Original Shoe Goo CLEAR - 110ml/3.7oz Tube

I am a very keen DIY repairer of all sorts of household items. Have used this fantastic glue to reattach soles to three pairs of expensive trainers; to repair and improve the strength and longevity of the grass collection box of my lawnmower (saving £90); replacing and reinforcing the canvas like material that supports the seat cushions on a twin outside patio swing chair; repairing and reassembling the broken hard plastic control panel of a twenty year old Bosch dishwasher, and extending its working life by four years;A simply brilliant product!

I wish I had discovered this Goo a long time ago. It would have enabled me to keep my sports shoes for so much longer. The product is very easy to use. Just follow the instructions. It is best to use it as soon as a little hole appears in the sole of your shoe, for example, to prevent it from growing any larger. However, I tried the Goo on an old pair of sports shoes (Nike) that had a large hole in them, probably as large as a quarter of an inch in circumference. As an experiment, I filled the hole and left the shoe to dry for 24 hours. I then tried the shoes, walking for approximately five miles (I like walking!). The Goo not only filled the hole perfectly but it didn't budge when I wore them. I have worn the same shoes several times since, over varying distances (5-7 miles, approximately). The shoes are perfect. I am amazed that a product like this exists. Just take care to follow the instructions and make sure that your finish is very smooth. Thank you for this lovely product.

To be honest we've never actually used Shoe Goo on shoes. We wanted an adhesive that was strong enough to hold something together but not stuck so fast that we couldn't remove it. My most recent application of it was to stick together two pieces of plastic beading that I anticipated I might need to remove without too much effort at a later date.The "goo" is strong and flexible and as you'd expect, a lot like a goo! It adheres well but may need a little weight applied to it initially while it sets which I suppose is as should be expected. The end of the tube is a little hard to keep clean and it does seem to have a definite expiry date to it but otherwise it's a great product and I can see it working very well on shoes for both the soles and the upper.

Great glue, does the job well. Good value for money. Mended several pairs of shoes

Used this to repair a jute sandal. Worked really well.

Bought this to repair a really worn cracked pair of shoes that my mum can't bear to part with. The moulded soles are not the sort a cobbler can replace or patch up so Shoe Goo was my last resort. The tubes arrived in a flash and I must say it's a positive thing to have the quantity in 2 tubes rather than a single large one, as all adhesives get quite tacky if opened, used then reopened months later. This way you're dealing with a nice manageable sized dispenser and it'll keep 'fresh' longer too. The seller considerately encloses 2 spare nozzles, a spatula and gloves which more than makes up for there not being a cardboard package. Basic instructions on the tube are easily augmented by checking the vast array of Youtube guides. I found lots of really great videos there to show how to use Shoe Goo for a variety of different projects. It's nowhere near as smelly or difficult to handle as I imagined after reading some reviews, although the videos and helpful hints like 'pop a little vaseline around the tube opening before using to prevent it seizing closed when you screw the top on'... I've successfully managed to repair two cracks across the soles of mum's favourite shoes and for very little outlay or effort. I was able to spread the Goo with the spatula to mimic the existing tread on the shoes so was happy enough with the look I achieved and like a lot of the Youtube vloggers suggest, used lots to cover the area liberally, which has given a secure flexible bond. Spreading a decent pound coin sized blob of Shoe Goo into the cracks and over some worn areas actually reinforced the sole nicely and strengthened the repair.I'd heartily recommend trying Shoe Goo and particularly appreciated the great price and service I received from this Amazon seller. Off to find some more projects now that I've discovered it's actually possible to repair such clapped out shoes...

Really handy stuff I always keep a tube in the home as its great for rebounding shoe soles its also waterproof so can be used for many different things inside as well as outside the house.

Fantastic product, saved me chucking a good pair of boots.I had previously bought a pair of waterproof walking boots from a "reputable" on line source, no names mentioned but it rhymes with space invaders, which were waterproof all right until the sole started separating from the upper at the front/toe area after one winter's wear. I had lost the guarantee by that time and was stupid enough to just think I had got a rogue pair. So I chucked them and bought a similar pair from same source at another £35 - £40 and , after one winter's wear, exactly the same thing happened.I thought this is getting beyond a joke; 35 quid a pop and only lasting one winter, and the boots were a very good fit, very comfortable and still in good condition otherwise, so I looked around for some means of repair and came across this.I just squirted some goo liberally between the separating sole and upper, clamped it between two bits of wood using a G-Clamp and left it over night. The result, a weld between the sole and upper again that you just could not pull apart and was entirely waterproof.So overall I am very satisfied with this product; it does what it says and has saved me 35 quid or more for under a tenner and I have got plenty left for other repairs. Thoroughly recommended.
