Anybody have any luck repairing leaking boots ? Got a pair of light denier nylon boots, leaking right where the top rubber boot meets the denier material. Looks like a few small pinhole defects in material on inside of the one boot. There out of warranty from Cabala's even though they have not been abused or used a lot. I tried a silicon sealant that actually worked a trip or two then just peeled off. Not going to tie up money in SG-20 adhesives these are not expensive boots and I do have several other backup pairs. I think they can be fixed just don't know what's the best bet.
Any ideas ?

Repaired a hole in my boots this spring with aquaseal. Was starting to get a light leak in the seams around the **** too, so I covered them as well. Has held up very well so far. Bought it from fishusa for a few bucks

BeenThereDoneThat.
I don't know what's good for repairing boots but I tried on the pair of chest waders I bought two years ago that still have the tags and plastic on them.  I stored them in my basement and that must not have been a good thing to do,  the darned things shrunk right around the middle.   What's up with that?

I tore my breathable waders a few years back, as a quick fix I used the hot glue stick that comes with the Berkley rod tip repair kits to fix it...
Applied it to both inside and outside of the tear...been holding good for about 4 years now!

Shoe goo did good with straight rubber boot repairs for me.  Not sure how it would adhere to the joint between the nylon and rubber.
To double up on the repair, you might want to use a small amount of the aquaseal or shoe goo, let it cure, and then add a piece of good gorilla tape over it.  
It works well on my pool cover when I want to stretch it out for another winter before pitching it.  As long as I cleaned the cover real well and wiped it down with alcohol, the gorilla tape adhered nicely and waterproofed the pool cover pin holes.

Goop brand "Shoe Goo" works great.
I used it on my boots and waders and it holds well. Walmart has it in their shoe section...about $5
