[QUOTE="MikeT, post: 1409406, member: 21398"] I know things won't last forever but I want to know the best way to preserve boot plastic. I have a pair of AlpineStars Tech 8 boots that have actually a low amount of use on them. The blue plastic is cracking not from impact, but from just dry rot cracking. I have boots (non AStar) that are older than these boots that show no signs of this type of failure. The boots are about 8 years old. What I want to know is, does anyone have a procedure that they use to keep this from happening to their boots? Do you spray them with Silicone, wipe them down with something special? Just curious. It just is really a shame that all the leather on the boot is in perfect condition, the soles are fine, just the plastic is coming apart. I am planning to get a new pair of Tech 3 All terrain boots to replace these and want to see if there is anything I can do differently with the new ones. Any ideas?? These are just two areas. There are more. [/QUOTE]
