   I have a pair of Limmer boots. They aren't cheap but they've went from   
   nailed to glued soles. A complaint of the nailed soles was heat transfer   
   in the winter.  I went hiking in Arizona on a nice spring day with the   
   temps in the 90's and the trail was on black volcanic rock that really   
   soaked up the sun. The glue melted. I wasn't happy duct taping an   
   expensive pair of boots and then doing a more permanent fix with Shoe Goo.
