Boot Toe Protector

[Deadbird]

I always wear out the leather toes of my boots. Or the threading on the toe.

Has anyone used any boot toe protector.

I have used shoe goo on the toe.
It helps, but doesn't look to good.

Toe protector

Toe Armor has been working great for me.

I've coated the toes of my boots with a two-part urethane product that's marketed for repair of conveyor belts. It's definitely ugly, but it definitely works.

My current boots are Danner Pronghorns (old style). I wore them for a season without the toe protector to scuff up the surface a little. I thought it would promote adhesion of the urethane. I went a little overboard applying to coating, carrying the coating too far back and applying it too thick. It changed the "flex" of the boot, concentrating the flexing action in a small area. As a result the stitching in that area has started to give. If I threw the boots away today I'd feel like I got my money's worth out of them, but they still have several seasons in them.

I'll do it again to my next pair, but I won't coat such a large area.

I've been using Tuff Toe on my work and hunting boots for years. The stuff works great!

Gorilla glue, foams up and gets hard, wears for a long time.
