Gosh, I have so many pairs of these from my younger rockabilly days, in every color and fabrication imaginable. I haven't worn them in well over a a decade. My favorite pair has Elvis' face on them:

Edward, you can purchase "Barge" brand contact cement to do the repairs on your shoes, even find it for sale on the internet. The trick to using it is simple, be sure the surface is clean as possible and use a clamp. use some "C" clamps if you can find one or two to help clamp parts you are gluing together, and let it sit for a period of 24 hours. Most shoe repairmen use that type of glue for soles and leather as well. My shoe repairman here in my town only uses this glue for what he does. Hope this can help fix your issues with the shoes.

Thanks! I'll check that out....

Cool! So... were glued on soles the norm, or were they ever stitched?

The ceeepers without the heavy solid rubber sole were glued on. I'm not sure if they were hollow, but certainly not spongy.

Could they possibly have come up with a more horrid name for these? They're a bit odd looking for my taste, but I can see why some folks might like them, but dang I wouldn't want to wear them just based on the name!

I could not have put it that well, but you and I are in agreement, sir.
