I have a pair of Sorels that I've worn probably 5 times in 10 years. Busted them out last time we got snow and the rubber on the front had totally cracked and all of it flaked off. They are otherwise in almost new shape but now won't keep water out.
Sorel told me "sorry, that just happens. You can buy some new ones". Local shoe repair place said there's nothing that can be done. I'm still hoping there's some paint on silicone I can use or something. Sucks to get less than a weeks total use out of them just because the weather is rarely that bad.
