before wearing them outside, unless I must decide to let the Shox heel part fall off completely. We'll see.
