Anybody know the best way to patch spike holes in the sides of these? Don't ask.

Inner tube patch kits work well...
Not yet.
Oops, Strike that. I believe I patched the green pair and it would have held, except for the injury was a seam ripping out. What worked the best was innertube, put on with sole saver? That stuff they sell at saw shops here, then I covered that with more of the sticky stuff and pink duct tape stuck with the sticky stuff. I believe that would work well if just a hole and not a seam thing.
Shoe goo did not work.
Insert a bottle or somethig inside to make the foot part hold still. You can drink what is in the bottle afterwards. A can will also work.

yup ,the link works ...... It will glue leather back together also ..... It,s really amazing stuff .......
That name came to me later. Yes, I used Free Sole. Recommended by hooktenders too.
Free Sole...okay. Thanks Slowp and Tramp...appreciate it.
If it doesn't work I'll try Jacob's idea with the bike patch. Maybe I'll combine the two.

:agree2::agree2: I have used it a bunch too...works great. Another alternative is some similar stuff called "aquaseal".
throw them away and buy new ones.
Nope. Patch them and they will have character.
Plus you'll have saved a hundred bucks, not considering the cost of the Freesole stuff. Or colored duck tape should you choose to reinforce whatever.

Yup...that's the way we do it. Maybe all those rich NH loggers can afford to throw away repairable boots but us poor Left Coast types just have to make do. :hmm3grin2orange:

Wish I had a picture of one of my pairs of Kulien corks...they have LOT'S of character!
if they are a year or 2 old i say toss 'em. besides they are a tax write off.
:hmm3grin2orange: I have enough tax write offs.
And why toss a perfectly good pair of boots that a couple of bucks worth of repair can fix? If I used your logic as a guide I'd buy a new 660 every time mine got dirty and push my D6 over a cliff whenever it was time for new filters. Oh, and there's a cracked window on the crummy...maybe I'll just bop on over to the Ford dealer and get a new one. Or two. What the hell...it's write-off.
There is a logger with similar or the same size feet as mine. He was eying my Kuliens last week. Made me a bit nervous!
My Vikings were also visible but he has a pair of those.

.
. It,s ok , Too many Red Bulls ?????? Did you get some of that sticky stuff yet .. I really recommend wearing those thin gloves when you are using the stuff ...It is STICKY ......
Thanks for the tip. I can't find that stuff anywhere around here so I'll order some on line.
In the mean time I'm using Slowp's remedy...duct tape.
Try to use a coordinating color. Yellow or green would be nice. Green might make it so your feet don't show up in the brush though, and then you might cut your boot. So, I think yellow would be the best.

Silver...it's all I had. It's also good for mending chaps.
