Cement shoes traditionally involves a victim placing each foot into the two spaces of a Cinderblock , which is then filled with wet cement. When the cement hardens, the victim is thrown into a river, lake or even the ocean.

Although gruesome images of the victim's helplessness when encased in cement shoes lend substance to this threat, it is unclear how often such a cumbersome and time-consuming method of execution was actually used, outside of Hollywood movies.
