Bedrock sandals might be a new BIFL staple for me
Yea that's what I used! My shoe repair guy gave me some and just referred to it as "contact cement" but the can said "Barge" on it.

How can I stitch these back together?
Go to the hardware store and ask for Barge Cement. It’s what cobblers use to glue shoes. It’s like special rubber cement where you apply it to each side separately and join them after it dries some.

Sneakers or boots for daily wear.
Buy good quality leather shoes such as Red Wing, Oliver, Blundstone, and so on, then look after the leather with a good quality cleaner like Lexol and conditioner such as Bick 4. Use a horsehair brush to apply. Then when the soles wear out, fillet the tread off a car tyre (cut down to just above the steel wires - see YouTube for instructions) and glue it on with good quality glue such as Shoe Goo or Barge. That's how you make shoes that can do tens of thousands of miles and last up to 10 years with low running costs (pun intended).
