I had a "shoe cleaning and repairing weekend" and finally got a chance to use Shoe Goo. I wanted to use this to help waterproof, and repair, a whole batch of shoes. Because I wanted to do delicate repair work, I bought some e6000 applicator tips so I could create smaller goo. And honestly, one should be included with each package. — APPLYING — To use, puncture the silver top with the cap, and squeeze. The goo comes out slowly so you don't overdo it, and if you are good with your hands it's easy to apply on your shoes. I used mine three ways: 1) sealed all around a shoe where the rubber meets the fabric, to help water proof it, and to keep the fabric and rubber glued together; 2) added layers of rubber to worn out bottom soles; I added three layers over time; 3) sealed any holes and cracks wherever they may be. This stuff initially cures fast; you literally have under a minute to scrape and make it look nice before it starts curing the way it looks. Learn to apply a little at a time so you know how fast this works. It takes about 24 hours to cure, and the packaging says up 48-72 hours for a maximum cure based on the materials it's goo-ed to and the temperature. Once it cures, it feels pretty tough and stable. If you wish, you could also layer on additional coats for extra protection and durability. — COLORS — I love having both a clear and black option. I used the black for my black-soled shoes, and the clear when I don't want it obvious that there is glue on my shoes. They both dry as a glossy finish. But once you start wearing your shoes and dust and dirt get on them, the goo becomes a matte finish and looks more natural. — SUMMARY — This is a wonderful product. It has brought old shoes back to life for more use, and that is what makes it worth it. Recommended. Read more

Shoe Goo works great to extend the life of footwear. Shoes are expensive and not made to last. Especially athletic shoes where the factory glue fails and the soles begin to separate. A quick repair with Shoe Goo keeps them working longer. Read more

Shoegoo Combo Adhesive, 2 Pack (1 Clear, 1 Black), Clear/Black Hey, this stuff actually works. I reattach my sandals back to its outer sole and mend a slight 1/4" leather tear along the seam of my Rocky boots. Use an ice cream stick to spread the glue, be careful and not get it on your hands or hair. The bond is super tough and the blk blends nicely with the boot. I can wear my Rocky boots in the rain again. As for my heavy duty Sketchers RelaxedFIT Memory Foam sandals, using plenty of wht adhesive, the sole remained attached no matter how many time I trip over over paving stones and outdoor steps. It no longer does the University of Florida's "gator chomp". Read more

My go-to shoe repair glue. Easy to use and creates a great bond. Very gooey for great coverage, I recommend using a spreading tool and adding some weight overnight for a good, durable bond. A wet paper towel for clean up and spreading helps. A very useful function to glue and add water protection. The tube is good for a set of shoes, any leftovers must be sealed up well, otherwise it will dry out and become useless. Read more

Even though it’s called “Shoe Goo”, it actually works on way more fixes than just shoes. For example…if you own a riding mower that’s more than a year old, the vinyl on the seat has pulled away from the frame exposing the foam innards. Until I found this product, I thought that I just had to live with it or spend $200 for a new seat. Well, if you put a generous bead of this along the frame of the seat and then clamp it every couple of inches, when you come back the next day your seat will be permanently fixed. Then you just use a hair dryer to remove the indentations left by the clamps! Great product! Read more
