Good information.
Will the contact cement come off of your hands with just soap and water? Now if I could find some STRONG velcro to fix the straps. My reebok lift shoes have poor quality velcro. I have replaced it once and now need to do it again.
Thanks for the tip.

Sorry guys, but that deal fell through. We're working on another one.

Soap and water won't touch it. Wouldn't hold a shoe together very well if it did. You're on your own for the Velcro.
