Shoe Goo - Adhesive Glue - Clear - 110ml/3.7oz Tube

Excellent product, perfect for sticking soles to shoes... Easy to use, so far it seems very durable and much cheaper than going to a cobbler... not that I want to take work away from cobblers; I love them and want them to stick around... excuse the pun. But this is for very simple sticking jobs, jobs that a highly skilled craftsperson might find annoyingly simple...

I first came upon this item while travelling in the USA and although sceptical about the claims most glues make this one actually performs. I’ve used this to repair a pair of trainers where the sole had become partly detached from the upper and although they are subject to constant pressure, flexing and shearing motions this glue keeps the two parts together. Follow the instructions for use and after clamping the two parts together for about 24 hours a very solid bond is formed.

great glue or goo for shoe repair and lots of other things

Arrived safely and as described. Glue seems to do the job well from a strength and adhesion aspect. Looks to be a good sealant and waterproofer too. It is a little difficult to apply neatly, but practice helps. So do the not-so-important things first. Will now wait to see how the repairs hold up over time and use.

It worked a treat on sandals from which the soles were coming off. It is a very thick glue (goo is a suitable name!) so it is challenging to get it into small gaps. Sets hard in a few hours. Using a spreader helped but ultimately a finger was best. Small bits of glue on one’s fingers can be rubbed or peeled off but nail varnish remover worked well for bigger amounts. Note this version contains solvents unlike the newer formulation (I believe)

Works well every time. Useful for worn down soles in trainers and boots as well as a glue. Relatively expensive but worth it.

I was pleased when i first applied this to the soles of a pair of cracked trainers, however, once worn, the soles wear again quickly and need repeated application. I guess this would be good for small breaks but it is not a permanent treatment.

This is the strongest glue I’ve found.
