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?
What’s your budget? Because that’s possible but not cheap. Have a look at Hanwag. My Alaska Wide size 13,5 are excellent but came at a price.
Cheap is relative as these boots are like half the price of the other commenters rec: https://www.alfaoutdoor.com/men/hiking-boots - and your boots are like twice the price of my cheap keens hahah. They look awesome too though I will try to find a place to test drive. Thanks!
Jim Green Razorbacks are all leather and resolable with 3E width at $190. You have to sort out the waterproofing yourself though.
Niiiiiiice! Thank you for the recommendation, the whole collection looks awesome!
I don’t have the razorbacks, but I can second the brand being the only traditional leather boots I’ve worn that are foot shaped.
Almost spit out my coffee, thanks for the laugh lol
I’m not clever, it’s a trademark term from Altra who makes running shoes with roomy toe boxes.
I do think it’s a good term, though, cause it does get across the point that most shoes are not shaped like your feet naturally want to be.
