Shoe GOO 110212 Adhesive, 3.7 fl oz, Black

This is the best shoe glue I have ever used. Perfect workable glue and dries very well

I've used Shoe GOO for years to extend the life of my otherwise-good shoes. It really works! It's durable, it adheres well with adequate surface prep, and it does in fact keep the shoes going. Surface prep is important: I always clean the area to be covered with a cloth and isopropyl alcohol, then let it dry before applying. Shoe GOO is *sticky* and can be messy. I apply in small areas only. I've found the absolute best way to shape it is to put on the amount I need, then smooth it with a well-licked finger. ShoeGOO doesn't stick to saliva. (I know, yuck, right? But it works.) With these tricks, it's easy to get a useful layer where you want it. My biggest gripe was that the original, clear ShoeGOO turned brownish-yellow and looked bad. This new BLACK version addresses my biggest gripe.

Used those GOO to repair the rubber sole on my work boots. Worked great and seems to be holding up well.

Think black tar that's a little bit too drippy. This is very messy stuff you must wear gloves like surgical medical latex gloves or something like that. When you squeeze it out it will seem to drip and you will worry that it will drip all over but it won't it becomes a gel almost immediately and then you can shape it but it's still messy when you shape it it doesn't drip at that point. You'll be glad you use the gloves. Also put paper towel or newspaper underneath whatever you're working on because you are going to get it on the table. Keep it off your clothing you might want to wear an apron. Best to do it in the garage. Don't swear while you use it it's doing the best it can. I did the back heels of my rain boots and you can see it came out excellent. The back of the heels had worn off unevenly and now they're perfectly good again. It dries similar to the feeling of a car tire. Not I'd like plastic but rubbery like the rubber of a running shoe soul. It dries with a shiny black surface so you should know that. Don't lose the cap to the tube. I'm glad I got it I will use it on other shoes in the future that have black soles. I'm glad I did it the right way with plenty of newspaper on the ground and with latex gloves my hair tied back and an apron on. Good lighting is essential. If you take shortcuts about using this you will be sorry. If you don't you will be very pleased with your results. See photos

does the job!

Great Product. Used for years, and always works extending life of running shoes.

This stuff can glue or seal anything! Worked great on my wife’s shoes and then I fix a leak on our inflatable hot tub

I am so thankful for this stuff! I have a pair of black booties with a thick, chunky heel that are my absolute favorite shoes ever. I even own them in brown because I love the style that much. After I got home one night, I noticed the heel was separating from the shoe. I was devastated and quickly went to the website where I originally purchased my shoes to see if the style was still being sold. It wasn't. I frantically searched online to see if there were any similar styles in my price range that could replace my favorite shoes. Nope. Wasn't finding anything. Yes, I know, this is a classic case of a first world problem, but I was not ready to let go of my favorite heels just yet. Then I thought, maybe there's some kind of glue that will fix it? I rolled my eyes at myself because I really didn't think there was any type of glue that would repair a shoe - at least not for very long. I searched anyway, and stumbled upon Shoe Goo. After reading the great reviews and noting the price, I purchased a tube, not expecting much. A few days later, my Shoe Goo arrived. I was excited but was trying not to get my hopes up in case my heel couldn't be repaired. I followed the instructions and glued the chunky heel back to the bootie, and put the end of a small hand weight into the inside heel of the shoe so that it would have some weight pressing down on it as the glue cured. I waited a week before wearing my shoes out, mostly because I didn't have anywhere to go that I felt like wearing heels. The first time I wore my shoes out since using the Shoe Goo to fix them, I was really scared my heel would come apart while I was downtown with my boyfriend walking all over. I nervously kept asking him to walk behind me and check to see if my heel was still intact. Every time, he said it looked fine. After I got home that night, I inspected it more, and it's still perfectly intact. The emergency flip flops I had put in my purse didn't see the light of day. So, does this stuff work? YES. Shoe Goo saved my probably cheaply made, but FAVORITE pair of shoes. And because a huge tube of Shoe Goo is only $7, it also saved me from having to spend $40+ on a new pair of shoes (and $40 is on the low end). Time will tell how well this holds up as I wear them again and again, but so far, so good!

ursprünglich wollte ich damit meine plattentasche "flicken" in meherern layern, wo meine katze sie zerkratzt hat (nylon gewebe). das wäre auch gegangen, aber nachdem ich auf der packung las, dass man nichts damit behandeln soll, was mit kleinkindern oder haustieren in berührung kommt, habe ich es lieber nicht probiert. habe dann einen schuh, dessen sohle quer gebrochen war repariert. ein paar tage/wochen war es ok, dann brauch die sohle dort wieder durch. (plateau sohle von vagabond - vielleicht herrschen da auch einfach zu große hebelkräfte?) ich denke, mal hier und da wird sich verwendung für das produkt finden, aber ich habe mir mehr erwartet, quasi fast schon magie ;) ist einfach ein sehr guter kleber, der furchtbar stinkt.

Very good for amateur shoe fixing. Very good black goo. Dries well without shrinking.

It's a real good quick fix for the skating holes in your shoes. I tried using the skateboard after mending the holes with shoe goo and it is working fine. Wasnt sure about the shoe goo color and I got black. Would be better if they mention which color shoe goo they are sending. I was under the impression that only the transparent shoe goo is available. The product helps mending your shoes. Use an ice cube to spread it uniformly around the area, that way it glue wont stick to your fingers, also, instead of using your finger as a support to keep the glue from seeping in inside your shoes, use a tape. You can remove it once it the glue dries. Ideally 12 hours of drying is required.

Great product

Came on time and in good condition
