My last pair set a record for falling apart. If the chinese glue isn't available here, its because it sucks. They used to last me at least a year or two. Last pair, 6 months and the sole has come unglued, the rand is seperating from the sole all around and they cracked real quick.

If you only wear them occasionally they should last a while.

Anyway, uninsulated, wool socks and I buy them a size smaller than my usual boot/shoes.
