chemando Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I was fishing on the weekend and the soles from both my boots fell off. Any experience with reattachign them? I was thinking about contact cement? They are Simms, not sure the exact model but they are entry level boots. Any chance one of the Simms dealers could help me out? The other option is to just get new boots. I believe Montana will be banning felt starting Oct 1, 2012 (can anyone confirm this?) so I was thiking about getting rubber soled boots anyway. Thanks.

Crogg Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 If you wanna repair them, I have glued felt soles with marine epoxy with great success... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kutney Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 The new Korkers are pretty cool. Worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhad Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Chota's are the end all be all boot. I've now got well over 200 trips on mine with out any issues.... I've had korkers that don't make it to that mark. As Jeremy said get some CHOTA SLTs and forget about boot problems. Springbrook distributes them in the province (same place as TFO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 "Barge cement" is what the climbers use for their shoes!! P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemando Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 I tried the Marine Epoxy and it seems to have worked well. Went down to the Highwood yesterday and the boots stayed intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDoctor Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I bought a pair and really love them. Is the BOA lace system on the new Korkers any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiasson Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 The sole came right off one of my Korkers as well. A shoe repair guy charged me 12 bucks to fix it and they're back in service. I love the fit of Korkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
