Shoe Sole Repair Rubber Soling Sheet, Shoes Bottom Repairing Material, 5/32 Inch (4 mm) Thickness (Black)

Tougher than expected. Second time I bought this product. I like to fix my shoes and this thickness lasts well. Clean and sand the old surface well and this will double the life of the boot if you are hard on the soles.

It's getting very difficult to find any sort of shoe repair service, so I offered to try and repair my wife's shoes with this product. This slightly rubbery material seems to be thick and tough enough to last a while. While it's a bit difficult to cut, I managed to do so with a certain model of scissors. The fact that it is rough on one side allows the cement (I used a brand whose initials are S G) to cover more area and increase the likelihood of the repair remaining intact. I cut pieces for both the soles and the heels. My wife is happy, so that's saying something.

I purchased this to experiment with reselling some name brand clogs I have. This stuff is exactly what it described itself as, but you should know it is pretty stiff and hard to cut (I had to use a utility knife since scissors weren’t making good cuts) and very thin, but very durable. My experiment did not go super well, but that was not this product’s fault. I just didn’t know what I was doing!

I like it because the thickness (4 mm, I think) is just right. 'Right' in the sense that if a piece of it is glued to the out sole it would not feel like a 'bulge' underneath your foot. The thickness is also right for having a bigger piece e.g. with a size equivalent to the entire out sole glued to your shoe. On the other hand the sheet material is also soft and pliable - it offers good enough cushion. Having used it for a while I have noticed that the material offers good abrasion resistance. I was not entirely sure it was right for me before I ordered for one reason - it was not said that it was a Vibram sheet. However, it works just like Vibram. I recommend it for anyone who wants to extend the life of their shoes.

I have 4 pairs of wooden sandals that I love but the soles were very soft and disintegrated very quickly. This material was the prefect solution. It is hard to cut, i used a razor knife (with caution) and it got thru it just fine. I cut the material a little bigger the i needed and then trimmed the excess once it was glued in place. I used contact cement, it worked just fine. I wore the sandals all summer and the martial stayed in place and never lifted. If i ever need to redo the soles again (although I doubt it) I would use this material again.

I really thought the product was going to be larger. For the price, I don't think I got my monies worth. I should have looked harder for a size description. I will say the quality of the product was very good, just not enough.

I bought this for a nice pair of suede leather black boots I have that the heal broke off of one. I just traced the heal, cut it out with a good pair of scissors and attached it with "Shoe Goo" shoe glue. I rubber banded it for 48 hours and have worn them close to 10 times since I repaired them and it seems to be holding up great! I actually like it better than the original sole because it has more grip and cush. And I have enough left over to do lots of other shoes if I ever need it.

Rubber is thick, dense, and durable. The rubber sheet arrived flat without any curling and cutting it is easy with a sharp razor or utility knife. There are two sides to the rubber sheet - one side of the sheet has a slight texture and the other side is smooth. I really like that this rubber is thicker than a lot of others - meaning that my repair will hopefully last longer.
