Cement Shoes strain guide
Cement Shoes is an indica-leaning hybrid made from Animal Cookies, OGKB and Wet Dream. The name is a fair hint: people know it for a heavy, sit-down feel, along with a buttery, earthy smell that has a little diesel in it. It's also sold as Concrete Shoes or Concrete Slippers.
Where does Cement Shoes come from?
The cross is usually written as Animal Cookies with a mix of OGKB and Wet Dream, and Canadian producers list the same three parents on their packaging. Some cuts write the parents in a different order, but the three names stay the same.
Grow Diaries credits the seed company Cult Classics Seeds with the strain. Beyond that, the story behind it isn't well documented, and Wet Dream's own background is less settled than the other two parents.
What does Cement Shoes smell and taste like?
Most people describe it as buttery and earthy, with a diesel edge and a bit of citrus on top. It leans more savoury and rich than sweet.
Published terpene results put caryophyllene first, followed by limonene and humulene. Caryophyllene brings the peppery, earthy depth, limonene the citrus lift and humulene a dry, woody note.
Cement Shoes effects: what people report
People most often call Cement Shoes relaxed and tingly, with a happy, sometimes giggly start that settles into a heavy body feel. Several reviews mention couch-lock, so most save it for the evening.
These are reports, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, the amount and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes come up most, and some people mention feeling dizzy or anxious.
How strong is Cement Shoes?
It's a high-THC strain. Strain listings put it around 19% to 22% THC, while some Canadian producers list their cuts much higher, around 28% to 32%. CBD is close to zero.
That spread is a good reason to read your label rather than trust the name. Start small and give it time, especially with the stronger batches. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what the numbers mean.
Buying Cement Shoes in Canada
More than one Canadian producer grows Cement Shoes, and each cut can smell and test a little differently. Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower holds onto that buttery smell better.
You may see it as dried flower or pre-rolls, sometimes labelled with its parents (Animal Cookies x OGKB x Wet Dream).
