Barge All-Purpose Cement: Waterproof Glue for Rubber, Leather, and Shoes - 1 Qt (0.946 L) (32 Ounces)

Eric Tavitian: Barge shoe contact cement is a very professional product. I have been using different contact cements over the years and Barge has proven to be something that I continually use over and over. This quart sized can of Barge is the best price per ounce that I can get on Amazon. If the soles of a pair of shoes begins to separate, this is the way to get it repaired properly. Be sure to follow the directions completely. Make sure each surface is perfectly clean before applying the glue. Sometimes I'll use acetone or lacquer thinner on the old glue surface, applying it with a 1-in chip brush to reactivate the old glue and get it soft enough to apply new glue to. This process will allow it to obtain a solid bond between the surfaces that you are regluing. You can bond the two surfaces together but only after it's completely dry. I would probably wait a half an hour to an hour before contacting the two surfaces together with high pressure. You can use a hammer to contact it down properly or you can use a clamp to clamp them together over the length of the repair. If done properly the repair will last as long as the shoes.

Lori French: I tried another “quality” brand to put rubber soles on the moccasins that I make and the soles would always come off in spots no matter how hard I worked at putting them on.
Tried this and haven’t had one bit of sole come off. If you’re glueing soles, this is the glue for you

Ryan: I have a ton of specialized hiking and mountaineering boots that get used intensively for short periods and then sit for long periods and as a result many have sole glue that has failed while the rest of the boot is in its prime. In my experience Shoe Goo is a band aid at best and usually fails within a few uses. When used properly (look up videos on shoe repair with Barge) this stuff has in some cases outperformed even the original glue on some of my shoes.

My suspicion is that in order to improve working conditions for the factory workers some shoe manufactures appear to use less aggressive/toxic glue. I fully sympathize and to be honest I hate using this stuff because of how toxic it is but with the right precautions the risks can be mitigated and the results are usually permanent.

My advice is to use this outdoors, use the best mask you own or a respirator and consider setting up a fan to one side pointing between your face and work area so as to remove fumes from the evaporating Toluene that makes this stuff so nasty.
