    Yeah, I’ve never had a pair just fall apart, I still have boots from my internship 30 years ago.

      Same. My usual failure mode is wearing through the soles. I wear through a pair of “general purpose” shoes in 2-3 years, and I have boots from 10+ years ago that just start to show the first issues.

          I have to admit, I have never had a shoe resoled. I should start doing that. Problem of living in a country (and world) where buying new is cheaper than repairing :(

            You can only get certain shoes resoled. Fancy stitched leather dress shoes essentially, that or fully stitched boots.
