How to Use Shoe Goo

Use Shoe Goo to repair shoes with just a squeeze. It is flexible and waterproof and can easily match colors. When Shoe Goo is cured, it becomes flexible and waterproof. Extending the life of any of your shoes is easy to do. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    • 1

      Check out your shoes with holes, tears, damaged heels, loose insoles or those that are just worn out. This substance can repair leather, canvas, vinyl or rubber shoes and even adheres to metal, brick, marble and brass.

    • 2

      Choose a very well ventilated area to use this product. The temperature should be between 70 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

    • 3

      Clean the area thoroughly that you'll be applying the Shoe Goo to. It is suggested that you roughen the surface with something such as sandpaper.

    • 4

      Apply a squeeze to the surface and allow it to set for 2-10 minutes before putting the surfaces together. Make sure you fit in place the first time because there is a permanent bond that forms immediately.

    • 5

      Let dry for at least 24 hours and then test. The drying time varies based on the material and temperature, but the average is from 24 to 72 hours.

Tips & Warnings

  • Clean the tip of the tube so you are able to use it again. Petroleum jelly can be applied to the cap for opening ease.

  • Paint thinner can remove uncured Shoe Goo residue easily.

  • To assist in drying time, apply the heat of a hair dryer and set on low speed.

  • Do not use on Styrofoam or any other items that may come in contact with food or drinking water.

    I've been using shoe goo to keep my favorite pair of Fallens going for months. I have to share this knowledge that I discovered through trying various things to spread the goo around, from metal, plastic spatula type tools to ice cubes to...the backs of stickers (on the right track) to the ultimate spreading tool... grip tape backing! You know, the slick paper that you peel your grip tape off of. What a coincidence, skateboarders who probably use shoe goo the most, also have at their disposal (or not) a perfect material for spreading shoe goo out. I must add that a directional tapping works much better than smearing. but do it quick before it starts to set. Once it starts to crumble its over.

    cool, this sounds simple and pretty cheap. Though, I have some Vans slip-ons with holes in the canvas on each big toe, will the goo work on something like that?
