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

Excellent product

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.

Item not tried yet but have heard good reports. It arrived on time and all okay.

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)

Bought to try and repair two pairs of wellies that had developed holes on the join between the sole and boot. To be fair the boots had had a hard life but I didn’t want to purchase a new pair just for rainy days through the summer. Followed the instructions and worked a treat both pairs repaired and fully watertight. It looks like I might manage winter without buying a new pair of boots. A good purchase and well worth the money.

works well - but needs a little while to set.

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.

I am a farmer so my boots get used and abused. A pair of my Meindl's had one of the mid-soles falling off and I have tried other glues on other shoes however Meindl's are not cheap. I read the reviews and finally bought the original Shoe Goo and some Shoe Goo 2 (which I still have to try). I followed the instructions and wire brushed and sanded the parts to glue so they were clean and had some grip then use a liberal layer of Shoe Goo, clamped them together and left them for 72 hours. I have no planted ver 3000 trees in wet weather in them and they are still holding firm.... So I will definitely be using Shoe Goo again
