My winter Gore Tex cycling boots have holes in the cuffs where the soft booty meets the shoe. This is all integral; therefore, a weak link. The boots are otherwise perfectly good, they stay warm and dry except for that one trouble spot and the replacements for these are 300 bucks....

Like Roger Daltrey tells Pete in'Magic Bus' - "Too Much!"

So, like the good tightwad I am, I made a paper template, transferred that pattern to some thin closed cell I had laying around, and used shoe goo to assemble the parts. Time will tell if the repair holds or holds up.
I've got a plan B if I can't get a few more thousand miles out of these.





This is where the cold and wet happens on both boots.


Time will tell. Not too ghetto, right?
