I have a tear where leather meets the rubber sole. Will it hold with little leather surface and no overlapping? Will it fill any gaps?

We tried to glue a pair of Muck boots sole that came lose and was hoping it would fill in the gaps, etc. It did not work in our case. And it was a shoe repair place that recommended it. So maybe it was us. ??

Yes. It'll stay put just fine I would think. Mine are both, cloth and leather, and we have no problem.

I would say probably not...Shoe Goo is NOT a "glue" it is meant to add additional surface to your sneakers sole. If you used it to build up the sole over the slit it would definately have some effectiveness. But if you used it as a glue to hold together the slit I doubt it would work.

Hi, Judy..."Permanent" is a long time so I can't answer that...but so far, 2 mo.s or so, my shoes are doing well. My guess is that it wouldn't be characteristic of leather to shrink once stretched....and the cost of most shoes far outweighs the cost of the potion. Not much to lose since the stuff left no stains or scars. ms

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.

Absolutely! My husband dries out his leather boots on it, my kids have misc shoes (leather included) and it works awesome! We used it every day over the winter. I recommend this one.

If the area is small and you can get the color to match exactly, it should work. I was successful using the black on small scuff marks on two pair of shoes. On other colors, if you can't get it to match exactly it will show as a stain. If the area is large, you won't have enough.

No it will not work on leather. I would try something like Shoe Glue for that. You can find that at a hardware store.

I would check with a leather person. I am not sure about "unfinished" leather

Tear Mender will definitely man either leather or patent leather. I used the glue to repair a Pottery Barn recliner and the results are excellent. I can barely see where the tear used to be. The glue dries flexible and clear.

I have used it spading. Sole is a heavy rubber - much heavier than a tennis shoe

The soles are glued on. The top of the sole is not solid so there are few points of contact between the sole and shoe leather. I had the sole reglued on an older pair but it did not last.

Absolutely. If they are leather. I repaired a beautiful pair of shoes. Make sure you don't skip putting on clear coat. My shoe repair is literally undetectable.

It may, if it doesn't penetrate the leather. I typically rub it well with my fingertips, and as the others have said...let it dry at room temperature, then simply wipe it with a cloth.

Absolutely, as long as it is the smooth side and not suede. I recommend using a good leather conditioner after it has dried for 24 hours. Don't rub too hard or it may remove some of the dye.

I am using it on top of a small plastic tray lid that flips up and it stays very well. If the leather is treated with oil or some other conditioner it probably wont stay.

I don't think so. If it's to wide just in the heal then it should fix it, but if the whole shoe is too wide then I don't think it will help.
