Shoe Goo for heels traction
I have used Shoe Goo on the soles of some of my favourite heels to make them essentially safer for walking around the house, especially laminate floors. It has also decreased my 0-60 acceleration, improved braking and handling across the board, helped my lap times and protects the sole from wear caused by taking off too fast.
Just spread a thin layer on the bottom of the shoe with a paint brush or similar tools, let dry, and off you go. Reapply as needed through out the life of the shoe.

Re: Shoe Goo for heels traction
Cool idea. I should think of that when my coefficient of adhesion drops.

Re: Shoe Goo for heels traction
Here are 2 tests that failed in my quest for traction.
RTV Silicone sealant : Good initial results, but crumbles away easily. Self Adhesive Pads : Stay on for about 40 steps, then peel off unexpectedly without notice, giving the wearer a false sense of security. That next hair pin curve will surely have you eating the weeds.

Re: Shoe Goo for heels traction
Those adhesive pads remind me of a quick fix I did to a nice pair of shoes that developed crosswise cracks under the balls of the feet. I came across something interesting at the hardware store (Bondage Toys'R'Us) - rubber stair tread covers. I cut out a piece that exactly fit the sole and glued it on with... drum roll... Shoe Goo!
The stair covers have ribbing on the tread part, so that added a tad of extra traction.
I'm starting to think I can fix anything...
Maybe I watched too much Red Green...
Or MacGyver...

Initially I thought I'd challenge you to repair Sir C's mind, but that's probably beyond anybody's power (as is mine).

Re: Shoe Goo for heels traction
What a great idea, Jenny! I tried combining RTV and the sole patches and........The soles came off after 40 steps, then the RTV crumbled a few miles later. Didn't get hurt though.

Have you ever used a panty hose to replace a fan belt? Or ever seen a car that still uses a fan belt?

Nope. I let the mechanic change it out for a real belt before it goes kerflooey.Shannon SteelSlave wrote:Have you ever used a panty hose to replace a fan belt?
I'm old enough to remember when (just about) all cars had belt-driven fans. And big-ass engines that had real torque and didn't sound like sewing machines....Shannon SteelSlave wrote:Or ever seen a car that still uses a fan belt?

Re: Shoe Goo for heels traction
Blacky is awesome. Jenny is awesome. LJ is awesome. There are a lot more people here who are awesome, but these 3 seem to need that recognition right now.
What I like about using Shoe Goo by itself is that it is barely visible, and you don't lose that clip-clop sound as you walk. I dispense the Shoe Goo on the surface(s) out of the tube, then I used a cotton swab with the end cut off to spread. I use the cotton end after to clean up the edges.

Re: Shoe Goo for heels traction
Those buggers will clip-clop just about as nicely as the horse-drawn cart that trotted by (Christmas time is a-comin!) just after I parked for my optometrist's appointment. Two big, sturdy black steeds, handsome beasts, with some harnesses that gave me the required naughty thoughts.
The appointment went well. The nice ponies were a sign!
Clip-clop!
Jenny.

If you use Shoe Goo on the horses, they won't slip, and will still make the desired noise.

You know what they say, "Pay peanuts, get monkeys". So maybe it's a good thing there's no peanuts involved and we get you and your fellow mods instead of monkeys running the showbound_jenny wrote:Tell me about it.
