Hi guys;My Koflach was stored for some years, and now I´ve realized the upper cuff is cracked. Does anybody know if such this damage can be recovered by part replacement?

Ya see, that's the thing about plastic boots...

You can get replacement uppers in a bundle with fresh soles and liners.

Boots get you in and out, one of your most important pieces of gear. Plastic gets old and cracks, time for a new pair of boots

Unfortunately boots do not do well when they are stored without being used.  The plastic gets brittle and cracks, foam in the midsole disintegrates, and glues fail.

One possible symptom of old age is when drops of oil start appearing on the plastic.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
