Andrea: “I just fixed a tear on the front of some vintage bike shoes I have. The sugru looks awesome.”
Nice one Andrea! now I’m hoping one of my shoes is going to get a hole so I can do that puncture patch repair, it’s cool!

Doug says: “sugru worked great on my tramping boots. They are really comfortable and were quite costly five years ago but I didn’t look after them very well and so the leather cracked and broke where the foot bends up after I let the boots get wet and then dried them too fast. This meant that water and mud gets in when I go down to feed the horses, especially now during the New Zealand Winter when it is so wet and muddy. Now no water or mud gets in and it (almost) looks like the boots haven’t been changed unless you know and look really closely. As you can see, I have used them a lot since I fixed them and there is lots of mud all over them. I was initially worried that the sugru that is inside the boots (to give the repair some strength) might be uncomfortable but I was able to shape the sugru to my foot (by wearing the boots) before it dried and so now the boots are even more comfortable!

Olivier posted this on the sugru facebook page yesterday, his first sugru repair – I love that he chose to use orange on blue trainers – loud and proud!

OH, word of warning! in case anyone’s thinking to rush off and repair the ends of their shoes with sugru – don’t ! it’s not strong enough for soles of shoes, it’ll wear through when you walk on it. Seems like it’s really good for uppers tho!
