    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.
