    Default boot repair

    Hey folks:
    Last time I went wade-fishing, the ice cold water surrounding my foot let me know that I had a hole in my boot. It's a pair of hip-boots, and the hole was created by a crack on the front of the boot, right where the ankle meets the foot (I've done a lot of kneeling and crouching in these boots).

    Anybody have any tips about how such a hole might be repaired? It's a relatively new pair, so I don't want to just get rid of them, but it would have to be pretty strong, since I will continue to need to kneel and crouch, so there will be further stress on the crack. Any help would be great.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    I have had good luck with marine goop or shoo goo....and you can glob it on as thick as you want...be sure the site is clean and taper the edges.

    I keep a tube of Shoe Goo close at hand.

    Aquaseal. Get it and you'll be set.

    Aquaseal...
    It's the best repair goop there is.
    It is made specificly for wet wader repairs unlike Shoe Goo or Marine Goop.
