I've had my Glaciers for going on 4 years now and they have done me proud, however they're starting to feel a little damp inside now. Is there anywhere I can get them re-proofed? I've also noticed the top of the sole is very slightly coming away from the boot itself in places, which may be where the water is coming in.. could this be fixed in any way? Thanks in advance.
 
It's most likely that the Goretex membrane has broken down. AFAIK there is little you can do except make sure you keep them well oiled or dubbined. A decent shoe mender may reglue them for you.
 
Freesole to to glue them back together and soak them in Liquid Nik wak and then Nik Wax Wax work them in with your hand as the warmth helps it to penertrate the leather my Dubbaries are still perfect after 3 years but the soles are getting very slippery as their is little tred left.
