Did the plastic broke? If so, forget the glue and replace the shell immidiately! You risk too much.

Only the rubber sole (the black part) has detached from the boot shell.
No problem with the shell itself.

Ok, so this may lead us to a kind of simple contact glue. Try the one used to glue rubber to the boots (I mean summer shoes). When it is not enough, buy a spray can and apply a plastic adhesive to the place which needs to be glued. This greatly helps just anything to stick to the plastic (actually to stick to the adhesive, which sticks to the plastic easily).

Anyway there are some plastics which are unable to be glued. But even these kind can be painted with the use of this adhesive.

Contact glue can be found in Leroy-Merlin or Castorama, plastic adhesive may be found in lacquer shops (especially automotive lacquer shops). It's simply used to spraypaint bumpers (made from ABS).
