I'm
glueing back on the soles that came off my boots after the tree
planting at the Field of Dreams a couple of weeks ago. The boots are
probably nearly 30 years old, but not worn much because they don't have
any sole or toe protection, and I've worn out a few other pairs of
safety shoes and boots in the meantime. According to CAT Footwear, the
adhesive degrades (and also the soles. A new pair of safety shoes I had
in storage for 9 years only lasted three weeks after I started wearing
them).
