I am tempted just to epoxy it back in after a removing the shiney surface and then just using them for dog walking and bimbling.
So far as decent walks and snow I would be gutted if they failed half way up a big hill and had to walk back down in a loose rubbing boot
No idea what to do now for a new pair. Anyone have any recommendations for a full leather boot thats hard wearing? Like the look of altberg but at £160 they are a bit over budget.
Put a roll of ducttape in your pocket and you'll be fine if it fails again
