I have a tear on the underside of the foot. What kind of adhesive should I use?

you can order the specific repair kit for your doll color. It's $100
There are a few post where people used Silicone from Home Depot but they come out looking like crap.

Silpoxy for the sole of a foot is a way bit cheaper than $100, unless you have a foot fetish :)

My Brooklyn RD had that happen 2 or 3 times. I fixed it with silpoxy, though the seam was visible. I figured I could claim that she accidentally stepped on something sharp, which happens in real life. Real women have blemishes and scars, so why not a doll.

Not only real women
I wouldn't claim to be a clutz but my scars and blemishes didn't just jump onto me :whistle:

I think what everyone has to remember, is a very little sllpoxy goes along way. Use just enough to wet the sides of the tear and then let the molded form of the doll do the rest. The silicone will come back to the original form on minor tears. If you make an incision then use staples to close the wound..

The little silver pack of Silproxy that ships with her is perfect for fixing tears in the feet and if you do it fast before it gets worn you will not be able to see the repair. I have fixed the feet on my Sarah and i can only find the ones in the sole by touch as the repair is slightly stiffer

Also, if you keep Silpoxy, or Permatex, or any silicone tube in your freezer after using it to repair your synthetic lady/ man, it will keep fresh indefinitely, should you need to use it again.
