True. Because the boots are made with the heels and soles in one piece and attached to the boot as such. Check out the shoes you wear and try to find a “shoe repair shop” that can repair them. (Clue: The goode olde shoe repair shop no longer exists!)

Usually the body of my shoes fall apart before the soles go. The only time I had a shoe repaired was when I tore loose a couple of lacing hooks on some hiking boots.

You would be amazed at how many cobblers have YouTube channels. I have watched a few of them, brings back memories of long ago when my grand father had a shoe last on the back porch to fix his own shoes.

Buy a pair of Whites boots, they guarantee them damn near forever as long as you take care of them.

When they start to wear out just send them back to get them repaired.

I’v had the same pair of Helitack boots for almost 30 years.
