Barge is wonderful with a caveat. My husband repaired his heavy court ren fair boots several years ago and the place where he used the Barge still is going strong. The problem with Barge is that it can be dangerous if you don't use it outside in good ventilation - it causes woozy. It's better than Shoe Goo but hard to find as many stores have pulled it off their shelves. LynnD
