I am surprise to hear of a pair that failed so early!




Yeah, I was too. As you would be aware, these boots aren't cheap.
You know, just before I left on the trip where they delaminated, as they were looking a bit dry, I did give them a light rub down with Dubbin.
I'm wondering if this had anything to do with the sole delamination.
Dubbin is a leather treatment which has been around for a long time, but there are some who say it can rot the stitching.
The soles on the Scarpas are not stiched but glued, and I can't help wondering if the Dubbin could have caused some breakdown of the glue. 9three mentioned that over-oiling can do this. I'm sure I didn't overdo it with the Dubbin though. It was a very light application.

What do you guys reckon? Have you ever had any dramas with boots which have been treated with Dubbin?
Also, what do you think is the best leather treatment for boots, belts etc?
