How well will this work to waterproof synthetic running sneakers?

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.

You have to wash the product into the fabric, I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Unfortunately, I don't think this would work for shoes. I would LOVE to find a product that would work for shoes and boots! I wish someone would sue the pants off manufacturers who make slippery soles. You can't find real rubber soles anymore, everything is synthetic.

I bought mine for triathlon. The width was essential for my comfort and getting it wet is no problem at all.

I am only running about a mile at a time right now. When I get finished running it is wet. Hope that helps.

Yes, I am sure that would work, Just let it dry completely. I sometimes just spray on the outside of the shoe, too.

If you're referring to Van's shoes, it will work on pretty much any shoes. If your shoes have soles with lots of thin grooves that go across the shoe, it doesn't clean those grooves as well as it cleans diagonal ones or ones that go lengthwise.

Hi,I tried using this glue to glue leather pieces together on a jacket. It is not waterproof at all. The my jacket got moist from just a slight sprinkle and fog and the glue became soft. I ended up using shoe goo and it has held pretty good.

waterproof boots would be a waste of money, tennis shoes or cheap pair of wading boots will work fine. Just need something to protest your soles.

I would think so. That's what this is designed for. Just make sure that you have plenty of ventilation when you do it because the fumes are strong. Coat the sole with an even coat of Shoe Goo but don't make it too thick or it will ooze out of the sides. If you have a shoe last (the things they put inside shoes at some stores to help them keep their form), I would put it in the shoe first. Then you might want to find a way to weight the shoe down so that the pressure on the sole is even and it glues evenly.

I've got a little pouch to hold the sensor which attaches to the laces of my Brooks GTS running shoes. It works ok though it looks funny and the timing accuracy is erratic. I'm thinking of cutting into the sole of my shoe like some of the other respondents have recommended, though I'm a little worried about ruining them.

I would imagine after the skin was waterlogged it would be more sensitive to the abrasive surface. This is more likely than not to be used with some type of footwear.

Actually, when I first got it, I just stuck the sensor between the tounge of the shoe and the laces. It worked great, but I worried that it might, eventually, fall out. So, I cut a little slit in the tounge of my running shoe, stuck it down in there and then sewed it shut again. Works like a charm.

I used them on my running shoes, but I had a considerable length that I had to cut off the end of the laces. I believe they would work on hiking boots.

They will help keep moisture out but there is not a water tight seal between the shoe and gaitor. If you stay in standing water, you will get wet. Running through wet grass, brush or even puddles, it will help keep the water out.

I'm sure if it stop leaking. It would depend on where the leak is located and how large. It does seal a rubber or leather sole to the shoe and creates a barrier.

Someone had recommended Contact cement, I tried it but it did not work well. I re-cleaned the pads/glasses and used super glue...works great through a couple on months of sweat and 2 Half Marathons...

I would advise that this would not work in bare feet - maybe with socks, I think it is designed more for stability and some cushioning during aerobic exercise when you would be wearing shoes.
