I saw 2 guys use this on a t-shirt & pair of pants & I was impressed. But does anyone know if it works well on tennis shoes?

No. It I not designed for clothing. It might work for a short while. Also only try it on a white shoe. Otherwise it will mute the color. It has been tested by ConsumersUnion and was rated as one of the biggest flops in new products for 2013. Hope this helps. As I said before, it's really only good for solid metallic objects that do not get handled or walked on. That pretty much means satellite dishes.

It does not. I put it on a pair of boots and it was very ineffective. The problem is that shoes flex when you walk in them. In any spots there is flex the product will flake off and not work at all. Also if your shoes touch anything (just from common movement) it will brush off quite easily in those spots. On my boots (which were much stiffer on the outside then your tennis shoes will likely be) any spots that flexed were no longer waterproof within 2-3 days, and any spots that brushed anything took about a week to 10 days for the product to be ineffective.Also as mentioned by another user it will leave a cloudy white residue on anything it is applied to.

Yes it is extremely effective. I use it every few days, or after my shoes get wet. it adds years to shoes I would otherwise throw away.

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.

HI--,, I am a Lieutenant Inspector for the state of New York. I have used it on my Jackets, Shoes, gloves and it worked fine. You have to put on the first coat,, let it dry for 8 hours and then apply a second coat.

If you have already tried rubbing alcohol or acetone nail polish remover (separately, of course) and neither worked, you could give this stuff a try. As suggested, try it on an inconspicuous spot, as the product is strong and could melt the fabric. If it doesn't work on the jersey, you'd at least have it on hand for other tasks. I have used it a lot for removing various gunky substance that don't budge with anything else.

Yes you can, I used it on a pair of white slip on canvas sneakers that have white rubber soles and it worked great!

It doesn't work well at all. The way it's designed does not give a clear impression but rather smudges. No it will not work on tennis balls.

I never really used them for writing on clothes,but I did by mistake write on my pants and it did write very well.So I think it is good for t-shirts

I really only find it helpful for shirts. That being said I have not really tried anything else. :)

Yes, they work great on dress boots and casual boots. I also use them on my dress shoes. No problems with stains on lighter colours. For my winter boots, I recently tried this product instead: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZTXPJ6/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It works great, but it does darken the colour on anything not black, and changes the feel of the boots since it's basically applying a layer of silicone. For normal, everyday wear (including in rain), I stick with the product you have asked about.

I used it on some silk shirts with no trouble, so I would think you'd be okay to use it. You might want to do a test patch by applying it lightly in a small area and give it a day to see if anything happens. I really think it will work great though.

It works great on anything. Shoes, boots, gloves, helmets (with the right attachments, of course) are all dried in minutes.

I have only used it on my 2 pair of work boots extensively, but I have also used it some on my leather belts. I apply it using my fingers using a light coating, then repeating if needed. It will make the leather slightly darker. I plan on using it on my grandson's ball glove too. Good stuff. It offers slight water proofing and leaves a slight film so I'm not sure what the grip on the football will be. You might want to experiment on the tip of the ball.

I would hesitate using it on something that delicate. It left a ring on my polyester pants. However, it came out in the wash.

I believe it will. I used it on shoes that had cloth fuzzy stuff and it worked fine

I wear size 9w, the stretches with the plastic fall apart, so I decided to try the men's shoe stretcher. Am pleased to say it works for me. I've been really putting it to work. I think I can say I've gotten my money's worth.
