question for anyone with dunks

i know the crepe outsole holds up very poorly, which can mostly be rectified with a vibram. but another issue i see in a lot of dunks is that the stapled back area of the midsole is in various stages of falling apart (pic related is a particularly bad specimen from grailed). i'm guessing that once it's gotten bad and started to chip away it's a lost cause, but if you find a pair in good condition where the ends haven't started to separate and the staples still have their structural integrity, is there anything that can be done to prevent this? maybe a layer of rubber over the back of the midsole to keep moisture out?
