Conditions and doubles as waterproofing as well, will keep those shitkickers kicking for a long time
Leather getting rough is part of being a hiking boot, but you should oil/grease it to keep it softer and water resistant.
For the rubber peeling, you can glue that to some extent, but to really glue it properly you'd need to peel off the whole sole (not a good course of action). Get some rubber glue, clean the peeled area with acetone, and glue it back together carefully (not too much glue, or it will harden too much!).

If you want to waterproof, soften and preserve your boots, I've used Bear Grease for years. It's especially good for waterproofing and a little goes a long way. The leather will end up outlasting the soles. I used to be only able to find it in tack and feed stores. Amazon carries it now http://www.amazon.com/BEAR-Leather-Dressing-Bear-Grease/dp/B003SKHAI4
