Slit in top of boot?

[lockdown199]

I have a 1 1/2 in slit in the top of my boot and would like some suggestions on how to fix it. The boots are a hard rubber with leather upper. I haven't messed with it because I don't want it to get any worse then it is. So any help would be great.

If it's the rubber part of the boot, try a bicycle inner tube patch. My buddy got a hole in his wader boot and used a inner tube patch to repair it. Been 3 years and no leaks.

I seen the shoe go and wasn't sure if it worked or not, going to get some today. Thanks

I've used shoo-goo in the past but have switched to auguaseal for any repairs to rubber or neoprene.  It's a lot smaller tube but in my opinion it sticks much better and longer.

If it is a large area to fix a patch or a piece of inner tube cut to size will fix it nicely. Use the shoe goo and it will last longer than the rest of the boot. Clean the rubber first and use a pencil to mark out the area the patch will set. Then smear the glue to the line. This way it won't look bad with too much squeeze out. You will get better at fixing as you go. Practice makes perfect. I use the shoe goo to fix more than boots. It has very few limitations.
