Would this be better for shoes than regular Goop? They are a hiking type shoe, Nubuck/suede pulling away from rubber/plastic(?) sole. Thanks!!

This is only my opinion. I would think it would work better because it is waterproof and it is flexible.

I'd probably stick with regular goop or some other alternative shoe adhesive. In my experience, the Marine dries non-flexible and I can't guess how it would work for leather (I used it on plastic).

Probably. The disposable covers are paper and the liquid on the shoes will probably leak through and if the shoes are very wet the covers will likely tear as well. On the other hand if the shoes are almost dry the footprints will not show. Also, you could try doubling the safety shoes for more protection.

I agree with your previous responders. works great with closed shoes, not sandals.

I would get a plastic container large enough to fit your Sloggers. Fill it with enough water so the grooves are covered. The shoes may start to float. If they do, just put a clean rock inside the shoes. I've tried those porcupine style shoe scrappers. They were a waste of money. I always leave a chair, an extra pair of shoes and a towel on a mat by the hose. I wash off the Sloggers, step on the mat to dry off, and then I'm ready for the next project. Try writing Sloggers, I'm certain they've been asked this question before. I hope this helps.

Since nubuck leather is somewhat akin to suede I'd say no. I am confident that it would condition and preserve the leather since nubuck is top grain cowhide but it would probably ruin the "suede" appearance. Search here on Amazon for nubuck cleaners and conditioners, I found a few.

I would try something specifically designed for those purposes: http://www.amazon.com/Original-Penguin-Water-Stain-Repellent/dp/B0030CV784, or maybe, http://www.amazon.com/Atsko-Silicone-Water-Guard-10-5-oz/dp/B0001FYL2M/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1389943800&sr=8-9&keywords=water+repellent+spray+for+shoes, OR http://www.amazon.com/Kiwi-Camp-Heavy-Water-Repellent/dp/B000HJ7CLY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1389943800&sr=8-4&keywords=water+repellent+spray+for+shoes, are some suggestions I have used silicone repellents in the past and they work well. Just be sure you are BUYING the PRODUCT to MATCH your SHOES' material! Shoes can be made of lots of things, and lots of sub-types of those things (i.e. different treated leathers, different kinds of plastic, etc. etc.) The Kiwi Camp product listed above, as are some others, MORE universal, but the thing you want might not work. I would recommend the most universal one, and that's the Kiwi Camp Dry from what I can see. However, Penguin makes stuff that is for like gentle active clothes a lot of the time, so if that's what you need penguin might be way to go. You should narrow it down, or buy more than one product to be on the safe side, or risk a poor outcome.

I don't see why not; it's basically just finger paint. I doubt it would be very durable on shoes, but I don't think it would hurt them.

Yes, I have. Don't use it for leather or suede. It works well with down bblankets, I throw in some tennis balls and it has worked out well. Good luck.

I have used Shoe Goop that you can buy at almost any hardware store. It is the best for fixing holes and small tears.

I cannot quite picture your situation. The last time I used it (recently) was on a pair of shoes where the sole, about all of the front four inches detached itself from the shoe. I applied all along the edge under the edge of the shoe, pressed it down into position and smoothed out the excess. Let dry several days. Have since used them 8-10 hours a day for many many days with no problem. Hope this helps you. J

I love to use it with UGG & Ash. I think it should fit in Converse as well. My friend introduced this product to me use it in all kind of shoes including high heels. Only drawback is it's thickness would reduce the length of the heel to ankle coverage. Worth a try anyway.

I would say yes if they are not suede, apparently suede and nubuck are very sensitive. I have used it on penny loafers and 3 other pairs of men's shoes without issue. I love the shine!

I wouldnt recommend using the wool pads on shoes but the foam pads i dont see how it would hurt. Just be careful to maintain your heat depending on what type of material your trying to polish.

Ok I read some of the other post an I must state I use mine on my Nike shoes if you plan on using boots it mite require one size larger tho from what I got is you should use a medium size for you an I would think you would still have some stretch room for a bigger boot sole

Yes, it works on boots. I used it on my beloved pair of Oakley Cartridge boots, which were Gore-Tex inside but not outside. Coating the outside with Granger made water bead up on the surface and kept them looking new longer. Unfortunately, I wore the soles off--Granger couldn't save me from that!

Hello J., I am sorry that your shoes are not remaining stretched. I have used my stretcher on several pairs of shoes without a problem. The only thing that I do differently is that I do not gradually stretch the shoes; I open it very wide from the onset and leave for a few days. If you try this & it works great, if not using a stretch liquid (also sold on Amazon) along with the shoe stretcher should definitely do the trick!
