Has anyone tried sticking this to the bottom of leather-soled dress shoes? Do they hold up well?

No have not tried that. Can't see how it wouldn't work though. I would try a small narrow piece first.

No, but that just sounds like a bad idea. It's like sandpaper on the bottom of your shoes. You'll end up scratching floors. They make specific products for leather soled shoes.

That's a tough one. My Sperry's are pretty substantial at the back for support. I have used the product on my every day shoes and have luck with the product at the front of the shoe. Have you tried wooden shoe stretchers, along w/a product like this-might work.

I sprayed 3 coats of Performix on the back of stair tread rugs and it did not keep them from slipping. If you go to the internet and type in"Utube Perfect rubber sole for crochet slippers" you will see how others are putting a rubber sole on bottom of handmade slippers.

In my experience, rubber cement works well on leather (over the years I have used it to make many lasting repairs). Coat both sides of the leather to be joined, let it dry, then carefully position and press the pieces together. Obviously this won't work in every situation, but it is worth a try. (FYI, when making laced leather products like wallets, the lacing is lengthened by cutting a 1/8" 45 degree slice off the top side of one piece and off the bottom side of the other (to keep the shiny top-side continuous) and then rubber-cementing them together in the manner described above.)

Sure. It would definitely do the trick. However, I would recommend another product that would work better for that goal. I would use Huberd's Shoe Grease, if it's black leather.

What I would really like to know is where to get SOLES to put onto the bottom of wooden shoes. I am trying to repair my daughter's wooden Japanese shoes. Pair after pair, that sole on the bottom of the heel always wears off...

I have only used it on clothes suitcases and shoes; shoe-leather and suitcase-leather survived 2 hrs at 145 degrees internal-temp with no damage

No because you would ruin the bottom of your laptop due to the tape being very gritty so I would scratch it. This tape really is only meant to grip soft plastic like the bottom of your shoes.

Base on my experience in using this product: it would do the job, but not as good as the rubber glue used for glueing shoe sole. I used this product to add suede leather to the bottom of my dance shoe (takes the abuse of using the shoe) but now and then the end or side would become unglue and I just clean it up and glue it back. As oppose to rubber shoe glue it would not have come apart at all. Iron on fabric patch is quite strong done right should stay together after wear and washing. Advantage of this product is - cheaper and don't dry up as quick. And it is advertized for leather... if preparation is done right (good cleaning before applying the glue and must apply good contact pressure until it dries) it should do the job. Specially if not taking the abuse of using it on a dance shoe sole. Hope this help.

I don't have any patent leather shoes, but I think the stretcher is worth a try -- it does well on plain leather

I havent tried that ! they have no adhesive , but i dont think this is the main problem , the issue is they are big enough and will be seen if in a sandal . However they're very stable in shoes and boots and prevent bad smell

I used them on a pair of leather sneakers, right at the widest part of the foot, and they worked great. Had to use them a few times to get the best results. But scratch up the plastic, set them to the width you need, jam them in and you're golden. I also found rubbing some alcohol on the spot and laying them by a heating outlet helped. Really, they were a bargain.

I used it on leather golf shoes and a micro fiber pullover, no problem. I have not used it furniture though and would do a small section first if I was you.

Never considered that. All use I know of has been for smooth work leather. Email the vendor or Russell Moccasin for guidance. They are both super folks

I've never had a problem at all with any residue sticking to my foot, but I agree that a little rubbing alcohol would remove it, if it happened. Mine always just peel right off when I want them too and never leave anything behind.

I'm afraid I cannot totally answer your question. They do not have an adhesive on the bottom. They don't feel to me as though they would slide in any shoe, but I have only used them with a pair of Keds, and they do not slide at all. Sorry, but I just don't know.

Yes, I have it on my slip on boots and have had them on one other style boot. It should work fine on shoes. The rubber makes them able to adapt over different styles of shoes.
