A must-have accessory to keep in your session bag for any emergency.
Shoe Goo: The Secret to Doubling the Lifespan of Your Skate Shoes
Skateboarding is expensive, especially when it comes to footwear. Your board's grip tape acts like wood rasp on the leather, suede, or canvas of your shoes. That is where Shoe Goo comes in. More than just glue, it is a flexible adhesive that dries into an extremely abrasion-resistant rubber. Applying a layer of Shoe Goo to high-wear areas adds a real protective armor that takes the friction instead of your fabric.
How to Use Shoe Goo for an Effective Repair?
To get the best results and keep your shoes from wearing out too quickly, here is how to optimize your application:
- Preventive Reinforcement: Don't wait for a gaping hole! Apply a thin layer of Shoe Goo to the area where your shoe rubs most against the grip (often near the pinky toe or lateral side) before the material wears through.
- Patching Holes: If a hole has already formed, use a small piece of cloth or thin leather as an inner "patch," then cover the outer area with Shoe Goo to seal it securely.
- Re-gluing Soles: It is the ideal product for re-attaching soles that are starting to peel at the toe cap. Apply, press firmly, and let dry for 24 hours for a rock-solid bond.
- Total Flexibility: Unlike regular super glue that hardens and cracks, Shoe Goo remains flexible and moves with your shoe, which is essential for maintaining your boardfeel.
