I’ve got myself a pair of Solovair chelsea boots about a year ago and the soles are already pretty worn out. Water gets through the sole so I probably have to resole them if possible.
The wear has been surprisingly fast. Most of the boots I’ve had have been cheaper price point and lasted at least few years. Do I walk wrong or are the Solovair’s soles just bad? How long should the soles last?


I have nothing but good experiences with Vibram soles, to the point where I won’t buy hiking boots with anything else these days.
My hiking boots are from Alfa, and I couldn’t be happier with them. They sell a wide version as well. Not cheap though—hopefully it’ll pay off after a few years.
Damn these things look like tanks I gotta find a place to try them on, thanks!
