TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.Another pair of boots bite the dust

It's not good for footwear to be left on the shelf for long periods. Regular wear keeps them healthier.

Gee Commando, I think that is three pairs of boot now and I am starting to wonder if the problem could be your commando feet? You say they rotted out from the inside so maybe apply a liberal dose of toot powder in future.

How long was it since you last used these boots? I have these boots and they have not shown any sign of "rotting". However, it is well known that the material from which the soles are made will degrade if the boots aren't worn for a long time. Drying the boots out by putting them near a campfire could well cause the soles to degrade.
