If you can visually see the crack in your outsole, epoxy or super glue it up. If you don't know where it's happening, then it might just be absorbing too much moisture through the fabric, I suggest getting a can of water repellent and go wild spraying the outer.]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2012 00:20:42 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1212474#1212474 Wet boots : gorilla glue... we used it to... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1212454#1212454 Author: AJD13

gorilla glue... we used it to glue up the sole my friends work boots on the job... they been through mud, rain, ice, you name it still holding strong. Make sure when you do it find a way to keep constant pressure on the cracked areas. it will help seat the glue better.]]> Mon, 12 Nov 2012 21:20:47 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1212454#1212454 Wet boots : Course you can a right doesn't... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1210180#1210180 Author: keljai

Burton said no go since boots were >1 year old.
I can't complain since I preiviously broke a binding baseplate and they hooked me up with new ones.]]> Fri, 02 Nov 2012 12:22:09 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1210122#1210122 Wet boots : My burton hail boots held up pretty... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1207678#1207678 Author: MurphyMasta

My burton hail boots held up pretty well. I had about 100 days on those suckers before the front of the boot ripped off, but I just duck taped them up and now they are my back ups. ]]> Tue, 23 Oct 2012 08:28:03 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1207678#1207678 Wet boots : Depends on where you are letting... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1207590#1207590 Author: Lux

Depends on where you are letting in the water.
If it is through the tongue, it will not be warrantied because that is the equivalent of deliberately submerging your boot in water.
No boot tongue can be watertight. You have to be attentive and avoid shovelling slush around with your boot, whether it's accidental or otherwise.
If you are letting in water through the sole, then it is defective.
If you are letting in water through where the sole is bonded to the shell, then that is a grey area because it depends on construction.
Leather boots are typically watertight in that area.]]> Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:53:46 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1207590#1207590 Wet boots : if you cant take them back cover... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1207505#1207505 Author: scuddera

Shoe Goo is pretty awesome. For skateboarding especially. Yeah call Burton you might get a replacement boot. It doesn't hurt to try.]]> Mon, 22 Oct 2012 11:10:04 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1207450#1207450 Wet boots : I'd call the big B on those.... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1207446#1207446 Author: JDiggidy

I'd call the big B on those. it seems a little too quick to me as well. On the other hand, you may have been at fault for the leak. Do you have to kick away binding straps or ice often? Pressure points in your bindings? things like that can really work a boot over quickly.

If you don't get anywhere with the warrenty, Shoo Goo is the shiz. I've never used it on snow, but it works wonders elsewhere for me.

Burton usually has a pretty good return policy. They may still be able to replace them or fix them for cheap. I'd call the company and see if they can help you out at all. I'd say they wore out way to fast. ]]> Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:23:23 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1207439#1207439 Wet boots : 25 days is not very many for boots.... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1207436#1207436 Author: julius77

25 days is not very many for boots. I think I hit about 50-60 days on mine before I got a crack that let in some water, and I felt like that was way too soon. I used a bit of epoxy to fill in the gap and have had no probs since. My other boots lasted a solid 3 seasons and still don't leak, so they've gone about 60-75 riding days with no leaks. 25 days is not enough, even if they are lower boots on the line. ]]> Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:18:57 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1207436#1207436 Wet boots : I have get a pair of burton freestyle... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1207315#1207315 Author: gunda pickle

I have get a pair of burton freestyle boots with 25 days use and one of them leaks like the titanic.
Granted they were one the lower boots in the line.
Does this seem a bit too quick?
How many days are other people getting?]]> Sun, 21 Oct 2012 18:01:15 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52696&PID=1207315#1207315
