Hi all
I wonder if anyone's discovered a solution this this intriguing issue please?

As the mud has departed for a while I've been back on the Crank Bro's Mallets & AM9s ;~}
With use, the Mallet pedal pins at the corners wear a circular groove in the sole, entering at the cleat - heres an example that’s seen a fair bit of use
AM9 sole grooved by mallet pins
raising the pins more means it gets hard to impossible clip in, hmm
leaving the pins as is means the shoe moves a lot on the cleat as a pivot point once the pins fall into the grooves they made. So the mallet / shoes feel loses its solidity.
Short of new shoes often [WASTEFUL as the uppers are in great nick] have you guys maybe found a repair glue to “fill” the grooves that stands up to wear?
I have ‘shoe goo’ brand repair glue which may not be strong enough or stick well enough.

Thanks for any tips
Neil
