Wading boot repair

#1 Post by ATF »

The felt sole is coming away from my wading boot, anyone any ideas how to fix it back on? Don’t think superglue will work. would putting a few screws through the felt and into the sole be a good solution??

Tackle shop might get them re-soled. Failing this get some "serious glue" in b&q. Are they still under warrenty?

SERIOS STUFF IS THE PROPER JOB BUT MAKE SURE IT IS FULLY CLEANED OUT OF ALL SALT WATER RESIDUE BEFORE USING IT
I have not fished in two years hoping to change that this year with anything ?
