My North footpad is peeling off my Nugget in places. Any recommendations for a good glue?

Shoe Goo

Used it on my Airush Sector & its held for 3+ years
There is an old thread on this - might have some other recommendations in it for you too

Contact cement is generally used. I expect that other [expensive] retail products work too.

Epoxi worked best for me. Contact cement not always for whatever reason.
