Is it good for shoe repairs?

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.)

Buff shoes- there is only one answer. 100% Horsehair brush. $10 or less at any shoe repair shop

I would not think that this product would work for this use. I use it as a protection from toe rubbing on a shoe. It is very soft and does not have the stiffness needed for straigtening.

Sure, it will work on all leathers. But I'd find a shoe polish that already contains conditioner as well as the color of the shoe. Just my thoughts. Some other really good products to also consider are: Bee Kind or Saphir.

I would say probably. It's meant for multiple types of materials. It does great on my nylon shoes. You could test in a small area to make sure it doesn't look bad.

No - haven't tried that. I used it on a spike high heel (shoe)that got damaged and had to glue it to make is stay securely.

Yes, but not well. I used it on a pair of costume boots and while it went on nicely, it cracked very quickly under use.

Yes. It works great regardless if you wear shoes or not. I do both (even at the office!)

If you have a shoe repair store in your area, then I would start by taking the shoe to the store. They may have the proper tools to help you.

I wouldn't use it to apply polish and don't think it could very easily. It works great as a shiner between applications of polish that require rubbing it into the leather. Unless you ding or scrape your shoes, the buffer works well for daily use.

Jack: I use this pair to clean and rejuvenate vintage (1920s-1960s) women's shoes all the time. The cleaner is great and the rejuvenator really works well. Regards, Tony

Sorry for the delay in answering this question. I would not recommend this to polish or buff shoes. Even at the lowest setting on the rotary device your using.

I would say yes. I used this to connect a broken handle(plastic) of a sweeper to the metal rod it was connected to. I have used this for lots of other things as well. I have even fixed a pair of leather dress shoes that had a tear in them. Very happy with this product.

I've been using it on a pair of Ecco dress shoes for the past year and it has kept them looking great. As the description says, you can buff this to a shine.

I've never tried it on golf shoes, but it doesn't damage my work boots, or tennis shoes. I actually bought one of these for my father from Atwoods, and it's not quite such a tight fit. A little easier on those aged legs.

Of course, just make sure to melt it in with a hair dryer. I use it on every pair of leather boots I go through, reapplying as it gets worn & scratched.

Yes, it is still used by many shoe manufactures, even comes in drums. Stays flexible where other products fail. Need to fit precisely and you only get one shot to put it together, contact cement. The best.
