Was another post just a while back about gluing soles back on hunting boots..Someone with more shoe repair experience than most here suggest a brand of rubber cement.. Which right now I don't recall the name of??? I have done lots of repairs on the Burly type boots and waders mostly using Aqua-Seal. If I was going to do a sole like you speaking of. After knowing there is still good water proof Rubber cement out there. I'd probably clean it real well make sure it's dry. Do the rubber cement thing, then run the edge with Aqua-seal. I've glued soles back on with just the aqua-seal. But I believe the Rubber cement may have more flex and hold up better in long run.

Mine separated at the seam by the toe the new foam they use is a joke it rips very easy. I have boots I paid a lot less for that lasted as long or longer.

Cabela's 02 octane boots are the best I have found they have 3X the padded liner and better rubber for around $100 they last about a hard year but the Lacrosse did not last any longer. I'm hard on boots I wear them about every day for 6-7 months around barbwire and dead cedar brush so they take a beating.

I looked on the website and am not for which ones you are talking about. I love the alphaburly's. My wife needs a pair of warm boots and was going to buy her some alphaburly's, but will take a look at these cabelas ones too.

I have used Lacross trappers for a long time. I get a new pair every year. They last two years but have patches in them by the end of the first year. So I always have a spare in case I get wet- ask Art about that (ha ha on me)They seem tough to me, are this years ones different? Made different or with different materials??????

It's a foam rubber now not very tough it rips easy the liners are paper thin just more money for a cheaper product! IMO
