Author Topic: Gum off leather shoes? (Read 349 times)

Anyone?

I don't know how it ended up there but coming out of lunch today I had gum on top of my shoe. It was a nice fresh piece too, but it had stuck to my shoe with much eagerness, and now I have gum on top of my shoe.

Anyone know a leather cleaner that will remove this? Or any other method?

Put your shoe in the freezer, chill for 2hrs or so, apply penny and scrape.

Yup, I was going to suggest that too.

And if the SO looks in the fridge, just tell her you are having 'filet of sole' later that night.

I got gum on top of my dress shoes. Took a sharp knife and scraped it off. being carefull not to take a big chunk out of the leather. Then polished em. Good as new.
