Knelt down to fasten my gumboots today before work and noticed they’ve started to crack around the base of my big toes, which sucks since I’ve only used them about 30 times. Might do a warranty claim but also want to extend the life of these as much as I can. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Vulcanising glue and bicycle inner tube? Like a bike tyre patch. Just a theory though.
while we’re on the subject, are there any brands that make gumboots with wide toe-boxes?
I’m assuming you’re asking since you saw these have wide toe-boxes, but they’re Vaistoa brand. I don’t know how much I can recommend them owing to my own experience of their durability but a friend of mine is quite happy with his pair
yes, these seemed to be more convenient for somebody who’s used to barefoot shoes. Dunlop’s, which are everywhere, and all others that practically are copies of it, squeeze toes inwards :/
Shoe goo
Precisely what I came here to say. Several thin layers.
