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?
Your soles should last way longer than that. On a set of proper boots the soles should last for years and years.
My chelsea boots are from Blundstone, and they show no sign of wear so far. That said I’ve only had them for half a year or so, so I still consider them new shoes—I expect they’ll last many more years.
I’ve just thrown my Blundstones out they were so uncomfortable. Redback is a great Aussie work boot.
