Reply to comment by FuzzyMcBitty in My wife was begging me to buy new boots today since my LL Bean Katahdins are like 13 years old so instead I bought some leather oil and new laces for the first time! by Morphabond

Depends how deep the scuffs are. You might have to sand it slightly and redye them.

But hiking boots aren't ment to look pretty.

What boots ARE long lasting and meant to build character?

I walk 4 or 5 miles a day, and I got these when I became frustrated buying new shoes a few times a year.

Any that are resoleable. I don't know of too many brands that offer it, but Lundhags, Zamberlan (my brand of choice), Lowa, Hanwag and Altberg all make boots specifically designed to be resoled.

Now all of those brands are European, but I'm sure there are some American brands out there as well.
