A few years on a pair of hiking boots is a decent lifespan.

That said, super durable boots usually aren't super comfortable for hiking in my experience. Welted Soles tend to be heavy and less reactive than their weaker glued counterparts.

Danner Loggers will last you a few years and can be resolled once they wear out

I guess I should have mentioned they replaced the top eyes with nylon pieces that tore off after a few uses. I’m just looking for some more durable pair. I have a nice pair of Danner’s but they are insulated for sitting and hunting

Then you already know they're quality boots haha.

I actually had a super bad experience with Danners personally. Bought some hikers that utterly delaminated after three months which was approximately the same time they finally broke in after wearing my feet raw.

But I've known enough people who had an amazing experience with them to know mine was an isolated incident.
