I know redwings all have soles that can be replaced. I do not know if they offer anything in these styles, however the style have become quite popular. I'm sure if you look around you will find something. I think you can resolve rebacks.

I would only get boots with a Goodyear welt. The fact that blundstones don't tells you something. They are not making their boots to last a lifetime, only to last the tread.

Doing a quick search, redwing, Thursday, Alden and I believe Chippewa as well. You just got put in the time and verify. Imsuprised that any company uses anything but a good year then again most people do not resole their boots because of fast fashion. Most companies design their boots for casual wear. I have a strong preference for redwing because they use thick stiff leather and I have had boots that like 8 years with lots of hard field use. Even at the end of 8 years I mainly tossed them out due to the leather stretching too much. The boots started getting a little floppy on me. Not all redwings are built the same. If you buy their made IN USA line expect to pay about $250+ however comparing that to vans that will last only 6 months and cost about $50 you get a roi after 2.5 years. If you are wearing redwings casually expect them to last over a decade. They also have in-store locations, they will help you size the shoe very accurately and the customer service is superb. I am spoiled because my company gives me a $250 voucher to buy boots every year.
