When I worked in the local gas station, I patched a couple boots every Saturday during the winter months. We used to use hot patches, but now I use regular roll on cold patches. They hold good if you prepare the area first. I carefully use my little weld grinder to buff an area a little bigger than the patch diameter. Blow off the residue, then coat the buffed area with tire patch cement. Let it dry, then carefully place the patch, rolling it on good with a kneading tool. Try to not touch the sticking surfaces with anything but the patch.
For big wounds, you can overlap patches.
Never tried patching a wound on the soul.
I just counted the patches on my old LaCross chore boots. There's nine on the right boot, and ten on the left.
I have a brand new pair in the closet, but these ain't dead yet. By the way - the new ones are made in China. It was a tough decision - but I've worn LaCross boots for 30 years.
