May want to go with light coats of that Track Bite:

In truth, however, few (if any) crewmen take these precautions. Most slather the stuff on with a paintbrush, paying little heed to spillage or adequate ventilation. Off the record, one ACT Late Model crewmember admitted that before the softener ban took effect in 2000, he personally went through four pairs of sneakers in a season, after tire softener ate the bottoms. |

| I know this thread is about the "rivers" but has anyone seen the 5-10 "Camp 4's". They have the same sole as the canyoneers but they are a low-top that looks a little more stylish. I would have to agree that I choose function over form and the canyoneers aren't the best looking shoe but once you have that stealth rubber under foot its hard to complain about looks. How does that shoe goo work? Do I want to put a thin layer on or do I just coat it up nice and thick? Anyway, if anyone knows anything about the Camp 4's, speak up. |

I put it over all the exposed stitching on any new canyoneering shoe. It really extends the life of some shoes.

| Cool, I will give it a try. Does it effect how the canyoneers drain? |

Nope... the canyoneers actually have recessed stitching so the Shoe Goo advantage is not as great. The idea behind coating the stitching is you are armour coating the thread so it does war through on tight canyon foot jam type stuff. You can also Shoe Goo any other high wear spot on the shoe.
