Once the shoe is free of excess material, and clean as can be, you are ready to apply the goo onto the shoe. Apply a medium amount along the rip or hole on the desired spot.
Gloves are recommended for this, but are not required.

Here’sthe deal on this effort, there is value in fixing things that just need some effort….rather than trash tossing. Once fixed, these canvas shoes can live a long useful life and with creativity and cleaning they can be anything you want them to be. You can turn a well worn pair of canvas shoes into a work of art as long as the sole is good and the heel isn’t broken down. I love this video!
