Diy Shoe Repair - Which Glue To Use?

In the second video of DIY Shoe Repair series, you will learn about the common types of glues for shoe repair: contact cement, and ShoeGoo / E6000. You will also learn why other types of glue, such as super glue, Epoxy glue or epoxy putty may not be suitable for your shoe repair needs. At the end of the video I’ll have a bonus tip for a unique type of material for fixing badly deteriorated or snapped soles.

I have a very hard time to focus when people talk but this was so easy to follow and straight to the point. You are incredibly charming and I can imagine you would be every students favourite teacher

Thank you for your excellent video. I have repaired a pair of walking shoes with contact cement and E6000 for hickong boots because I wanted the water resistance. I woumld have had to spend some $250 to replace them. I am in hopes to get another year out of them. I enjoyed your matter of fact matter of fact aproch without a bunch of nonsense.

Thank you for such a concise and informative video!! Answered every question I didn't even know I had !

[amyhobbs]

Awesome video. Very imformative and easy to understand. Thank you for your time. I love the clips you insert in the video. Great sense of humor!!!!❤😂🎉😊

[amyhobbs]

Ive heard that light sanding after cleaning for glue prep helps and that applying 2 coats of contact cement and using a hair dryer to warm contact cement helps for better bond. Thanks so much for your video !!!❤❤❤

[elsahigby]

Very good and structured information. I will be trying E6000. Thank you!

[psludden]

Great video - simple, to the point, no jargon explanation and also very informative

[TheCraftyMagnolia]

Wow, thank you for such a great, informative video. My husband walks a lot for work and wears the toe part of the soles until they flap. I never knew what to use.

You can use Shoe Goo/E-600- to rebuild rebuild the back part of a heel. Similar to your first video where you showed how to fix the heel with a piece of rubber, but instead of rubber, you can take some tape to go around the heel, like a wall, then with the shoe upside down, fill some Shoe Goo/E-6000 onto the heel. The tape will keep the goo from flowing off the side of the heel and so you can pour in and build up a heel. Or if the heel is wearing down, but not that badly, you can put Shoe Goo onto that spot to keep it from getting worse, and repeat as needed.

I have used construcion adhesive like “Liquid Nails” and they lasted surprisingly well.

Thank you for this very informational video sir.

Barge Cement, Boot Fix Glue, Shoe Goo, Gear Aid Aquaseal are ones i use.

Barge Cement is a contact cement.

Boot Fix Glue is a CA glue.

Shoe Goo and Aquaseal are silicones, I believe.

Definitely need the right glue for the right application.

Shoe Goo is touted by some as a miracle, but it's hype exceeds it's deliverable. Works pretty good to repair cracks and tears in the exterior.

[G.Alvarez]

Man!! I should've watch this video before trying to glue some boots with CA super glue as soon as I applied the glue it started having some quimical reaction and fumes now the sole is hard and will be more difficult to repair and get a clean work..


Thanks for the info

[IsThisHowUDoThat]

Thanks for this great video! I can't sleep was cleaning found some old shoes, like pressed, dirty, broken. and started my new night career as a cobbler.
Just one thing, I am a roofer, don't use anything they put on roofs, it might work, but not when it is hot, it will stain, it isn't UV protected. almost every sealant is also a temp fix, not perm, that is why it dont have the uv protection. normally you would cover the sealant, with slate crumble or like stones, so when hot, birds don't make tiny holes in the warmed up sealants.

But great video, ordering that cement right away. I subscribed.

[Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Fantastic tips, tHank you. This was a very enjoyable and easy to follow video. I may get glued to this channel!

[rossbarber]

I just came across this a year after you posted, RTV is a blue colored liquid gasket maker which may stand out in shoe repair. I have used it in several industrial settings such as seals for drive motors in forklifts, and its is a very very strong and plyable adhesive, to the point i had to use a lot of brute force, my body weight and then some to get the seal to break. I do not know how it works as an adhesive for different materials other than metal to metal, but it cures fast and may work in a pinch.

[grahamfossett]

Wish all videos were this clear and concise. I think the only thing you're missing is a final summary at the end with the glues you talked about on a single slide/image. Hope to find your videos when I need help with other things.

[peterxyz]

It’s why I’ve been researching Goodyear Welt shoes

[ashokmoghe]

Very well done - I was looking for some answers when repairing my wife's sandals and found valuable information in your video. Thanks.
BTW, one more thing about RTV or rubber products such as those designed for roof and gutter repair is that they may not be designed for abrasion like the sole rubber. So in theory they may fill the gaps with rubber but may wear out quickly. Just my $0.02.
Oh I will check your 3rd video in this shoe repair series too....
