    Put it in a plastic bag, then put it in the freezer overnight. Slide a putty knife under the gum. It should pop off.

    Any remaining can be taken off with peanut butter.

    Put the shoe in the freezer then when the gum is frozen it will chip right off

    you can try putting the shoe in the freezer and when the gum freezes you should be able to scrape it off with something like a butter knife or putty knife, don't use a sharp tool as you could accidently injure yourself.

    I would try and freeze it with ice nd then that way you can scrape it off with a knife in one hardened peice instead of it still being in its gum consistancy.

    thats so annoying, i hate having to run like that cause u feel ur foot sticking to the ground over and over.

    hope it helps =]

    Use a piece of ice to harden it and scrape most of it off with a butter knife. Use a little lighter fluid and an old rag to remove the remainder.

    freeze it with an ice cube and when it is hard then pick it off with a dull butter knife.
