2 problems.
1.
I have worn boots all of my life. In the past 10 years I have noticed a new problem.
The boot soles / midsoles would come apart whether you wore them or not. I have had this happen with Vasque and Saloman.
The foam and glue decomposes in many newer style boots. This makes buying spare boots to put back ineffective and a waste of money.
My older boots of traditional design, Whites logging boots do not decompose like this.
2.
I need boots that will provide a solid base for custom orthotics. Too soft insoles, midsoles made the orthotics not effective.
Any help ?
Thanks.
