Plowing through the gear shelf I found a forgotten boxed pair of hiking boots. For how long shall remain unknown but must have been awhile because the boots had completely come apart. Virtually every glued joint had separated and I had a box of boot parts instead of a pair of boots.

They were not heavily used and were stored in the house, so no temp extremes and no exposure to light to accelerate degradation. The only good news was not having a big cleanup because the mess was boxed.

Here's hoping glue has improved since those things were made.

Asolo brand FWIW.
