does it work good for gluing rubber grip pad to leather shoe soles?

Although, I've never tried to use Show Goo for gluing rubber grip pad to leather shoe soles, I am 99.9% sure that Shoe Goo will work as long as the bottom of the leather shoes are free of any dirt or oil. It wouldn't hurt to scuff up the bottom of the leather soles with a coarse grit sand paper so that you can achieve a better bond.P.S.- My Grandfather was a shoe maker for more than 40 years and this stuff works just like the stuff that he'd bring home from the factory.

What about colors? I need brown. Does it come in colors?

The colors available in the buying selection is Black or Clear.

Will this stick a sole that has come off completely from the rest of the shoe?

It does not have adhesive qualities. The product is more like shoe sole material in gel form that dries solid, but rubbery.

Can this product replace a small rectangular heel protector that came off the shoe and was lost? Can it build up the heel?

I would say "Maybe." It may depend on the base material to which you are applying it. It is possible they have changed the formulation, but here is my experience. Years ago I was a pretty avid runner. The heels of my running shoes would wear very quickly even though the shoes still had plenty of life. Every month or two I would use Shoe Goo to build the heels back up to level, a layer about 1/8" at the deepest area around the edge. The patch would last through another 200-300 miles, and I would do it again. One of the hardest parts was peeling off the old patch! By that time there was usually a loose edge somewhere that I could get a grip, but it was REALLY hard to pull off. Now, one thing I always do when applying adhesives, including Shoe Goo, is to clean the area well, then, as a last step, wipe it thoroughly with alcohol. This removes any traces of oil. Let it dry for a few minute and apply Shoe Goo. Unless the base material is just naturally resistant to adhesives, I do not see why it will not work for you. I have also used Shoe Goo to build up worn heels on dress shoes, re-glue loose soles, etc. For rebuilding a worn heel, where the thickest part of the patch is at the edge, I would simply apply plain old scotch tape to the side of the area, letting it extend above the surface 1/4" or so. This provides a form to keep the Shoe Goo from just running off. It is pretty thick goo so this is not always necessary, but thicker applications will ooze. If are trying to fill, say, 1/8" or more I would prop the shoe(s) upside down to keep the Shoe Goo area as level as possible, and leave them for a couple of days. Thin applications cure pretty fast, but thicker ones may need more time. I cannot swear it will work for your application, but I used it as described above on the heels of heavily-used running shoes MANY times. Even on running shoes, where the heels take most of the wear and tear, Shoe Goo NEVER failed. Now if the spot you are trying to fill is really thick, over 1/8", I would do that in two thinner layers, allowing the first to cure thoroughly before applying the second.
