NOT ONLY FOR SHOES! Will fix ANYTHING!!!

Despite its name, Shoe Goo isn't only just for shoes. I've used this on boots, sneakers, snowboarding boots, etc. It fixes really difficult and heavy duty shoe repairs where other glues don't work. Additionally Shoe Goo can be used for other repairs for things that need to be joined that need flex. I've used it for watch leather bands, phone cases, wooden chair joints, even car parts! Most strong glues like super glue or krazy glue dries hard and brittle. They're great for hard surfaces but not good for soft or surfaces that flex. Once the glue maxes out its shearing threshold, it snaps and the glue s useless. The wonderful part about shoe goo is that it flexes. The flex gives it strength to flex and not snap apart. It's also not a "sticky" glue. Most people expect glue to be sticky. As soon as you open it, you may notice it's not sticky at all. The key is that it takes time to cure and bond (I'd leave it for 24 hours). Once it's cured it takes a lot of force to really peel it off. I compare this thing to a cold, hot-glue gun! You'd be surprised how useful this stuff is to keep around the home! It's like a simple epoxy without the mess! The glue dries like hard flexible plastic or rubber and it's super useful.

This stuff is great!

I bought this for some shoes that I bought (ironically, from Amazon) that I love, but the first time I wore them the sole came off the base. Since getting this I've used it on several pairs of shoes and other similar items, and it just works great! If you need to adhere rubber, plastic, canvas, leather, fabric, or other shoe-type materials, this stuff does the trick and it really sticks. That's pretty much all I can say. Oh, and a little goes a long way, and it doesn't get all over and glue the cap shut. . . I hate that!

Does what it's supposed to do

This is the first time I've used Shoe Goo. I had noticed that part of the sole on my right shoe was starting to separate from the rest of the shoe, but needed my shoes to last longer. I had seen this in stores for years, but never tried it until now. So far, it is holding up with no issues. I still have some other smaller areas that I need to take care of, but feel those should be no problem for this stuff to repair.

and this stuff works great to hold them together longer

My kids have a knack for destroying shoes, and this stuff works great to hold them together longer. Keep in mind, the shoes will never be like they originally were, but this will help prolong the shoes. Do NOT apply the shoe goo indoors! The fumes are potent. I always apply it outside at night so the shoes can set overnight and the smell is gone by that time too.

Only now discovered how useful it is!

Wish I knew about this years ago - now I can repair my unevenly worn shoes in. The heel. In the photo you see the before and after. New life for old shoes!

Sticky, and workable, cures to be flexible

I received this item this week and repaired two different shoes. Dress shoes where the rubber tread was becoming delaminated from the leather sole, and work boots where the rubber toes had become floppy away from the boot itself. The glue had nice tackiness, and didn't drip away from its intended position. It remained workable for a minute or so before it started to set up and become globby. That enabled me to push the glue into the preferred position and prepare for clamping. For the boot, it became apparent that the rubber sole had deformed a bit leaving a gap between the toe and the boot leather. I softened the rubber with a heat gun, applied more glue in the gap, then strapped it tight with scrap piece of cloth to help it take the right form. We'll see about the longevity of these repairs!

Great glue

This glue is great. Thought I'd have to throw out my favorite sneakers. The toe soles were completely separated. I first sealed the sole edges with glue and dried overnite. Then glued edges together. Had to hold them together for 10-15 min. Dried 48 hrs and my sneakers are like new. Its now 3 weeks later and they're still good to go. Awesome product.

Excellent for many things

Not only for shoes but yes it is TERRIFIC for shoes. Easy to apply -- I apply to both the shoe and the sole-- let it wait for NO more than 30 seconds, then slap the sole and the shoe together-- sometimes using rubber bands around the shoe and sole-- and/or a heavy weight over everything, to keep them in contract. This is a long lasting solution to fixing worn shoes -- it is also a GREAT sealant/glue for alot of other Household needs. You'll need to cap it tightly to keep it from sealing itself into a plug at the top of the tube.Sometimes I add a little water to the inside of the cap to keep air from drying out the tip of the glue.

Prolonged the life of my most comfortable shoes

My sneakers are several years old, but I like them for their ultra comfortable fit. The soles have come apart a few times over the years, and I have made repairs with epoxy, which turned out to be temporary. The Shoe Goo repairs have lasted much longer, and I still wear the repaired shoes every day! Great product! A little goes a long way, so the smaller tube would have easily sufficed. Now, I have a tube filled with 85% of glue with no shoes to repair.

I'm Goo-goo for Shoe Goo.

Goos your shoes. Sof Sole, listen up. If you paired this with some sort of cheap applicator with crazy margins, I would've bought it without batting an eye. I've been cutting the cotton portion of a Que-tip off to use the stick portion to shove the goo under the soles. It works, but I had to use my superior dad brain to come up with this genius idea. And that hurts. Other uses: This stuff is so malleable once dry that you can use it to repair blown speakers. Don't believe me? Blow a speaker and repair it with this. It will be un-blown. But your mind, your mind will be blown. I successfully repaired a blown O-ring from my shower head with this stuff. It's held for over two months with no signs of letting up.
