    Isn't this the second problem you've had with Vans? Would you not just buy a new pair? Looks like wear and tear, and they're not particularly expensive.

    Yea it is.
    NOT EXPENSIVE €55 - €65 euro is alot for an unemployed 5th year doing the leaving in 12months

    55-65 euro is not expensive in comparison to how many times you'll pay to have them repaired considering how beaten up they are...

    Did you get the rubber glue stuff from amazon as recommended a couple of weeks ago?
    Presumably would save you money in the long run to use that as shoe repairs generally would cost 5-15 euro each time; maybe Vans etc aren't for you given the way the soles wear and the fact your budget mightn't run to repairing or replacing them, for example I wear Converse a lot of the time and would get about 5 years out of a pair, as they have a thicker and more flexible sole.
    (I know that doesn't answer your question directly but might be a consideration)
