Nice Boots but Neolite Soles Cracking, Leather rotting at instep - Years of Life Yet

I've had these boots, unbranded and unsized, probably 6 or 6 1/2, since the 1970's when I was gifted them used. Finally, the leather instep has rotted and cracked, and the neoprene soles are cracking and splitting. Still perfectly wearable and comfortable, best without socks to escape through the hole.
