Anyone has anyway to remove chewing gum totally and effectively from shoes' soles when one step on it? Any special chemicals needed?

WD-40 works fantastic. It will take it all off quickly.

Put the shoe in the freezer. Once the gum hardens (in a couple of hours) then peel it off the shoe.
Just make sure to put the shoe in a plastic bag so it soesn't stink up the food.

Put it in the freezer and allow the gum to freeze. Remove the frozen gum with a butter knife edge. If any residue is left, use any oil based product from your kitchen like mayo, peanut butter, butter, and or oil to rub the residue off, wipe clean!

If they are leather bottom shoes just put the shoe back on and scrape the spot over an abrasive area of concrete (in other words not a real smooth area of concrete). This also works well with smooth rubber-like soles. The trouble nowadays is that shoe manufacturers assume we all want "tire-tread" soles to scoop up mud and sand to bring into the house to get all over the linoleum and into the rugs. No one sells a good American-made shoe anymore.

Rub the gum with an ice cube until it "freezes" and then peel it off.
OR
Use Goo-Gone

I've heard of peanut butter, ( what a yucky mess, but it breaks it down) and, ice (makes the gum hard, and you chip it off)
