Answers:
freeze the gum somehow - get it as cold as possible, it will harden and be easy to pry off.


rub dirt on it and scrape it off
rub dirt on it, or wash your shoes
no kidding, peanut butter...
Rub the bottom of the shoe on gravel. (that's what I did and it came rIght off )
lic it
try goo gone, or rub ice on it to make it hard, then pull it off, or try peanut butter, it breaks it down, i haven't tried it, but heard it works :) good luck!
rub your shoe in some dirt untill it coats the gum. eventually you should be able to pull it off. another trick is to use ice cube which freezes the gum and then you can pick it off.
There are two different products (virtually identical) that are available at many grocery stores, most hardware stores, and virtually every Home Depot or Lowe's, that will work like magic: One is called "Goo Gone" and the other is called "Goof Off." Both are kind of a clear, oily liquid in a small, rectangular can (one is yellow, the other is white, can't remember which is which) and you just squirt a little on the gum, and start picking away at it. If you get to a point where the gum is starting to feel sticky again, squirt a little more product on it. You don't need much, but even if you used a whole can on it, I think it's only around $3.00 or so. This stuff works so good, I have even used it to get gum out of my daughters' hair.

Hope this helps - good luck!
