Vek, when I got my new condition but used Asolo Yukons, the sole came off early on in break in. When I took them to the cobbler, he said that the vibram was a tougher European version that required a different glue than that typically found in the states. He reglued them with the correct glue, but also stitched them onto the midsole for extra strength at my request. Have you had your boots resoled since you got them? If so, any details on how long it took to wear the original sole down, what kind of sole you replaced it with, and is it still just glued on or is there any additional stitching?
This is true, I always have my new boots re-soled with the much superior Italian Vibram and it is nailed and stitched to the slip or mid-soles. I have Scarpa Fuegos and a pair, ordered yesterday, of lighter Zamberlan Nuvalous coming that I will have done.
I have NO choice in wearing boots and have done for over a half century, I have never found any lighter, randed and molded boots that will fit and last like proper FGL, welted ones do. But, different people, places, uses and even personality types will create different choices.
