Smooth Criminal Timberlands

One of the boots of a pair of treasured Timberland hikers had the out-sole come loose, so I took some Gorilla Glue and pored it between the rubber and the front of the shoe. I then balanced the boot on the front tip so that the weight would keep the gap pressed closed while it cured.

What I didn’t account for was the fact that Gorilla Glue foams and expands as it dries. When I removed the support from under the boot days later, I found the boot fixed upright to the garage floor like a Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal Loafer.
