Shoe Goo - Adhesive Glue - Black

One of the few places to get this remarkable stuff in black. With excellent adhesion to all shoe and boot materials, this has fixed minor problems for years where soles start to part company, heels wear unevenly or holes appear where they shouldn't. I've also used it on walking stick ends, bags and cases, definately one to keep handy. Carefully clean all surfaces before applying, roughen with a blunt knife if a smooth surface too. For building up a sole or heel a number of thin layers applied over a couple of days is a much better fix than one thick application. Carefully clean the threads before replacing the cap if you want to get it off again. Finally ensure you have plenty of ventilation if you can't do the repair outside as the fumes are very strong and head fuggling 8)

Great stuff. My pair of work shoes had worn through the sole at the heel to an extent that water would get into the air pockets in the sole and "squelch" as I walked. The rest of the shoes were in perfect condition so rather than have to replace an otherwise perfectly good pair of shoes I was able to fill these holes and rebuild a heel portion of the sole to extend the life. This takes a good 24 hours to set, but given longer gets even harder and more resilient. The fix has so far stood up well to being walked on nearly everyday.

Great product to bring life back into tired soles. Flexible and waterproof. Remember to clean shoe and rough prior to applying. Always use product in good ventilation and avoid the inhalation of fumes as they are harmful.

My shoes had worn down on the heels and I was considering buying a new pair. But I saw this online and decided to give it a go. I bought the black version, and built up the heels in a series of stages; it sticks amazingly well to the shoe and to itself. Saved myself money and I've got loads left over to build them up again when they wear down.

You cab, of course, fix shoes with this but I wanted it for another purpose. If you're looking at buying this for shoes then, in all honesty, there isn't much point in you reading much more of this review, but thanks for your time. This stuff is basically like a thick, liquid rubber. I have an old Alfa on which the rubber seals which run along the top of the waistline of the door, and into which the windows lower had started to crack at the back edges. The part is no longer available from the manufacturer, so I needed to attempt a repair, hence the purchase of this stuff. It was a bit fiddly, but I have to say its worked very well. I cleaned the area then applied it, and I though it was going to look a bit messy, but as it dries, it tends to level out into a smooth surface. Its covered and filled in the old, cracked rubber and left a neat finish. Its a bit shinier than the rest of the rubber on the seal, but nothing that some black trim polish can't sort out and its improved things a lot, and reduced significantly the chance of water ingress into the door.

Absolutely incredible, durable bonding. Couldn’t be happier!

I used this for the first time, despite a shoe repairer's advice that "nothing works". But it has worked, filling various cracks and small holes in a pair of well-loved and well-used shoes. Not easy to obtain a perfect finish [smoothing with an ice block helped] - hence the 4, but it has stuck to the rubber sole securely and is holding. I am pleased I tried it. How long it will last remains to be seen, but it is always possible to add some more.

I had a lovely pair of black suede boots that I suddenly found had got a hole in the sole. I went to Timpsons to get them repaired and they told me there was nothing I could do. I looked online and people seemed to have used this Shoo Goo so I thought I would give it a go. I would recommend looking on YouTube at how people apply it as I found this really useful. I cleaned the sole and tidied up around the hole and then waited until it was dry. I then put a thin layer of the Shoo Goo over the hole and spread it so it extended around it. I then let this dry overnight and repeated this about three times. It goes on shiny but once you have walked on it it soon loses the shine. You need to try and smooth the Goo so it is not lumpy on the sole (I used an old plastic knife). Also when you put the top back on the tube just make sure that the Goo is cleared from around the top and I also stuck a wooden stick down into it so the Goo wasn't right up to the top as apparently it can dry out. When wearing my boots I can feel the repair a bit but without this my boots would have had to be thrown away. I am really pleased that I am extending the life of the boots especially when Timpsons had written them off. Just shows that sometimes you should take matters into your own hands and the internet is great for finding solutions!

Rellena perfectamente el desgaste del talón. Se mantiene sólidamente unido a la suela, habiendo limpiado previamente ésta.

Prodotto interessante, non ho, ad ora, trovato validi sostituti nelle colle per scarpe che si trovano in giro (mastici, bostik, pattex vari). Forma uno strato che una volta secco è praticamente una gomma dura/plastica morbida. Ho applicato mediamente un nuovo strato ogni 4-5 sessioni di skate, la quantità di colla necessaria è minima e si modella facilmente con un dito bagnato. Indispensabile se si vuole allungare la vita delle scarpe evitandone forature nei punti più esposti al grip della tavola. Non l'ho ancora provato sulle suole.

Facile da usare, si asciuga bene. È possibile anche usare più strati se si deve rattoppare un buco in una suola di gomma, avendo cura di fare asciugare bene tra uno strato e l'altro. Ottima tenuta, impermeabile.
