Absolutely amazing stuff - saves $100's in avoidance of new boots!
By J. McSwain
I have used this product for some time now, and it does what it claims to do - save your boot heels and soles. It does not come off, it is fairly dense and abrasion resistant, and is easy to use. Hot tips: use a permanent magic marker to color the heel edge where the clear Freesole shows, and be sure and get the Primer/Accelerator for a secure bond. I have to wear orthopedic arch inserts, and subsequently grind down the outer edge of each heel in about 2 months. I have paid from $35 to $75 to get them repaired (when I can find a shop that will work on Vibram soles). Now, in about 30 minutes of prep and application time, I can get 3 or 4 patches out of one tube of Freesole.

An invaluable product - versatile and durable
By Richard Middleton
I first found Freesole when our daughters needed repairs on their stiletto heels. From there, I graduated to correcting excessive wear on the edges of heels or soles on our other shoes. It's also great for securing the loose ends of broken or unfinished stitches. Since Freesole will flow to any required shape, I branched out to filling in broken sections on my Volvo radiator grille, fixing loose powder baskets to ski poles, and many other uses. Our family has a lot of books: Freesole is an excellent means of reconstructing dilapidated book bindings (I am currently using it to reconstitute the spines on 80-year-old sheet music). In fact, it's good for just about any permanent repair where you can keep it in place while it sets up.

There are some things you need to be aware of. To form shapes, or hold loose edges together, use removable paper tape, and peel off the tape before the Freesole is totally set. The cured material is slippery when wet, so when f orming soles and heels mix in a little fine grit (usually available at the side of the road); if you are careful you may even be able to form a "Vibram" sole, using a 10D nail! The edges will slowly change color to brown; if that worries you, they can be covered with the paint used for plastic models (you can match most shoe colors; otherwise, matte black is a good general solution). Any smears or spills must be cleaned up as soon as possible, using rubbing alcohol; once set, they won't come off. And if you leave a tube uncapped, even briefly, it will quite quickly absorb moisture from the atmosphere and be set solid the next time you want to use it...

Altogether, an essential product to have in any workshop.

Excellant Product
By 734toddb
I wanted to take the time to share my comments on Freesole. I purchased this product to repair a cheap pair of boots I purchased about a year ago. The soles on both boots started to pull away leaving me to either trash the boots or repair them. After searching the internet for some time I came across Freesole and decided to give it a try. I applied Freesole to each sole and used duct tape to hold the sole in place and let dry overnight. The next day I inspected the area's where Freesole was used and was surprised how durable and strong this product is when dry. Still being a little skeptical I even tried to pull the sole away from the boot using some force and the sole wouldnt budge. I have since been wearing the boots for three weeks now and the Freesole is still holding. I dont write alot of reveiws but thought this product deserves it. One thing to keep in mind, the product dries very glossy so be careful not to get any on area's that are highly visible.
