   On my Tibet once the rand had peeled off it exposed the seam down by the sole. The stitching wore out through rubbing and the seam opened allowing water in and the boot to eventually fall to pieces.

   I run the lowa rangers. I find them the perfect balance of rigidity and weight. Each pair lasts me 4-5 years and I thrash them. Never sit them near a fire to dry them out.

   Anything with a PU foam midsole suffer from hydrolysis. Its the environment we use the boots in here. My Lowas have lasted 10+ hard years. https://lowa.co.nz/pages/hydrolysis

    I’ve only used the recommended cream and the rand has been perfect. It’s missing in spots from getting ripped off on rocks but that’s just wear and tear and age. I really wish they’d put the active...

    Not Lowa but similar issues and advice on how to repair. https://meindl.co.nz/pages/wear-tear-repair-and-warranty Personally I won't be buying another boot with a PU midsole if I can avoid it.
