The carbon fibre sole looks fine. Looks like the glue just failed or got dissolved away. I'm sure it will work fine again with a bit of fresh glue.

If you want to go waterproof and possibly build up additional layers of material where the rubber/plastic has been worn away, I think Shoe Goo might be good.

If you just want to repair, Selley's Shoe Glue will probably work.

My old DMT's have the carbon sole coming away at the heel a bit, but since i've got new shoes i haven't bothered glueing them again.
