If you wet the glove or your finger with water the Shoe Goo will not stick to it which will make spreading it around easier.

If you insist on using shoe covers I recommend armoring them with Shoe
Goo, particularly the bottoms and toe area. They will not be destroyed
nearly so quickly that way.
Easiest way to do this is stretch some plastic wrap (from your kitchen)
over your shoes first. You may wish to stuff the shoes with some
newspaper to help hold their shape (this also can hold the plastic wrap
in place as you tuck it in the shoe). Then put the covers on the shoes.
Wear some thin gloves (latex if your not allergic) and smear the Shoe
Goo on the target areas. Work quickly because it thickens.
You should allow at least 12 hours for cure time and several days is
best. Do it in a well ventilated area because the stuff really stinks.

Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction...
One, it's completely impossible.
Two, it's possible, but it's not worth doing.
Three, I said it was a good idea all along.

Oh, and also my shoes have mesh and I don't want to get TOTALLY soaked in the first 30 minutes of what is sounding like an epicly wet and cold Mudslinger. Mostly that second reason. Really. Oh, and, uh, I'm asking for a friend. You wouldn't know him, I met him at Niagara Falls. Canadian...
