I cant look properly as going to bed in a min. On nights and had no sleep yet. Will attack it in the morning. Is it simply that the boots come forwards?

Its more than likely perished if its old or made of poor quality rubber.

The boot hasnt split. If you look close to the bit on the left you cqn see where the jubilee should be.
