if dry rot is separating and crumbling your sole, you could consider adopting an old dog an drinking tullamore dew irish whiskey...

Seen it many times.
That’s one of the reasons I quit going with rocky boots, they would rot in the box.
Because climbing boots are crazy expensive, and the marketplace went to molded soles, you will find a number of online boot repairing businesses that target climbers.
I took a particularly favorite pair of boots, had the soles cut off, and had a particular dual rubber Vibram sole put on them for the purposes of hunting on rock.
Look for a shop in CO or UT.
Out there doing it best I can.

Have you called the manufacturer of the boot and got their opinion? IMHO....those boots are toast. That type of sole isn’t usually replaceable in my experience. I wear a couple of different brands of mountaineering boots. Asolo & Lasportiva. Boots from both makers can be bought with extra heavy duty vibram soles that are replaceable, but many of their models are not...especially if the company has gone with a proprietary sole for that specific model of boot or shoe. A friend had the vibram soles of his LaSportiva Trangos replaced a few years ago...the repair shop band sawed off the old vibram (plenty of meat to do that) and epoxy/glued the replacement on top of that....it was a good repair and held up for a few years. He eventually had to get another pair of Trangos. The repair is mostly a 1 time thing. You get 1 good repair out of the old soles and then it’s time to chuck em.

You can still get Irish Setters at Red Wing stores or online, which are serviceable; they aren't American made though. The boots you have look like they are done and available adhesives will not be tough enough to trust IMHO.

I'd say it is time to get a new pair. Who made those?
Lots of really good boot options out there these days. But none of the good ones are cheap.

Yeah I know, plenty of boots out there to buy. It is an 8-10 year discontinued boot that is roughly new in box but dry rotted. It is a Birkenstock product and insanely comfortable and well fitting. I’d drop $100 to put 2-3 years on them my current cost in them is $20. And contacting Birk was a store credit option.
