Michael Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Had a customer brought in a pair of Gaerne motorbike boots in where the sole is starting to dry out, crumble and perish.I know from previous experience that when rubber goes like this you cant bond soles and heels as normal because they just come away. Has anyone replaced units on bike boots before? What did you use? Commando style units seem far too clumpy for these....Any suggestions!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Depends on the boot maybe a Vibram 1037 or build a heel wedge and fit a Vibram 1127 both will be a bit lighter than commando units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Right, I've found the unit I want but where the bloody hell can I buy a pair from. I want the Vibram Mombello (art.1685) for motorcross boots, size 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
