I’m a Red Wing guy but anything with a Goodyear welt can be resoled. Check out r/goodyearwelt too.

Edit: I didn’t read the whole post before this suggestion but it’s worth checking out also maybe Thursday Boot Co?

Btw goodyear welt is famous but most welted boots can be resoled, and ultimately even some non-welted but it's usually notworth it for those.

For example, stitchdown welted construction can be resoled just as easily or even easier (no messing with cork). There's also the Norwegian "Storm Welt" that's a more waterproof version f welted boots. There's the fancier Blake stitch for more dressy shoes, and other types and hybrids...

I haven’t been able to buy new red wings for years because my old ones won’t die. I’m on my second pair in 23 years. Taken them hiking / canoeing about once every week or 2.

I also went to r/goodyearwelt when searching for boot recommendations. Tons of good info there.
