Some of these (super satisfying) before-and-after photos made my whole damn day. Does this make me old?
Promising review: "These are awesome! My husband and I worked in a kitchen for a few years, and our shoes would just smell so bad — between sweating from hours of running around and being on our feet, to the grease smells of the sea food truck. These worked amazing to keep the smell down. Our house went from stinking no matter what to not being able to smell anything at all." —Stewart Alexander Davis

Promising review: "I work in a hospital and am on my feet a lot. These insoles gave new life to a pair of shoes I was ready to chuck because the sole padding wasn't adequate anymore! They're very comfortable, I've been using them for a few months and I haven't noticed any breakdown yet, and I will definitely be buying them again." —Sam

Promising review: "Wow! I've got to say, this product is amazing! I picked this up because I just bought some all-white shoes and I want to make sure they stay that way forever. I tried out this cleaning kit on some older shoes that are a light grey, and it took off a lot of the dirt — it even took off a good amount of dirt and scuffs from the fabric. Amazing!" —Michael R.

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I have repaired so many things with it, including shoes! I had two pairs of shoes that I was going to discard because, although they were in generally good condition, cracks or splits had formed in the rubber soles. Then came Shoe Goo to the rescue! I bought some craft/Popsicle type wood sticks to give me better control over distribution and placement of the adhesive. It does come out pretty thick. I spread it into and around the cracks and splits and let it dry for 24 hours. Since then, I've worn the shoes numerous times and the Shoe Goo is largely intact. I have done some touchup work once, but only because I hadn't gotten the best coverage the first time around. I have probably added a year or more to the useful life of those shoes." —William

Promising review: "My daughter has feet that smell like something out of a damp, moldy dungeon. These have helped immensely to cut down on the foul odor in her room, where she keeps her shoes! Plus, the car is no longer filled with that putrid smell when she slips her shoes off! Win!" —mamaloves2read

Promising review: "I have expensive suede booties that I mainly wear to go out so they're subjected to rain, alcohol, and average bar grime. There's nothing worse than wearing something and stressing about it getting ruined. I used this product for the first time after a year of wearing my booties and still, these wipes removed a year of damage. They didn't ruin the suede and my booties feel soft again!" —AmazonShopper

Promising review: "This product is truly remarkable. I used these foot pads on heels that left me with significant foot pain. I wore these heels with foot pads last night, and I was dancing for two to three hours straight without any discomfort." —Priscilla R.

Promising review: "These erasers quickly remove scuff marks without a lot of effort. I recently used them on the white soles of my new tennis shoes (they had gotten brown and grimy from a camping trip). My tennis shoe soles are nice and white again and look much cleaner and nicer!" —Oakland Girl

Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING. I bought this for my husband, who, bless his heart, has the smelliest feet in the world. We tried everything in the past with little to no luck at keeping the stench at bay. After using this, his shoes remained smell-free over the past two months. That might not seem like much, but that is HUGE for us! His old shoes are also much less stinky." —Amazon Customer
