AngelusClear Shoe Cement, 4oz can (992-04-000)

My favorite Timberland boat shoes have this unfortunate tendency to have the rubber soles come off - about half of them do this eventually.Shoe Goop had long been the glue I used to re-attach the soles, but it wasn't very good, mainly because it took too long to dry and the bond wasn't very strong - while it was drying it also had a tendency to let the sole slide around out of position.Anyway, this stuff worked great. It dries very fast, and the sole stuck on and stayed in place immediately. I put some clamps and compression on and the glue was dry by the next day.Haven't tested the durability much yet, I'll re-post if the sole comes off.Anyway, not sure why so many people can't figure out how to use this glue properly.This is a VERY FAST DRYING elastic cement!It's not really a contact cement, and in any case I've never found contact cements to work like they are supposed to - apply to both sides, let dry slightly, then clamp the two parts. Usually the cement bond fails if you let it dry even partially, and so it is really always better to just clamp immediately.So, ignore all these low rating reviews posted by glue newbies who just don't know what they are doing.Correction to the Addendum: 12/1/2024Well, I said I would re-post if the sole came off again from the Timberland shoes, and, what do you know, I got my left - right mixed up and it turned out that it was the left shoe, which had never been glued, that had half the sole peel off. The right shoe was the one that had the sole come half off, and was the one I glued with this Angelus Cement back in February. And that sole is STILL INTACT!So, apologies to Angelus for the mistake. I did glue the sole of the left shoe with Barge's Cement, and so now I have a reference for comparison between the two.Back to a five star rating.

This is a shoe glue that actually works. Had others that failed after several wearings, this glue lasts ????, well it still is working and I have worn both sets of shoes dozens of times!

I've used this shoe glue on several shoes to reattach the sole to the leather upper. The glue works great. On my heavy use yard work boot the adhesive lasted several years until just recently I needed to use the glue again. I'm anticipating several more years use from the boot.

The product worked. Messy but one must be organized and patient .

I used this glue to stick a rubber sole to my Grant Stone boots with a leather sole.They seem to be holding up quite well so far.One thing to keep in mind is that the two parts to be glued needs to be stuck together immediately after applying the glue and clamped. They are not like the regular shoe cement where the glue needs to dry first before sticking the two parts together.During the first try, I applied a generous coat of glue on both the surfaces and let it dry for about 10 minutes and then joined them together, only to find that they don't stick together like the normal contact cement does.I then read the directions on the bottle to find that the two surfaces needs to be clamped together immediately after applying the glue on both the surfaces.Second time was a charm and I clamped the sole to the shoe for about 24 hours and it is stuck there quite well.How long will it last? Only time will tell but for now it is stuck for good.

Truly professional strength. Easy to apply with brush. Reassembled my entire sole along with carbon fiber arch support. NO ISSUES... (ShoGoo didn't last a day)

Didnt work on my sneakers. Glued my replacement rubber bottoms to my worn out sneakers. looked good when done and then fell off when I went hiking. Removed them and used"Shoe Goo" worked perfect. Been using the sneakers for a few weeks now and the replacement sneakers bottoms stay on perfectly.

I bought this to fix some tennis shoes and so far so good. I googled/youtube how to properly prepare my shoes to apply the glue that involves a heat gun and acetone (it didn't do a damn thing). And after applying the glue and using a heat gun, I clamped the parts together and let it sit. So far I've been on about 10 miles of run and its holding.
