There are many kinds of glue for wood. Generally, yellow or light-brown wood glues will provide the strongest joint.

Titebond is a general purpose glue that is a good choice. Titebond III is more waterproof, and has a longer "open time", meaning you have more time to assemble parts, handy for complex assemblies.

Elmer's White Glue (Glue-All) is nearly as strong as Titebond for wood, is more widely available, and is said to have a longer open time than Titebond III.

I just learned about Titebond Extend glues, which have an open time of 15-20 minutes.

Resin glues (Gorilla) and epoxy have longer open times yet, but have much longer setting time, so your clamps will need to stay in place longer - maybe 18 hours.

There are a lot of opinions on the subject on the many woodworking forums - just search for some of the terms of interest.

Will elmers glue work on shoes?

Elmer's glue is not ideal for repairing shoes as it is water-based and may not hold up well under stress or exposure to moisture. It can work for lightweight, temporary fixes, but for better durability, it's recommended to use a strong adhesive specifically designed for rubber or leather, such as shoe glue or contact cement. These types of adhesives offer better flexibility and resistance to wear and tear.
