Boot Sole Tip

 

TRUE OR FALSE?
Campfires cause boot sole delaminations?
 
True. Sitting at the campfire with your feet towards the fire may make you comfortably warm, but your boot soles could be close to melting. This can easily cause failure of the
sole’s glue bond. If your boot soles are peeling, use Freesole® Urethane Adhesive for
a permanent fix.

    TRUE OR FALSE? Heavy duty mountain boots are obsolete for backpacking. True. But while the ultralight backpacking crowd (carrying 20 lb. packs) get by on trails using trail running shoes or even good sport sandals, most folks carrying heavier loads should have some ankle support. Well-made light hikers with a 3/4 or full-height ankle collar are usually enough for moderate loads on most trails.
