Uh, definitely not. I’ve glued many soles. Very easy and cheap.

There's a difference between using some Liquid Nails to put a sole back on and getting your shoes professionally resoled.

Cemented shoes and boots, being those that are fused and/or glued to the upper in most cases cannot be resoled. Once the soles peels away, it's not uncommon for the midsole to as well which pretty much cements (haha) the fate of the shoe.
