    • Using a toothbrush, clean the entire cleat, especially where the shoe is ripped.

    • The toothbrush will help get any excess dirt or turf out from under the ripped area.

    • Squeeze out a good amount of the Shoe Goo onto the piece of printer paper.

    • Shoe Goo will help adhere the sole of the cleat to the leather.

    • Be sure to have a clean air source in the room, as this glue has strong fumes.

    • Using the paint brush, paint the glue in the opening of the ripped cleat and between the leather and the sole of the cleat.

    • The glue is very sticky and dries fast. Make sure to paint it inside the rip as soon as you squeeze the glue out onto the paper.

    • Let dry for 3 minutes and repeat the step again.

    • Press the cleat together firmly and wrap a few pieces of newspaper around the sole of the shoe.

    • The newspaper helps the glue not get stuck to anything.

    • Wrap the adhesive tape around the newspaper tightly to keep pressure on the tear until the glue dries.

    • The adhesive tape keeps pressure on the tear while it dries.

    • Use a hair dryer to slowly warm the newspaper surrounding the tear. Do this for 10 minutes, then let the shoe rest.

    • Make sure to hold the hair dryer 4-6 inches away so the tape and newspaper don't over heat as glue might bubble.

Conclusion

Once the steps above are completed, your cleats should be repaired and ready for play!
