Gum on your shoe

Ever find yourself in a sticky situation like this? Well if you haven't then kudos to you. As for me its happened often and it happened last night! I was so mad as it was the first day I had worn my brand new vans. Usually when I step in gum I chalk it up as a loss because it is THAT HARD to get it off!!!! So late last night I was determined to get this off my brand new shoe. I googled, of course,  how to get gum off your shoe. The first thing I tried was to take a plastic bag and stick it where the gum is and then put the shoe in the freezer for 1-2 hours. The gum is supposed to harden and then when you pull the bag off the gum should come too. Well this didn't work for me. So back to google. I tried to bleach the gum off, soap and water of course, I tried to pick it all out with tweasers. Finally I found something helpful on google. FINGER NAIL POLISH REMOVER!!!! They need to rename it to gum remover because IT WORKED!!!! Something in the remover literally dissolves away the gum! I took my remover and a towel and went to work. Being careful to not get it on the upper shoe part. Sure enough after enough rubbing the remover on it was GONE! I was so happy! And I had to share with you guys because I know I can't be the only person this happens to! I totally didn't think to get a before and after photo and I so wish I did because I swear you can't even tell there was ever any gum there! So, happy removing guys! This is totally a sole saver!
