Benchmade - knives Darn Tough - socks Carhartt - good work gear Doc martens - footwear

My opinion is they were garbage in the 80s/90s too. I would wear the soles down like an eraser in a matter of months. Warranty or not, that's not bifl to me.

That's kind of the nature of the soles they use, but there's not really such thing as a sole that won't wear (and if there were, it probably wouldn't be comfortable to walk on). Instead high quality boots are made to have the sole be easily replaceable using constructions like Goodyear welt, stitchdown, and Blake.

I have that problem with all kinds of shoes and trainers, regardless of the price tag. I bought a pair of Adidas Men's Hoops 3.0 a few months back and to my surprise, the soles haven't worn down on them yet.

But I feel like it's only a matter of time until a hole starts developing in the soles, which means they're gonna be waterlogged in any kind of wet weather.
