Method 1: Isopropyl Alcohol
To start, dab an absorbent cloth or cotton ball in a mild solvent such as isopropyl alcohol. Gently blot the glue stain with the cloth or cotton ball. The alcohol should break down the glue and make it easier to remove. Keep blotting until all the glue is absorbed. You may need to apply additional alcohol to ensure that the glue is completely dissolved.
Method 2: Freezing
If the glue still isn’t budging, try freezing it with a plastic freezer bag filled with ice cubes. Place the bag over the glue stain and leave it on for five minutes. Remove the bag and gently scrape off hardened glue with a butter knife. Make sure to be careful not to scratch your shoe. If necessary, you can repeat this process a few times until all glue is removed.
Method 3: WD-40
Another method that can work is applying some WD-40 to the glue stain. Spray a small amount onto the glue and then rub it in with a soft cloth. This should help to soften the glue, allowing you to easily wipe it away. Afterward, wash the area with warm water and a mild detergent to get rid of any leftover WD-40 residue.
Conclusion
Gluing objects to your ASICS shoes can lead to some pesky glue stains, but with these methods you can easily remove them. Be sure to test each method on a hidden area of the shoe before attempting to remove the glue from the affected area. With the right technique, you can restore your shoes and make those glue stains a thing of the past!
