Shoe repair with Shoe GOO | The Fixit Shed

[@RepairGang]

That stuff has been around forever. Great stuff! I remember as a kid using that because we are poor. You know, a product that's been around since I was a child is great

[@TheFixitShed]

Yes, I was impressed. When I first bought it I wasn't expecting much, but stuff is holding together years later. I used it to hold the trim on the hard cover on my truck bed. works there, too.

I used shoe goo last night. It reminds me of a product that my grandpa loved called Goop.

[@mrrich9614]

I'm going to try it on some cross country ski boots. Fingers crossed.

[@TheFixitShed]

Good luck! Let me know how it goes.

[@mrrich9614]

@@TheFixitShed It didn't work. I put it on a clamp and let it cure for 3 days. I think the stress from skiing is just too much for it. I bought a new pair boots.

Very helpful thank you

[@TheFixitShed]

Thanks! Glad it helped.

[@ConnieJoDorsett]

Gonna try it for the first time on my favorite Harley Davidson boots. The sole came completely of of them both. They were very expensive & that was 25 years ago. I'll letcha know how it works. Thanks for the info 😊

[@TheFixitShed]

It worked great on my wife's boots. I hope it works well for yours!

[@ralphh4131]

Keep the cap and neck clean and put a dab of olive oil or whatever on the threads to store it!!!!

[@TheFixitShed]

Will this work to permanently repair bowling shoes? How do you get rid of the excess glue on shoes and will it stick to fingers? How long does it take to dry before you can use the shoes?

[@TheFixitShed]

The repair on the boots has held up well over a long period of time and the boots get used quite a bit. I have used it on sneakers and it held up for a little while, but eventually the sneakers came apart. For the sneakers I was glueing the rubber tread to the foam part of the soul. For the boots, I was glueing the rubber soul to the leather of the boot. I would suspect the bowling shoes might be more like the boot repair. I din't really worry about excess on the boots. I tend to focus on function over aesthetics. Once it dries, you could probably cut excess away with a razor (carefully). It sticks to most things, but it comes off of fingers without too much trouble. It says to allow minium 24 hours, but could take as long as 48-72 hrs.

I've been using Shoe Goo since my skateboarding days in the 90s.

[@amirulsyafiq6441]

this glue strong or not for sport shoes

[@TheFixitShed]

It is going to depend on the material. The repair on these boots has lasted a long time. I did a repair on some sneakers, and it worked initially, but did not last.

[@3DJapan]

The problem is when the tube gets older it gets really hard to squeeze the goo out.

[@TheFixitShed]

Yes, and there is more in that tube than you will ever use before it becomes impossible to squeeze out.

[@testchannelone6616]

Any idea how to get it out of the tube? I squeeze and nothing comes out. (Please don't tell me to queeze harder. It already is. 🙂)

[@TheFixitShed]

@@testchannelone6616 if it is a brand new tube, did you puncture the metal seal with the poker on the lid? If it is not a brand new tube, is it possible that it has solidified?

[@testchannelone6616]

@@TheFixitShed solidified, yes. Not brand new.

[@TheFixitShed]

@testchannelone6616 yeah, that happens to me a lot.

E6000 or shoegoo?

@@NeverFollowTheCrowd I am not familiar with E6000. I may have to check that out. Thanks!
