Dress Shoe Repair Using Shoe Goo

15 year old dress shoes fell apart.. Saved with Shoe Goo..

[@ScottCalvinsClause]

This was not what I was looking for but I watched it anyway and picked up a new trick. I had never thought to warm the shoe-goo. It can be difficult to work with. Thanks

You're welcome... You're welcome a lot!!

my insoles fell apart as i was walking in public. embarrassing. i have my shoe goo right next to me watching this. great tutorial and presentation. loved the tips as well that i will be using. thank you

[@tongo117]

Glad to have helped..

Nice video, appreciate it. Just a tip, if you sand both side as well, it helps with glue connecting to the material. Also, rubberbands around the front & back also help with the weighting during curing.

Thanks for the tips!!

Excellent video with great insights!

[@daphneraven6745]

you for the nice video! It wasn’t quite what I was looking for, but I am glad to see it. You have lots of good ideas. May I suggest using clamps for the heels if you’re using clamps, the risk of anything slipping as it dries, is greatly reduced.

[@tongo117]

I agree, clamps would be better.. I just didn't have any that would work and had to come up with plan B..

[@daphneraven6745]

@@tongo117 : Nonetheless, this obviously worked very well.

[@gordonadams4793]

Why did you not use the goo on the honey comb contact points of the sole?

Thanks where I can get it here In Nelspruit

How long did this repair last you?

[@tongo117]

It's been 2 years and 3 months and all I've had to do is reglue the heels on the black shoes..

No need to dry first before bonding??

[@tongo117]

If you are using Shoo Goo yes, all surfaces need to be dry.. Mine already were..

[@Spectre.007]

@@tongo117 i mean the glue itself.

[@tongo117]

my bad, there's no mention of waiting before bonding in the instructions on the tube..

[@Spectre.007]

@tongo117 thanks. Ill try these on my soles

[@kvitoroulis]

[@houseatreides1]

[@tongo117]
