Introducing Shoe GOO II- Another Genius Invention By Eclectic Products!

Ever heard the old saying “Necessity is the Mother of Invention”? It’s no coincidence that some of the most innovative products at Willamette Valley Company were born out of a simple need. In fact, Shoe GOO, one of the most trusted brands of adhesives, was created in the early 1970s when a man named Lyman Van Vliet grew tired of having the soles of his shoes fall apart while playing tennis. The need for more durable tennis shoes inspired him to seek out a method to effectively repair them, and Shoe GOO Adhesive was born. 

Fast-forward to 2020 when Shoe GOO, a market leader of Eclectic Products, releases Shoe GOO II as an alternative for people who want to use a low-odor shoe repair product without giving up the superior performance qualities they expect from the original product.

Shoe GOO II uses a premium polymer technology that is designed for strong adhesion and all-weather performance. The product is crystal clear, offers superb UV and water resistance, remains permanently flexible, and has low odor, making it the perfect solution for repairing/protecting all types of footwear. Great for use on leather, canvas, suede, rubber, fabric and more! 

Eclectic Products manufactures market-leading brands of adhesives, patch/repair, and coatings products. Channels of trade include the hardware/home improvement, hobby/craft, mass merchant, automotive, food/drug, and industrial channels (among others). Their product line continues to evolve as a result of a desire to find new solutions to fit consumer and professional tradesmen’s needs. The Willamette Valley Company acquired Eclectic Products in 1988, now headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, with a manufacturing and shipping campus in Pineville, Louisiana.
