Well,
After only less then 3 years of use German Lobro boots were cracking bad
enough to be replaced.
I replaced them with Rockford superdooper boots but it's too soon to draw
any conclusion.
Those boots came with strange looking green grease but i used it aniway. And
they were more expensive than Lobro boots.
