Shoe Goo is great stuff. I use it for all sorts of repairs, not just on shoes. It ranks up there with duct tape for repair goodness. I have found a truly great way to make it even better. I have always just followed the label instructions, squeeze it on, spread it smooth and let it harden for a day or two. It works pretty well, but eventually it will crack and break through in the same spot where the shoe's sole cracked. Sometimes it peels right off and doesn't stick to the sole. A while back I bought a nice pair of basketball shoes. They are still in good shape and very comfortable. But I noticed that they were cracking across the bottoms of the soles, right where they bend the most. I did my usual Shoe Goo treatment and figured that all was well. No joy. The very next day the Shoe Goo had cracked at just the same spot. I tried again. No good. I didn't want to throw the shoes away. I like them. I had already 'wasted' two Shoe Goo treatments on them. What to do? I thought about it. And figured out how to make it work. Remember the story of the Israelites in Egypt? (This is not a non sequitur.) They had to find straw to make their bricks. Why straw? What does straw have to do with bricks? (Or Shoe Goo?) Straw, or any fibrous matter, is used to hold the mud together as a binding agent. Without the straw, the dried adobe blocks are too brittle and fall apart. Bondo, used to repair holes in rusted auto bodies, works the same way, using fiberglass threads to strengthen the patch. It adds tensile strength. I needed to find something to add to the Shoe Goo to make it stronger. An old tee shirt. Cotton is strong. They used to make armor out of cotton fabric laminated together with glue, back in the ancient times. Cotton is tough. Good enough for Alexander the Great, good enough for my basketball shoes! I took an old tee shirt and cut out pieces big enough to cover the sole. I put a thin layer of Shoe Goo on the sole, spread evenly. Make sure the soles are very clean before you spread on the goo. It won't stick well if the soles are at all dirty. I pressed the cotton fabric firmly onto the Shoe Goo and rubbed it until the Goo had seeped into the cloth. I then left the shoes overnight to cure. The next day I spread another thin layer of Shoe Goo on top of the fabric and let that dry for a day. The next day I wore them and have worn them since. No problems. The cloth prevents the Shoe Goo from cracking. Problem solved. One treatment will last a long time, but eventually the repair will also crack. All you have to do then is add another layer on top of your old patch. Another plus is that the very thin layers you use for this won't peel off, unlike the thick layer you need if you just use Goo without the cloth. Items you need: Shoe Goo, under $6 per tube. Old tee shirt. Scissors to trim the excess cloth from the edges when it is dry. One tube of Shoe Goo will treat many pairs of shoes if used to laminate with cloth. You need a thick layer if you just use the Goo, but with the cloth you only need a very thin layer of the Goo. It works best on smooth bottomed shoes. I will probably do this to the next pair of shoes I buy when they are brand new, rather than wait until they are already cracked and broken. Shoes are a big expense in my family, with four people, including two kids in sports. I can easily make my shoes last twice as long and save a few hundred dollars a year. If these instructions are not clear and you want to know more, leave a comment below and I will reply. I can take some pictures if necessary and post them in the Hub. Update: I have found something that works better than tee shirt cloth. Old blue jeans are made of a much thicker, stronger cotton fabric than tee shirts. I take an old, blown out pair of jeans and cut rectangles just slightly larger than the shoe. The lower legs of jeans don't usually wear out even when the rest of the jeans are nearly gone, so that's where I cut the patch from. Then you stretch the patch tightly over the wet Shoe Goo, rub the cloth firmly down onto the soles and let it dry. Then as above I put a second layer on the outside surface. I use a little flat stick to spread the Goo evenly and work it into the fabric. This lasts a lot longer. Another advantage of using this method to repair shoes is that the Shoe Goo gives good traction on ice. I did up an older pair of my daughter's boots last week. She loves it. Before, she was slipping all over the place, but she tells me the traction is much better now. Since she really likes these boots, and they are comfortable and fit well, she is glad to have them last longer, and she says they don't look weird. So far no one has even noticed the unusual bottoms. danis 2 years ago Hi, and nice tip! I would like to give facts only, and not expressing my opinion about your repair. Ones opinion depends on ones expectations and purpose, isn't it? I bought a pair of water shoes for minimalist running. I knew beforehand that their soft soles are destroyed relatively fast. So, I gave your idea a try, on my new 10$ shoes. I have run on the treated shoes a total distance of about 200 km, in 15 km/h pace on average, fore foot/mid foot strike on street mainly. The outer shoe goo layer went off just on the first run (1 hr session). The jean layer gradually eroded, and, after these 200 km, there are holes revealing the water shoes soles at the point of strike. This is my experience with your treatment. For sure, it is much more durable, cheap and environmentally friendlier than applying shoe goo only. Shoe goo eroded relatively fast (a 1 mm layer is gone in one run, or tennis session on concrete, for me). I confirm, also, that your repair resulted in a relatively satisfactory traction (I would give a 3, in a 0 5 scale, let's say). Lastly, let me add that even if I tried as much as I could to seep the jean in the applied shoe goo, the jean wasn't plasticized. After the outer shoe goo layer went off on my first run, the jean was absorbing water every time I got the soles in contact with water. 308497 103 Nike Air Jordan 4 White Cement 2012 ,Nike Kobe 9 Low EM Fluorescent Green 136064 004 Men Size Air Jordan 3 Retro Wolf Grey Air Jordan 5 Retro Black Varsity Red Metallic Silver 136064 406 Air Jordan 3 Powder Blue Dark Powder Blue Black Wolf Grey White Nike Kobe 9 Low EM XDR Black Red Air Jordan 3 Retro 88 White Cement Women Size Air Yeezy 2 Red October 2014 Kanye West Shoes 528896 101 Air Jordan 11 Low White Varsity Red Nike Kobe 9 Low EM Away Decorate Your Ft With Iron Fist Footwear To Impress Others Having A Mohican LookUser Rating: / 0 PoorBest MiscellaneousWritten by Anonymous Saturday, 04 June 2011 03:21 Shoe companies always concentrate on the future generation.

It's worth $11.25 million over five years with $8.7 million of that guaranteed. ESPN reported that Tebow could earn as much as $33 million over the course of the contract. Tebow, a Jacksonville native who starred at Nease High, was in meetings Thursday and didn't immediately return a message. Tebow is expected to practice this morning, the final session before training camp begins in earnest Sunday with a full squad in full pads. The Broncos announced Tebow's signing after workouts Thursday and coach Josh McDaniels wasn't available for comment. The team is using four practices this week to give rookies, selected veterans and players coming off injuries a head start on the playbook and practice plans and also to get the jitters out before camp starts this weekend. "It's just an opportunity to feel better about playing faster," McDaniels said. "And I think whether you're a rookie quarterback or an injured player, it makes sense to come in and try to start crawling before you walk and walking before you run because certainly none of them are going to hit the ground running because they're behind. "Every day is a great opportunity." The Broncos' starting quarterback remains Kyle Orton, who threw for 3,800 yards last season but faltered down the stretch when he got banged up and the Broncos kept their offense conservative. The Broncos were unwilling to commit to a long term relationship this offseason, so Orton signed a $2.621 million tender as a restricted free agent and didn't miss any of the team's offseason program. But he did get some better competition for his job as the Broncos jettisoned Chris Simms and Tom Brandstater and brought in Brady Quinn from Cleveland and Tebow from Florida. Tebow might not be ready to make a big impact as a rookie because he faces a big adjustment as he morphs from combination college quarterback to prototypical pro passer. Still, many consider him the best college player ever and he's creating the kind of buzz in the Rockies that John Elway did back in 1983. His jersey already is a best seller, he's pitching products for Jockey, EA Sports and Nike. And he's sure to be under a microscope from the second he steps on the practice field, whenever that might be. Tebow's teammates aren't concerned that he'll cave under all the attention. "As successful as he's been, I'm sure he can handle it," said 10 year veteran Russ Hochstein. Rookie tight end Riar Geer said the one thing he's learned in the four months he's known him is that Tebow prospers under pressure. "He definitely thrives on it. He's a competitor," Geer said. "Watching him out here in all the workouts, he's always coming in first place." The signing of Tebow leaves top pick Demaryius Thomas, a wide receiver out of Georgia Tech, as the only unsigned member of Denver's draft class. Thomas was selected three spots before Tebow. The Broncos open the regular season against the Jaguars on Sept. 12 in Jacksonville. We should have drafted Tebow. It would have been a risky pick, but with a chance at greatness. Instead we took a lineman. Will a lineman (even the BEST lineman) take us to a superbowl? Will Garrard lead us to a championship? Yes I am disappointed and MAD that we passed up an opportunity to draft a player with the potential to be GREAT. With that said, I am still on the Jaguar bandwagon. I will always be a Jags fan, BUT if we don't go at least 9 7 this year I will scream for DelRio and Garrard's heads and ask Wayne Weaver one more time why did we pass on Tebow? 308497 103 Nike Air Jordan 4 White Cement 2012 CORPUS CHRISTI Corpus Christi Teen Court will mark its 20th anniversary next month but instead of a celebration it will be the end of a program that has helped thousands of the city's youth. The nonprofit lost funding from its three longtime sponsors the city, Nueces County and the Corpus Christi Independent School District. Orlando Garcia, the program's executive director, said without that financial backing the court couldn't survive because there wasn't enough private donations and grants weren't available. The award winning court served as an alternative sentencing program for teens. Unlike a conventional court, the defendants were judged by a jury of teenagers. Senior District Judge Jack Hunter, the nonprofit's board president, said he sent out letters a few weeks ago to the City Council, Commissioners Court, school board and other elected officials asking for emergency funds to save the program. No help came. "It's sad for the community and for the young people that have been involved all these years," Hunter said. "They're the ones that are going to be the losers (in this)." Two years ago the three entities gave the nonprofit a combined $50,000 $30,000 of which came from the police department. Last year, that total dropped to $28,000 with $15,000 from the police department. The nonprofit started its current fiscal year in September with no financial backing from the three sponsors, Garcia said. The nonprofit was notified in a 2008 letter from then police Chief Bryan Smith that the department wouldn't be able to fund the program much longer. Garcia said that was because the city's portion had come from dwindling drug forfeiture funds. For a few months, the nonprofit kept going using only surplus funds. After those ran out, Garcia, who had been the only paid employee, stayed on. Garcia bought some supplies out of pocket and said he started working for free this month. Hunter told Garcia on Tuesday that it was time to shut it down. "Orlando would've gone on but I had to make the decision. I said, 'No, you need to take care of your family,'" Hunter said. The program officially will be dissolved on Jan. 29 20 years to the day from when the first court session was held. It already has stopped taking referrals. The last court session was in November. The news saddened former volunteers like Corpus Christi attorney Liza Aguilar Wood, who spent some of her high school years helping with the program. Wood, who served as a teen prosecutor and worked behind the scenes, said the experience left a lasting impression. She said the program was a success because teens had to work off their sentence instead of getting an easy way out. "Teenagers are harder on other teenagers because they know the lies the parents would fall for," Wood said. "You learn more of a lesson and say, 'I don't want to do that again.' " The court heard Class C misdemeanors, which are punishable by a fine. But instead of a fine, defendants were sentenced to community service, jury duty and sometimes ordered to write essays or letters of apology about their offense, Municipal Juvenile Court Judge Melissa Madrigal said. Madrigal, who spent a couple years volunteering with the program, said the punishments made the defendants get involved and also served as an educational tool on the justice system, Madrigal added. More than half of the cases were for traffic related offenses such as improper lane change or speeding. Other teens were sent to the court for violating curfew, disrupting class or fighting in school, according to court statistics. The program boasted a 96 percent completion rate. Teens who completed their sentences got much more than the benefit of a dismissed case. "It taught them responsibility and accountability and that there are consequences for your actions in this world," Hunter said. District Superintendent Scott Elliff said teen court has been a valuable program and stopping funding wasn't a board decision. The district had been using money from the Safe and Drug Free Schools program to help teen court each year, but federal funding has been on the decline. "Funding has been cut everywhere," Elliff said. "We had to cut $10 million from our budget to begin with." County Judge Loyd Neal said not funding the program this year was one of many tough decisions commissioners had to make. Each commissioner used to have about $25,000 to allocate to outside agencies. Every year some of the money was set aside for teen court, Neal said. But this year one of the budget cuts included slashing each commissioners amount to $20,000, which meant each commissioner had to re prioritize.
