Hello there! How can I help you today?
This is embarrassing, but can you tell me if or how I can remove gum from the sole of this boot?
No worries, it happens to the best of us! Let me take a look for you.

Take a butter knife, and put a generous glob of peanut butter all over the gum. After 10-15 minutes (or more or less, depending on the softness of the gum), it should start to soften and incorporate with the peanut butter. After this happens, scrape it off, and then clean the rest of the shoe with soap and water to get any remaining gum/peanut butter off. Can I help you with anything else today?
Okay, I'll try that. I just don't want to damage the boots!
This will not damage them at all!
Okay, great, you were very helpful.
Glad to hear, have a great day!
