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.

The product worked great on my wife's favorite old shoes. There have been no problems with it, and the sole stays on. I bought this on the recommendation of someone, but I don't remember their YouTube channel name.

The product does a very good job of re-cementing shoe soles that stay cemented!

Very good product, its like you take your shoe to the shoe maker .

This product does exactly what it claims it will do. I suggest wearing vinyl gloves because if you get it on your skin it won't wash off you will have to let it wear off.The only thing is, make sure that you do whatever you want to do right after you open the cam. Because after you put the lid on it is not gonna come back off. I even had it in a vice with a pair of channel locks. It was welded shut. I recommend this product.

Like many others, after using the product one time it hardened after one application. Its not worth 13 dollars for one application. Also the shoe continues to have issues and one application was not sufficient to fix the shoe.

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.

Directions were clear.
