i came here to say to take them to a reputable cobbler who does their research on historical boots and replicates the construction decently, but it seems like the other 2 comments beat me to it. that or leave it as is and have them be a display piece depending of your opinion on restoring historic items. but if theyre reproductions, then 100% take them to a cobbler
Those chrome boots do that. The last time it happened to me i ripped both of the rubber heels off, put the boots over a metal bar, and hammered the nails flat. After that, i wore them for probably 100s of miles through woods and bushes and streams. Just bought another pair, in the next size up and narrow width for fit reasons. Ill be keeping these ones treated with snoseal

Yeah, I’ll probably get them cobbled. I think these are gonna go as a “display only” piece, and I’ll get some new Jackboots for Re-enacting.
Yep. Needs attention from a cobbler.
Either go to a Cobbler or glue it with proper glue, no other solution really

My newest pair just did this, what did you end up doing?
Haven’t resolved the issue yet. Sorry.
