This probably is one of the strongest glues on the market but it foams up when it dries. I was using it on the bottom of some tennis shoe sole so it really did not matter how it looked. The shoes where some walking the dogs shoes. If used this glue on an expensive pair of shoe I would not be happy.Just consider what you are gluing before you buy this glue. Gorilla Glue make a clear version but it no where as strong as the original but it looks much better when it dries.Try to reduce the amount of glue used so it will not bubble over when it dries.
