Ever heard that old song, "Does your chewing gum lose it's flavor, on the bedpost overnight"? For dog shit, coat the bottoms with lighter fluid, set ablaze, wait about 30 seconds, then stomp the remnant off on concrete - Anything else?

And what > about the ever annoying bubble gum off the soles? Well, I just pour out about 5 lbs/ of Kitty Litter on the floor of the garage and start kickin' it around. That way my boots and the garage floor are fresh as the day is long. Another technique is to drag my feet on freshly rained on roads, scraping off any unwanted peg slime in the process of evaluating the available traction.
