Shop NowThree Reasons It’s Still In Every Repair Drawer
Since 1972 we’ve built one thing better than anyone else: an adhesive that keeps shoes on the road, on the trail, and off the landfill.
Industrial-Strength Bond
Cured Shoe Goo stays flexible and abrasion-resistant, so soles keep flexing without cracking or peeling — even under heavy skate, hike, and work use.
Waterproof & Weatherproof
Seals boots, waders, and gloves against water, mud, salt, and cold. Once cured, it shrugs off wet-dry cycles the way ordinary glues never can.
Made to Save Shoes
One 3.7 oz tube can rescue a favorite pair from the trash. Better for your wallet, better for the planet, and it works on rubber, leather, canvas, and vinyl.
Half a Century of Keeping Shoes Alive
Shoe Goo was born out of a simple frustration — worn-out tennis shoes and no glue on the market strong enough to save them. Here’s how the tube in your drawer got there.
-
The Beginning Shoe Goo Is Invented
A frustrated tennis player and chemist creates a flexible urethane-based adhesive designed to rebuild worn shoe soles instead of tossing them.
-
Growth Years Adopted by the Skate & Surf World
Skaters discover Shoe Goo is the fastest way to save an ollie hole. Surfers use it to seal wetsuits and booties. The red-and-white tube becomes a garage staple.
-
Expansion The Family Grows
Shoe Goo II Low Odor and Boots & Gloves join the lineup, adding purpose-built formulas for indoor repairs and heavy-duty outdoor gear.
-
Color Match Black & Clear Formulas
We launch color-matched Black and crystal-Clear versions so repairs disappear into the shoe instead of announcing themselves.

People Who Fix Instead of Toss
Shoe Goo customers are a specific kind of person. They’re the skater whose deck shoes are held together as much by adhesive as by canvas. The trail runner who won’t retire a broken-in pair of trail runners just because the toe rand cracked. The parent squeezing another season out of school sneakers. The angler patching waders the night before a trip.
We’ve built our lineup around that community — around the belief that a favorite pair of shoes deserves one more chance before it becomes trash. That belief is why a single 3.7 oz tube of Shoe Goo has probably saved more shoes than any other product on the shelf.
Whether you’re gluing a sole back on for the first time or you’re a career cobbler with a workbench full of tubes, you’re in the right place. Read the instructions, clamp it tight, let it cure — and get back out there.
Reviews From Real Shoe Goo Users
Feedback from customers who used Shoe Goo Original, Clear, Black, II, and Boots & Gloves on the shoes and gear they weren’t ready to give up on.
“My skate shoes had an ollie hole down to the sock. One tube of Shoe Goo Original, 24 hours to cure, and I got another six months out of them. Nothing else even comes close.”
“Used Shoe Goo Clear on a white pair of trail runners where the outsole was starting to separate. Dried invisible, held through a 40-mile week. Worth every penny.”
“Boots & Gloves saved my hunting waders the night before opening weekend. Sealed a pinhole leak, stayed flexible in cold water. This stuff is legit.”
“I keep the Mini 4-Pack in my toolbox at work. Perfect single-use tubes — no dried-out cap surprises. Rebuilt the heel on my steel toes twice already.”
Shoe Goo Questions, Answered
The most common things customers ask before buying or applying Shoe Goo — from cure time to color choice to where to find it locally.
Using Shoe Goo
How do I use Shoe Goo for the best results?
Clean and dry the repair area, rough it up lightly with sandpaper, apply Shoe Goo in a thin even layer, press the surfaces together, and clamp or tape for 24 hours. Full cure takes 48–72 hours.
How long does Shoe Goo take to dry?
Shoe Goo is set enough to handle in 2–4 hours and reaches a strong bond at 24 hours. For heavy-use repairs like soles and skate holes, allow a full 72 hours before hitting pavement.
What surfaces does Shoe Goo bond?
Rubber, leather, canvas, vinyl, and most flexible plastics. It’s ideal for shoe soles, boots, waders, hunting gear, gloves, and rubber toys. Not recommended for polyethylene or polypropylene plastics.
Is Shoe Goo waterproof?
Yes. Once fully cured, Shoe Goo is completely waterproof and stays flexible through wet-dry cycles — which is why it’s trusted for boot seams, wader patches, and outsole leaks.
Choosing & Finding Shoe Goo
What’s the difference between Shoe Goo and Shoe Goo II?
Original Shoe Goo has the classic solvent-based formula for maximum outdoor durability. Shoe Goo II is a low-odor, non-flammable version — same clear bond, friendlier for indoor repairs.
Should I choose Clear, Black, or Original?
Choose Black for dark soles and shoes, Clear for white sneakers or light uppers where you need the repair invisible, and Original amber for interior repairs or when color match doesn’t matter.
Where can I buy Shoe Goo near me?
Shoe Goo is stocked at most major retailers including Walmart, Target, hardware stores, and shoe repair shops. For the full lineup and fastest shipping, order directly from our Amazon store.
How long does an unopened tube last?
An unopened tube of Shoe Goo stays fresh for years when stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, squeeze out any dried plug at the tip before your next use and reseal the cap tightly.
