Sugru improving the comfort of a pair of shoes

Ever had a pair of shoes that you love but are just uncomfortable then Sugru a sort of silicone clay could be the answer not only that Sugru helps you make things, softer, stronger, dryer, safer, better, repaired, comfier, quieter the list is endless.

Sugru is like modelling clay when you take it from its pack. Once it’s exposed to air, it cures to a tough flexible silicone overnight using the moisture in the air.

Sugru is designed to stick to as many other materials as possible. It forms a strong bond to aluminium, steel, ceramics, glass and other materials including plastics like Perspex.

Sugru is resistant from -60°C to + 180°C. It gets hot and cold but it won’t get softer or harder or melt.
Sugru is silicone, so it’s completely waterproof and durable outdoors. It’s easy to clean with soap and water, oh and it’s fine with sea water too!

When Sugru cures, it’s flexible rather than rigid. This means that you can repair things that need to be able to move like textiles, cables, or shoes.

Once it’s cured, Sugru is pretty much like other silicones – durable in the harsh soapy conditions of your washing machine and dishwasher. Source: Sugru.

Currently they’ve sold out and I’ve not been able to buy a batch so you’ll have to take their word for it – I’m waiting for their next batch there’s a pair of my wife’s shoes crying out for an application.

Hat Tip: Springwise.
