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.

It seems like I go through the toes of my caving shoes/boots faster
than any other part. Does anyone have good solutions for repairing or
making good toe guards for caving?

I have used Sof Sole Shoe Goo to repair hiking boots before and was
thinking I could just use that to affix some new rubber.

I also ran across Tuff Toe (basically polyurethane)

Anyone have some ideas or recommendations?

Thanks,

Simon

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!
