You can't fix a cracked boot. It will continue to crack.
You can slow the damage down by drilling a small hole at the base of the crack. That will sometimes stop the crack from spreading.
Boots are plastic, and can suffer from fatigue and crack after time.

I would try to warranty them. it's not definitely something that's under warranty, but you might as well give it a try.

Try buying some used boots at a Swap or off here on NS. There are plenty of cheap boots out there that will work fine for a while.
Good Luck!

No its not... boots are not like skis that should last a long time. I would find a.shop that sells alot of Rossi, talk to the shop manager and see what they think about returning them. Usually if the guy in the shop, big rossi buyer, agrees something went wrong with the boot, they can talk the manufacturer into a warranty they may not usually honor.

its doubtfull. boots still come with a 1 year warrenty. the liners only last 100-150 days so maybe 2 seasons of use and shells will not last much more. if it was a month or 2 old it would certainly be replaced but not when its that old.
