Here's a pic of one of a pair of Browning boots that I have been using for the last few years. I use these boots for one week per year for deer hunting. The condition as shown in the pics will attest to the amount of use they have seen, not much at all. I would estimate that I haven't worn them more than 50 times since new. They have been a favorite boot of mine until today when the sole failed while in the field. Lucky for me that I was close to the truck when this happened. Seems the glue has let go that holds the sole to the foam insert. Pretty disappointing for a good expensive boot to fail after only a few outings.

I emailed Browning customer service with included pics. We'll see what happens.

I now need new boots, but won't EVER get another pair with a sole like that. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

I had the same boots with the same problem.. Mine were only 2 yrs old and only worn during deer season. Browning wouldnt do anything for me.
Just because they can make a good gun doesnt mean they can make boots.
 
i got a pair that i bought about 15 years ago,looks about the same as them but mine do not have the cammo color...
i think back then i payed almost 400.00 for them..i have a lot of miles on mine as of today,but i can wear them in the cold and rain all day long,and my feet will stay dry and warm
 
Check out Danner boots. The ones with stitched down soles are top notch. They can be re-soled. I will buy another if/when my current pair are worn out.
 
Had a pair of expesive brownings a couple years ago that leaked like crazy around the sole. Had to jam sno-seal everywhere to have dry feet if I planned on walking through damp grass.
Browning wouldn't do anything about it.
Bought a pair of Meindl's and they are awesome.
