How do you get bubble gum off of shoes?

Just today, when I was walking in the parking lot, I got a wad of bubble gum stuck to my favorite Converse All Stars. I really wish people whould put their gum in the TRASH!! It;'s so disgusting and I want to get it off.

    Baby oil worked best, I tried elmers glue once and rolled it into a ball and somehow got the gum off.

    If it's on the bottom, step into some sand or dirt and scrub your shoe back & forth on cement. If it is on the shoe part I would use ice to freeze it and pick it off. Ice won't do any damage to your shoe, where other products will take out the cxolor or make it dull.

    Source(s): I have had it happen so many times.
