A real product for lost soles.
You made me smile
I skated when I was a younger man and my shoes would be 90% Goo. That stuff works great.
+RANDOUGH SURVIVOR It really works well and is a nice addition to prepping supplies.
I did it very similar and I sprinkled some uncooked rice into it as it was still wet. Rice? Yes, because it becomes embedded in it and makes instant traction! Otherwise if you walk on wetness and then on a slick surface, you can slip and fall. Try it!
That is a good idea
Ice cubes are your friends....makes it so much easier to spread ..it doesnt stick to the cube, can smooth it out and shape it perfect
Fascinating. I had never heard of this product. Glad you were able to fix your shoes. So hard to replace a good shoe.
+beahaven Agreed. Love my "chicken shoes."
Gonna try it on my shoe sole that looks like your shoe boot. I love my shoes and I don't want to throw them away. Thank you for showing us how to repair a broken shoe bottom sole!!!
If you wet your fingers thoroughly with hot water you can touch and manipulate the stuff immediately. I use it for a lot of things beyond shoe repairs, such as insulating wires and fixing broken plastic items.
Never thought of insulating wires. Great suggestion.
Lady you saved me so much money thank you so much
Shoe Goo is great stuff. I've only used it for minor repairs but you've inspired me to try it on something more severe. :)
The patch worked quite well for a time
I've used permatex ultra black rtv before it also works very well.
With Shoe Goo your pair of shoes can last forever. Never buy another pair. ;-P Helpful video, thank you!
Never used it before but I have a few pairs of casual shoes I have refused to throw away because of the comfort level. I shall try this! Thanks for the great video!
+Freejack Prepper Let me know what you think. I have been very happy with my repairs.
I noticed on one of the other vids that if you take a tube of Shoe Goo, after you first use it spread some grease on the threads of the neck of the tube. Then this way way the next time you use it you can get the cap off very easily
LOL, I wear old shoes when checking the chickens and end up with wet socks sometimes too, chickens get us out in all sorts of weather we would typically avoid. Just used some shoe goo. Try using a plastic knife to spread it (though acetone will remove it from fingers/objects). Also put petroleum jelly on the tube threads so the cap doesn't get stuck.
Great ideas -- especially the petroleum jelly on the tube threads. Otherwise it is impossible to get the cap off once used.
Not my ideas -- I read the instructions on the package before using it. :)
Thank you! So many videos didn't answer my simple question about Shoe Goo for soles and treads. Now I know. Off to buy some SG right now.
91% isopropyl alcohol will take that goo off the finger if it ain't completely cured. I do a lot of boot repair for work boots and that is what I use.
Good idea. Thanks!
I have used Shoe Goo to fix the hole in the toe of my steel toed work boots. It has been a couple months and still holding.
+Buckrun11 This was the first time I tried it. I will definitely keep tubes of it in my prepping supplies.
Thanks for the vid. I did the same thing with hiking boots and a campfire! Ordering some Shoe Goo now!
I hope it works for you
You could use weather proofing too to help keep your feet dry, (weather proofing Recipe:) 16oz of Natural Beeswax, 8oz Boiled Linseed oil, 8oz Turpentine. gently melt the Beeswax to a liquid then add the other parts gently staring never let it boil to hot after a few minutes turn the heat off and pouring in suitable size tin or jar allow to cool before use. using cloth or brush apply to shoe evenly all over. using a hair dryer on high setting blow the heat over the waxy area till you see the wax melt in the leather/canvas shoe. Never keep the hair dryer on one spot for too lang just enough that the wax melts into the material and you should be done! hope that helps too!!
Great "recipe." I have the beeswax already too.
I put my finger in a plastic bag to spread glue. I glued my edges of my soles around bc they are coming off my boots.Hopefully this works. I might put nail or screws to make sure soles don't come off but not sure. I just might add more glue, then I'm going to put leather fabric on top of boots since that's peeling. Lot of work, lol.
you resembles my mother alot haha. thanks for sharing and have a nice day
+EncikPanda Thank you for watching
Thanks for making the video. You saved me a lot of money.
well done and informative video! you've answered the specific question I had about this product.
Good stuff! Great to have it around!
+SouthPaw Bushcraft It is amazing at how well it worked
I am going to try this. I heard of this product years ago but have never personally used it. I was going to try a shoe cobbler but they are hard to find nowadays and much more costly. I have a 10 year old pair of dress shoes that were $140 when new and they still look new, but the soles are starting to fall apart at the bottom of my heel on the left shoe and leaving a black crumbling mess all over. I have a second pair from the same brand that have the same problem but they are more well worn but I hated to toss them out, so if it works I will fix them too. Thanks
+tyler2610 I hope it works.
you should try and set up an amazon affiliate link to this product for people to buy shoe goo, cause I'm only purchasing the product because of the work you put in to make this video. Anyway, thanks
Maybe some day. I don't want people to mistrust my reviews becasue I make money for purchases.
Smooth it with ice cube to protect fingers
After you apply the goo, use an ice cube to spread it around, the goo will not stick to the cube and nothing gets on your fingers 😉
Thanks for the tip. That would be a lot easy at clean-up.
Great tip thanks, I'm constantly going through work boots I'm sure this will help me tremendously. Subbed.
Thanks for the sub
Shoe goo works great, I used to use hot glue but it is not as good as shoe goo. thumbs up!
+Robb's Homemade Life I was surprised at how well it worked on such a big area
I have read elsewhere by using an ice cube makes smoothing easier and will keep the glue off your fingers. Sorry I see this is a duplicate.
i love the demo!! thank you🤍
Thankyou for sharing. I just had my favorite winter boot heel bust a hole. Totally need to find this Stuff and try it :)
FINALLY! Now I know how to perfectly coat my finger black. Thanks!
Yes, it works really well for that )
If you're having a hard time getting glue of your fingers, use oil and rub it on the glue.
Like this, the glue will come off easily.
Great tip. Thanks!
Shoo goo is extremely toxic and carcinogenic, it says so on the outer packaging as well as on the tube itself, at least here in Europe. Better not use your finger for two reasons, the first I already stated, the second you stated yourself in your video, is to avoid the tedious task of removing the residue from you skin. A good way to smooth out the goo is to use an ice cube instead of your finger.
Good to know. Thanks for the information on the toxicity.
Also, if you do use your finger, put Vaseline on your finger before applying goo so that it doesn’t stick to fingers and comes off hands easily.
A putty knife or other flat edge works well too and it's fairly easy to clean off in my experience
A well made, useful video, thanks.
Not too bad , I’m using on some of my boots
I drag my heel a lot and my yezzys were wearing down so I might try this
I hope it works for you
excellent looks like a great product to have on hand
+Next72Hours I think so too
Do you mean on finger?
curious to know how it'd held up (if it has ... ) over time ... I mean I have seen alot of reviews on UA-cam and Amazon .. just ordered a tube myself to be honest ... but I am curious if you really "apply it correctly" how long did it last. I have tried things like Super Glue before and even when it does stick for a long period (months)... it turns where I glued hard as a rock and makes the sneaker uncomfortable.
If this works on my somewhat old/not so old pair of skechers .... and it lasts ... I will be VERY happy ... Shoe Goo may be able to repair a few issues in sneakers that are in otherwise pretty decent shape for the age they are.
another thing I forgot to mention is how often i had to repair some of the sneakers I tried in the past with superglue ....I am just hoping this works like I think it will ... plan on doing a second layer after the first one dries just for added support i guess ... will be sure to read the instructions before I start anything though
It lasted a couple of months. However, to be fair, this was a MAJOR repair. If I would have used it before the sole was so bad I think it would have worked better. I believe it works better on small rather than large areas. Let me know how it works for you.
I'm going to try it on my old Skechers, too. Did yours work?
Good tutorial, I like your test to show the proof.
+Nathan4071 Thanks. I was impressed with how well the goo worked
Instead of using your fingers to smooth out the goo use a ice cube , works perfect !
Great idea
You might want to add nail polish remover to that repair kit. It will help break down glues and other items making it easier to clean or wash off.
+Prepare Learn Survive! Good idea
+Prepper Potpourri Believe it or not, I always keep a bottle in my toolbox. My wife sold me on its many uses.
Try using an Ice Cube to smooth it out! No sticky mess..
Good idea. Thanks
Very nice product for some awesome shoe repairs indeed my friend :-) thanks for sharing.
+Massachusetts Prepper It was a fun experiment
Great job 😊
Great prepping item. Thanks
+live4wild I'm going to buy a couple more tubes to keep on hand.
goo works good i use it doing a lot of things
+phyllis mulkey Yes, I was impressed
use ice cube to spread it
I didn't even know that you can have a hole in the bottom of your shoe without skating it lmao
was there something swimming in your water?
I never noticed that until your comment. Yep, a tiny minnow.
I thought this was Diane Feinstein at first!
SHe gets paid a lot more than me :)
B'laster Citrus based Degreaser for that "tacky" finger! 👍
I will have to try that. It sounds like a good product to have on hand.
How long did it last on the shoe and keep your socks dry?
Hard to say because I only used the shoes for messy outside jobs
Nice video. Let us know how it holds up over time.
+Lazy Man Prepper Will do
I’m going to try this shoe glue on s pair of my old Winter work boots because they’re somewhat waterproof, but the soul is split.
When you’re dealing with toxic dangerous chemicals. Just remember one thing, if you get it on you, you get it in you.
One more little thing. isn’t it kind of a risk to your health walking we’re chickens live and getting your socks wet in that area? It has to be filled with bacteria and germs and mold and viruses. I think it’s probably a good idea to have a good pair of shoes that you leave outside of your house after walking through the chickens living area so you don’t end up with shoe poo
You are probably right. But I remember as a kid farm children running barefoot through manure laden ground LOL
use ice cube to smooth the area. the goop won't stick to an ice cube
That is a great idea! Saves my finger from turning black too.
Next time you use this stuff and want to use your "finger" to apply it, stick the finger you are going to use to spread the Goo with 'In Your Mouth' and get it really covered with saliva,THEN use that finger to spread the glue. And use the same trick when smoothing out calking you've applied, and neither the Goo nor the Calking will stick to your finger. You can then just wipe-off your finger with a damp cloth or even a damp paper towel, and yer finger will be clean as a whistle with no residue. Spit, it's some good stuff, lol. :-)
+namrednop Thanks for the suggestion. I will moisten my finger first next time I use it. I was impressed with the results.
you can make your shoe more comfortable by putting boiled-sliced lemons for around 2 to 3 hours...... Happy Trying!
Interesting
+Prepper Potpourri pls follow me on my ig account . @sharven4raj
I was going to purchase Shoe Goo at Wally world for $5 but opted to $4 for a pair of shoes on clearance in the next isle. They lasted 3 months 👀
Nice one
I've ordered some thanks .
Put my boots on a electric fire melted bottom silly me 😸
are the soles still doing ok? Any issues?
The smaller hole sole is fine. The entire sole came loose from the other shoe.
How many years your shoe survive after putting shoe goo?
Well, I don't wear them continuously -- only when I had a dirty, outdoor task to complete. So they lasted me another 6 months or so. It was a big hole.
Thank you🙏
Goooood Stuff
+Geordie Prepper It does come in handy
Prepper Potpourri I had never really thought about repairs to footwear, but I will now. Thank you.
nice video
+big dude Thank you
Jim reeves
how to it look like a patch ? I mean isn't the goo white? but it looks like it changed color
I bought black shoe goo since my soles are black.
You sure are pretty 😆
Omfg you aren’t supposed to use your bare hands!! 🙀😥
I heard that...I eat batter with raw eggs when I cook too...
What about for the inside sole ?
+Adrian V If it is rubber, I'm sure it would work.
Did you get the glue off your fingers or did you have to peal your skin or sand it down?
It did peel off
I think you can use an ice cube instead of your finger
+Bradley Marsh Great idea!
Still holding up 2 years later?
No. The repair lasted for the Summer and then I discarded them. It was an awfully large patch.
A whole summer is pretty good, thanks for the reply
Yes, but these are only shoes that I wore for cleaning the chicken coop or doing something else messy. I'm not sure how successful the repair wold have been if I wore them everyday.
I don't have the same size repair, just a little heel repair. I'm going to try it to prevent wear as well. I walk my dogs and shoes wear out fast. Wondering if some reinforcement, such as drywall mesh would help for bigger repairs. Thanks for posting
The real question is: Will it last.
I think it depends on the size of the hole and the amount of use. My repair saw me through 3 more months but I was only using them when I was cleaning the chicken coop and doing other messy chores.
It won't last.
This illustrates virtually nothing. You haven't even walked 10' in these yet. Any adhesive is going to seal when it's not under any stress!
My repair was not for walking long distances. Just for doing chores like cleaning out the chicken run.
We all know you bought another pair... Don't be silly.
These were only used or chicken coop cleaning. They lasted another 3 month this way. A smaller hole repair would last a lot longer.
Try to tell a woman "maybe you should use gloves". Go ahead, try that.
You are so beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
You are cute.
