    • Making a Toe Cap

      Step 1:

      Climbers and hikers create tough toe caps with Freesole to protect boots from sharp rocks and crampons.
      Start with a clean, dry boot. Stuff newspaper tightly inside the boot toe area. Apply tape tightly across toe to create straight edge. Lightly sand the toe area with sandpaper, then buff aggressively with a rag dipped in rubbing alcohol. Allow to dry and buff a second time with rubbing alcohol.
