   Yes. This is what the mechanic checked at the last revision (less than a   
   year ago).

   For some reason, I was using at my fifties some boots that were bought   
   when I was a teenager. Size was correct, soles had their crests and   
   valleys, not much used, but little actual grip. I finally threw them away.   
      
   About then or earlier I bough some good boots for mountain sports. I   
   think I actually used them 4 times over the years, but the last time,   
   the sole got unglued from the rest of the boot, on both boots, like a   
   gaping mouth, at the start of the trek. The boots were not even ten   
   years old, maybe 6. The rubber was still soft, but the boots were   
   garbage material. Fault of the glue, or one intermediate layer that   
   decomposed.
