TIP: The online
Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

The Boots got hungry again thats two pairs in 2 months...

What a downer. Are they 2 months old?

You need some KT26s.

Aquaseal.
Warranty first, but then try Aquaseal. About the only adhesive that will hold for any length of time.

The variety of sounds will be extended beyond flippity flap after eating those canned beans...

Yep warranty claim for sure. Did you claim the first pair?

They are another pair from the wadrobe stash of boots, i have tried in the past silicone sealant and 3M rubber adhesive
with that only lasting one or two more outings so they all end up in the recycle bin after i keep the laces.
Even the reported unbreakable skate shoes are no longer holding and need a recharge.
I will give Aquaseal a go and it looks like i won't have to wait long...
P.S. ignore the food i just fed the magpies, they are messy.

There's still plenty of tread left on those soles, and heaps of life in the uppers. Chucking them in the bin is disgraceful.

I need assets not liabilities...

You could use them as herb pots...

Fixed my boots with Selleys Shoefix about 5 years ago after the soles had delaminated as per the first pic in this thread
and they are still going strong. Admittedly I havn't subjected them to prolonged walking in wet conditions as is common in Tassie.
