Scouts

My Alpinestar Scout Adventure boots have taken a beating but I just can't seem to part with them. They just fit so well. I think I've got almost 100,000 miles on them, including a trip to Prudehoe Bay and back and two trips across the country and back. As I think about it maybe more.

The main issue they're having is keeping the soles on. First the backs went. Then the fronts went. I've found that JBWeld works in putting them back together. It's kind of unsightly though.

The first time the rear heal on one came off I was at a dual sport rally up in North Carolina. If you look closely at this photo, I had to resort to my Walmart camp shitkickers to finish the rally.

For the record, they actually worked pretty good.

However, some day I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and buy a new pair of boots.
