How *long* in storage?
Where did you store them? A lawnmower?
Mice?
How old are they?
I had these boots too and the exact same thing happened to me, unfortunately it happened while I was wearing them in the middle of a ski town
Which one, Aldi or Lidl?
Ye can’t beat Vibram soles.
I can’t decide what confuses me more about this picture.
The Flintstone boots, the empty pet food bowl next to a clearly artificial pet, the fact that you somehow have flowers blooming in the snow, the car headrest/speaker next to the plant pot, or the incredibly contradictory paint swatches.
Your life is intriguing.
You mean to tell me that a pair of winter shoes that were 18 euro from a budget supermarket aren’t well made?
Ahhh Jasus.
Pure shite.
When did you buy them?
The only reason I can see would be if they were in the sun through a window. Uv degrading the chemical in the sole of the Boot. Still you got a couple years out of them haha.
How did you buy them from both supermarkets?
Tbf all hiking, walking and snow boots will do this if they’re not worn. The soles can pop right off even the expensive ones if they’re not checked, flexed and dried a few times a year.
Hydrolysis –
Hydrolysis is a chemical process that occurs when water molecules break down the chemical substance in a boot’s sole, causing it to crumble or separate from the boot. This happens when boots aren’t worn regularly, so if they’ve been in storage for a while, it makes sense.
Do you hike near volcanoes?…
I had a pair of high end hiking boots and over time the rubber perished . The leather upper was perfect , like new , I looked after the boots with treatments but there is nothing you can treat rubber with , to stop it from cracking
I hate cheapo stuff.

Who would have thought that a lowcost grocery store brand wouldn’t be able to make/sell competent shoes? Amazing.
I had a pair of Meindel boots for about 15 to 20 years, which, over 1 year (rarely worn), totally disintegrated. The midsole (padded rubber,) turned to powder.
Pity, goretex, leather uppers with a lovely patina….
Look like my mots 📦
These shoe designers have no soles
I swear to god, I’m after getting an Aldi ad in the comments. Great timing as the boots could be from Lidl.
Those boots are made for walking, not storing
Well, I can answer one question and add another. The car headrest speaker thing is a Google Nest. My question is, where they wearing these when they found this out a half mile from home? Is that what is implied? What kind of feet do they have when they don’t instantly feel the concrete path against the soles of their feet .

Cheap shoes disintegrate when not being worn regularly.
“Hydrolysis is the chemical breakdown of the PU polymer and the resulting physical breakdown or crumbling of the PU sole by the attack of water (usually in vapour form), occurring over a period of several years (even when the shoes are in store!).
This process is accelerated by warmth and high Humidity”
Ffs everyone knows you’re not supposed to get them wet, rookie mistake
