Shoe Goo is solvent based, most silicone caulk is RTV, it sets by chemical reaction. Shoe Goo seems to have better adhesion.

There are products made as caulks and products made as adhesives, you need an adhesive. An all purpose product might not stick very well.

I was just wondering if any of the adhesives in the caulk sized tubes work because they are cheaper. Something like Liquid Nails.

The Shoe Goo stuff has a short shelf life. You pretty much need to get all your shoes together and fix them at once.

Nike stuff is horrible. Designed to self destruct. You fix one thing and the other thing breaks. Nike must use the cheapest adhesive in their Asian sweatshops.
