I have been carrying my old BOB in the boot of my car (BOB 2.0 is at home), usual fire starter, dry food, water, tools, torch...etc and I always have a change of clothing in it, Now the problem, looks like the soles of my boots have come undone after a year of storage (my car is white, so not that hot). It was a pair of S&W and only wore it a few times to break it in..... Now I know it is not ideal to store rubber and stuff on the boot but are there any brands that is fairly resistant to heat for about 2 years?

I wonder if instead you could use glue that can handle heat and just fix them. Or if you put them in an insulated container [esky or a couple of supermarket cool bags] that it would do the trick? I thought of E6000, though not quite E6000 can be applied in temperatures ranging from 50 °F to 90 °F (10 °C to 32 °C). When cured, E6000 can withstand temperatures between -40 °F and 150 °F (-40 °C and 66 °C). E6000 may be painted over for maximum UV resistance. 175C contact adhesive. www.crc.co.nz/F38-High-Heat-Contact-Adhesive/6895-88a317ef-d056-40c5-9f45-4aae073deec9/Shoes are bonded with something similar to that, I've repaired many a shoe thusly with great success.

I'm sure there's also local versions of the contact adhesive or even at bunnings in terms of glue, just went with the first on search.
