Thread: Lowa Tibet Rand

Yes the rand adhesion issue has been around for a few years in NZ. I had the same issue on my boots (Scarpa & Katmandu NTX) over the last decade. Tried Shoogoo, ados glue etc etc - all very temp type repair. Then heard about others using wader repair glue - called 'Stormsure' available in small and larger squeeze tubes. Finally found the glue that works - brilliant stuff. Available in H&F shops or buy online from other suppliers. The trick is to ensure your boot is dry - i used a match stick or small painters brush to push the 'stormsure' glue between the rand and leather. Dries overnight. Having used this method the last 10 years or so on two prs of my hunting boots, seems to work well without the rand peeling. And I am hunting in tahr country/screes at times. Make sure after the 'stormsure' tube is opened, place in the freezer until required again - saves the remainder glue going off in the tube.
