Re: [Texascavers] [texascavers] Boot toe guard repair
Buy a pair of Bata Boots. Indestructible toes. Perhaps, not the grippest soles but ok. The French boots have a much better sole but overall not as tough. Could be wrong on that. Frenchies also cost $75 + rather than $25 including postage.

Re: [Texascavers] [texascavers] Boot toe guard repair
First, either start with a *good* cleaning of your boots (or better yet, start with a new pair), then coat with a few layers of Aquaseal - all over the toes and back to around the heel. It's quite likely the Aquaseal will outlast the rest of your caving boots. Good luck!
