I need to fix the shoe's heel inserts so they don't slip around while walking. Is this good (strong enough and apply to any surface) for that?

I don't know. I use it on paper. If you want permanent, perhaps a strong glue. Sorry I'm not able to be of more help

I would think so, as long as you put gradual pressure on it, to avoid tearing the shoe. I used it on an 8 wide athletic / hiking shoe with excellent results, but tightened some, let is sit for 10-12 hr, then tried it and tightened some more.

I cannot quite picture your situation. The last time I used it (recently) was on a pair of shoes where the sole, about all of the front four inches detached itself from the shoe. I applied all along the edge under the edge of the shoe, pressed it down into position and smoothed out the excess. Let dry several days. Have since used them 8-10 hours a day for many many days with no problem. Hope this helps you. J

Yes. I used it to glue the sole of a shoe, later took the shoe to the shoe repair shop,when I picked the shoe up, he said he had to sand the glue I had used, it took a while for him to remove it.

Contact the company. I use it basically to repair soles of shoes, to hold them on the shoe.

I would think "no" since it dries on very smooth and shiny/glossy. The only chance you would have is to buy the additive that gives this product traction. If you do use this product for walking surfaces, I would suggest the additional additive for traction, anyway. Since you will want to apply tile/grout to it in your case, you too should benefit from the additive.

Yes, it should work. I shove this footfitter into every shoe. Heels, boots and flats. I am very happy with the product. It's well made and does the job. Hope this helps.

Definitely for regular shoes. I found that some shoes had a heel well that was even too wide for them and they just slid around a lot. Some tape fixed that but it was an obnoxious fix. In the end, I just ended up buying a full insole piece. They worked much better.

I used it for an insert in my shoe, it does not move, so can't answer that. It removes really easily with Duck Adhesive Remover.

If it is leather, yes it can be used on it. I have also used this on canvas shoes without any problems.

I have found it very helpful with some shoes, but not all. Heel height doesn't matter, it's mostly the cut and width of the shoe. It is definitely an item to have and it does make wearing some shoes easier.

Yes it will work, but the front part of the stretcher will not fit into the point of shoe. It will stretch the sides. I've used it for a few pair of pointy-toe heels for my self and friends.

That's a tough one. My Sperry's are pretty substantial at the back for support. I have used the product on my every day shoes and have luck with the product at the front of the shoe. Have you tried wooden shoe stretchers, along w/a product like this-might work.

The best way would be to try it on a test spot of the same acrylic paint, and then test it on old shoes of the same material, or a small hard to see area of your shoes. Good luck.

Actually, according to the great hive mind. It was originally developed for use on soles of shoes. With the advent of rubber soles it was subsequently used on saddles. I don't see any problem with using it on soles. Make sure they are clean and dry. When the product dries buff with a rag and they will be ok. Just my 2 cents.

Yes it is very good. just make sure you put on an even coat on both the halfsole and the shoes & let dry till just dry to the touch. The apply a second coat and let dry till tacky. Then join the shoe and halfsole together & working from center outward apply firm pressure

You mean like a knitted sock bottom to some no-slip rubber soles, or something similar? It should, but make sure you use some sandpaper on anything with a very smooth surface. I was able to glue a slick piece of leather to some cotton fabric, but the first time I tried, they came apart because I hadn't sanded the leather properly to give it a good surface to adhere to (it was nearly glass-like with how slippery and smooth the surface was before I roughed it up).
