Premium Quality Suede Sheets 8.5"x12" with Super-Strong self-Adhesive Backing. Ideal for Making Peel-and-Stick (self-Stick, Stick-on) Soles for Dance Shoes, [SUEDE-DIY-r01].

This is a life-saver! I've used it on several pairs of my dance shoes, and it has extended their life so that I don't have to constantly buy new shoes that are in great condition apart from the worn out soles. And it's a much quicker, more hassle free option than taking my shoes to a cobbler to replace the soles for me. I've purchased both the gold tan and light tan colors, and each of them match my shoes very well. They aren't an exact match to the original color of the shoes' suede, but I didn't expect them to be. I use the gold tan on my dark tan satin rhythm shoes, and the light tan on my flesh satin court shoes as well as my tan leather practice shoes, and unless you're looking at them up close you can't tell that anything has been stuck onto the bottom of the shoes. The suede is easy to cut-I just traced the bottom of my shoes onto the paper on the back, and that has worked beautifully for me. Definitely take your time and apply them to the shoes as precisely as possible, just to avoid having an annoying imbalance on the bottom of your shoes, and try to stand in the shoes immediately after applying. This way you know if you need to adjust the new suede, and then putting the weight in the shoes for 5 or 10 minutes help to adhere the glue to the bottom of the shoe. The glue has held up extremely well... The original bottoms of my shoes were completely smooth from wear, and I'm sure had a ton of dust, but the glue has held the suede on flawlessly. I've had it on the bottoms of my shoes for over 4 months, and it is the same as when I first stuck it on. Now, instead of throwing out a well-loved, comfortable pair of shoes after a few months, I can restore the soles at home and extend the wear of my favorite shoes. I'll definitely be buying this again!

This suede is the perfect solution for turning my comfortable street shoes into wood-floor-ready dance shoes. I've recently gotten back into salsa dancing, after over 20 years of not dancing, and I immediately hurt my right foot from practicing too many right spins in a row. High heels are now my nemesis. But most ladies dance shoes are narrow, and quite unsupportive, and I can't stand even 10 minutes of wearing them. My solution has been to find comfortable supportive shoes that don't have an excessively sporty tread, and add this suede to the bottoms. My shoes are Dansko and taos brands, both of which are smooth enough to give the adhesive a good amount of surface area to stick. The adhesive works great, so long as I am dancing on a relatively slick surface. I tried one dance on a low-pile carpet and afterwards could feel the suede starting to get rolled up along one of the edges. But wood, smooth concrete, and those portable vinyl dance floors all work great. Depending on the size of your foot, the size of your shoe, and the amount of your shoe you want covered, you can likely get 2-3 pairs worth of coverage out of one sheet. I only apply the suede to the area of the shoe that is under the ball and arch of my foot, never to the heel area. This both reduces the amount of suede I need, but also makes it so that my step can be stable for most of the time, but torque is reduced on a turn - good for protecting your joints! I've seen people sell dance socks that you can slip over street shoes - or I suppose you could even repurpose a pair of your old existing socks by cutting off the toe and slipping them over your shoes. However, I can't help but think that option is extremely unattractive. Adding suede to the bottom of your shoes is unobtrusive and simple - although I did admittedly buy some of the red suede thinking I could make my shoes into faux Louboutins. Don't bother! After use, the suede just picks up the dirt and dust of the floors and the original color of the suede is totally lost. I'm sure there are some really great cobblers who could convert running shoes into dance shoes by sanding down the tread first - but that option might be as expensive as the shoes themselves. This adhesive-backed suede is an affordable alternative, and not as damaging to the shoe if you one day want to remove the suede.

This is an incredibly good quality real suede, with a good glue on the back. I didn’t want to risk it bc I was in the middle of performances so, I added P600 glue on top and it worked wonderfully. I wanted to keep using my old pair of shoes that I love bc I cannot find that model anymore. I cut the shape a bit larger, pasted it and, with super-sharp small scissors (think the ones that guys use for their mustache, or surgeon’s iris scissors) I trimmed the extra suede. It was not difficult even though, the results are totally amateurish and a bit sloppy to a close look. With that said, the shoes feel fantastic! I saved my old shoes. Don’t hesitate in buying this brand for any of your needs. It’s real suede of a very high quality and the perfect thickness and flexibility that we need for dancing. I made the entire sole of the shoe, which is harder. The pictures are already after using them for 3 shows, because everything looks good when new, the key is when they last.

I bought these in 2017 and added them to a pair of lightweight flat bottomed Adidas sneakers. It worked well for a while, then the edges stay to peel away. I superglued the edges in place (around 2018) and have been using them ever since with no problem. These are the best dance shoes I’ve had in 30+ years of dancing. They’re lightweight and padded so I can dance longer and my feet hurt less (or not at all) at the end of a long night. It’s now 2026 and the still in solid shape. I’m now trying to my wife to switch to suede bottomed sneakers to save her feet too. Women’s dance shoes look great, but let’s face it, they’re not good for the feet.

EDIT: I just bought my 2nd set since they are getting shiny slippery and one of the edges is starting to come loose (after 4 months of dancing in them twice a week, and accidentally dancing in them outside on a stone patio one day). I love these but am bummed with the shipping! Everything was perfect the first time but this time they sent it folded in half, so there was a permanent crease down the middle. I asked to exchange it since I didn’t want to risk that area detaching from my shoes prematurely, but the replacement just arrived with the same exact problem, only it was even more creased and a little crumpled. Hopefully 3rd time’s a charm to get a sheet that arrives flat. ****** I’m using these with Keds for swing dancing — so far I’ve put maybe 15-20 hours wear into them and they’ve been fantastic. Great option for suede soles if you’re not ready to buy expensive dance shoes or want to use your own sneakers! Mine have zero signs of anything coming loose, if anything dancing has completely sealed them into the soles. The only two little things - it would be nice if they sold a charcoal grey option since that’s what color they eventually turn anyway, ha. And the adhesive was smelly when applying and makes my dance bag smell a little, but it’s pretty minor. It’s not noticeable at all wearing them. Overall, definitely recommend!

I love this product, it really worked like a charm on my slippery character shoes. They were not difficult for me to apply, even on a last minute 1:00 am first-time attempt! I really recommend making a paper pattern of your shoe, rather than just tracing onto the suede though. The first shoe I just traced, and it worked fine, but it was a little hard to trace the arch of the shoe. The second shoe, I made a pattern, and that shoe came out cobbler perfect. On the first shoe, the edges were slightly rougher, but not enough to make even a perfectionist like me re do it ;) I followed the instructions to wear them a little and put weight on the new sole, and they held up perfectly to 4 hours of vigorous contra dance the next day. They really look great, too - just like a new fresh pair of shoes :) These character shoes had been sitting on my shelf since my first sad time of trying to dance in them, the slick sole was downright hazardous to my health! Now, with my new suede soles, they are perfect. I saved the pattern so I am good to go whenever I need to replace the sole. I bought the 3-pack, since it was such a better deal financially, and I have a great note about the seller. When my order promptly arrived, I was dismayed to see only 2 sheets of suede in the pack marked 3 pack. I had a sinking feeling, since the company would really just have to take my word on it, and I had waited several weeks before I opened the pack. To my great pleasure, the owner answered my email the very same day apologizing for the error, and said she would replace it. I received the missing sheet of suede in the mail a few days later. I was so pleased with how simple and perfect this stick on suede worked I would have favorably reviewed it anyway, but the customer service I received was just icing on the cake. Highly recommend!

This stuff really sticks great to the bottom of my tennis shoes that I use for outdoor dancing on cement and pavement. It allows me to easily do spins and turns and has lasted well over a year of weekly dancing indoors as well. Incredibly durable, highly recommend.

I followed directions and applied this self-adhesive suede to my dance shoes. The suede pieces started to slide off of the shoe sole after dancing for 15 minutes on smooth wood floor.

Product is good, however shipping from US arrived n cleared custom for 2 weeks waiting for pick up, don't know where had gone wrong? Item arrived one day after the dead line. Wanted to cancel and apply for a refund.

Have used before. Use it for backing on copper bracelets.

I stuck 1 piece onto my pair of Nike sneakers (which has a lot of ripples and grooves) and it has stuck nicely. I now dance in 100% comfort 5 days a week thanks to these and it has saved my feet as no dance shoes fit my wide feet.

A bit expensive but less expensive than buying dancing shoes. Application was easy, on cleaned sole (sanded, wiped down with isopropyl rubbing alcohol). The key is a clean sole. I applied to running shoes I had used once in dance class so the shoes were not brand new when I applied the suede. Second picture is the suede after one dance class and brushed clean with a brass wire brush. There was no movement of the suede nor any lifting on the edges. The glue seems to have done its job well. I cut and trimmed a pattern and used the same pattern, flipped over, for both sides of the shoe. I can do 2 pairs of shoes (men's 7-1/2) from one sheet. On other people's comments. the product looks like and feels like suede. It has no odor at all, neither leather nor synthetic. There were no instructions in the package so look at the manufacturer's website for detailed instructions on how to apply. As with any adhesive, a clean surface is key. If there is product failure, it will be from uncleaned soles or material to which the glue won't bond. [update] Picture with the brass wire brush shows the suede after 3-1/2 to 4 hours of salsa practice, the unbrushed side shows the debris picked up from the dance floor. After brushing, sued looks like when new. No signs of wear yet. No sign of suede separating from shoe. Product works well.

I used this product for my dancing shoes. The product was easy to use after googling how to add suede soles DIY on YouTube.
