Tools

Parts

Shoe Goo

Step 1

To begin, clean the Adidas Gazelles with some water on a towel.
Be careful not to use too much water or you could further damage your shoes.

Step 2

Carefully use the utility knife to free the hole of any excess material.
Make sure and clear the Gazelles of any debris that that could be stuck under the loose squares of the sole.

Step 3

Use 100 grit sandpaper to roughen the inside surface of the hole.
This will help the shoe goo grip the surface of the shoe, and produce a more lasting fix.

Step 4

Apply shoe goo to the inside of the hole in the sole of your Adidas Gazelles.
Make sure to apply evenly to avoid making your Gazelles off balance.
If there is anywhere else on your Gazelle's sole that could use additional protection, apply shoe goo to those surfaces as well.
