Last Summer, I finally found rain boots that fit my chunky calves. I loved them. They betrayed me and totally ripped at the heel seam. I thought all was lost, but I googled how to fix it & this product came up. I figured it was worth a shot & ordered the shoe goo. It fixed them right up & I haven't had any problems thus far. I also fixed a purse that was beginning to come apart. This stuff should be a staple in every closet.
