As Magnet said, not ideal shoe for it, but what they have done is incompetence, never going to last 5 minutes.It was a professional job. It was away for 2 months.

As its for foot droop that brace will be putting the shoe heel in compression and pulling the foam glue joint apart. It would probably be much better sewn to the shoe upper in tension, similar to a plantar fasciitis sock.
The glue the used is likely hot glue,thats what most trainers are assembled with.

My old man would have flipped out at the quality of the work do e on those trainers, he used to do lots of work for hospitals normally taking foot ware apart and adding in allow jointed parts so there was just a location point sticking out, you need an old school cobbler.It was a professional job. It was away for 2 months.

I just repaired a pair of DeWalt site boots with CT1. Restuck the sole on one boot only, that had separated from the boot at the heel and toe.
Squirted the stuff in, duct taped together and left for 36 hours. Seems to be holding.
Pity their riggers boots aren't so easy to fix.

I have just noticed this morning when putting wife's trainers on that they seem to have cut the complete sole of the shoe..........and glued it back on again.
See above...they have chopped the complete sole off.

Mueller Deluxe Wraparound Knee Brace - Firstaid4sport
What is the Mueller Deluxe Wraparound Knee Brace? The Mueller Wraparound Knee Brace Deluxe is a uniquely designed brace for common knee injuries and niggles. It protects unstable knees and allows an adjustable custom fit around the leg and using the cross straps. How does the Mueller Deluxe Knee...
firstaid4sport.co.uk
I was recommended similar for a knee dislocation. My knees have a habit of hyperextending too(nothing to the extreme of ukracer's wife's - if that's her in the photo).
I've just put the brace on one leg today coincidentally, as it's feeling a tad wobble and, on extension, sore. It won't stop hyperextension, there are just some fairly weak springs either side and neoprene to clamp everything in. But it, for me at least, gives extra support so I don't end up pushing the knee beyond a comfortable 180.
If your wife's was less extreme, I'd say worth a go but that level of hyperextension looks like it might need something with more framework.
I tried that renia ortec and it did not last.
I am now looking for an alternative that with bond rubber to rubber but also rubber to steel.

After I had my stroke hospital had an aid that attached to the laces of my shoe and then to a strap around my ankle to help with foot drop. Worked fineAs Magnet said, not ideal shoe for it, but what they have done is incompetence, never going to last 5 minutes.

After a bad accident (three breaks !), as a child, I needed to wear a metal leg brace for a long time (same as Forrest Gump). The shoes had to have leather soles and the brace attached to a socket riveted to them. Never had a problem with anything coming loose. Hated the brace though and whilst I have a modern one for my other leg due to an unstable knee (easily dislocates) I can't stand wearing it.Just the person I need
What's the best glue to use on rubber?
That's after wearing for 30 mins..
Yes there are many different types but as my wife has been wearing it for 24 years , she is quite used to it.
Its just keeping the shoe in one piece as they take over 2 months if we send it in to be repaired.
So glad I found this thread.
My youngest daughter, she flips burgers and chip baskets for a living.
Recently she has been complaining of her left elbow aching, narrowed it down to a rotational injury to the elbow.
Wearing an elasticated sock helps but gets uncomfortable as both ends roll up/down.
I would like to get her something better, not a splint but something that is going to give the elbow support, relieve pain, but allow her to work.
I Googled, there are so many available, as we believe it's a rotational injury, the wrong product might make things worse.
Anyone got experience of this type of injury and a good support to go for.

A physio session and some strengthening excersises. Physio is free on nhs if you can wait although in my area the times are short.
Its likely Golfers/tennis elbow and these sort of things are usually caused by excessively using the wrong muscles to make up for weakness elsewhere.

We paid about £150 for this one in March, Mrs had damaged her ACL and mcl, physio back here said to stop using it and try to walk normally. 
I know it might not be right,
But alot of motorcross companies have started developing knee braces to help with minimising injuries.
Yes they are a bit bulky but might be worth looking at even if taking a hole saw/cutter to lighten them.
Using the leatt x frame i think and saved me a few times already.
Don't like riding offroad without them now

There’s a guy I see at the Ma Bakers bike night, rides a big sport bike, but walks with crutches and both his knees hyper flex about 20° past the normal position when walking. I’ve not asked what his particular ailment is, but he seems to handle the bike perfectly well. I’d have thought he would have some sort of brace to assist his knees, but it appears not.
