I have a pair of Lacrosse boots that I Love, the other day while hunting I stepped in a creek and got wet and looked down to find this problem!!!

Looks like time for a new pair, JMO.

I bought the Muck woody sports and they are the most comfortable rubber boot I have been around. LOVE THEM!

Been there many times. I have tried several fixes: liquid electrical tape, Shoe Goo types, gorilla glue and duct tape. All have failed. I need new ones too. Just save those for summer/fall for dry areas.

I still wear my old lacrosse boots all the time. I won't buy anything else. Lacrosse or nothing

I absolutely love my boots but don't wanna break out another $150 for another pair. Is there anything to do to the rubber to keep it closed up or to repair it without buying another pair?

I have done this with an ole pair of Northerner boots with a hole punched in one boot and got some more life out of them BUT yours appears to be dry rotted like rubber tires so don't know how well it would hold them.
