Sad boots

[caddiscrazy]

Anybody else have a hard time letting boots go? These last pair of crispis I’ve put hundreds of miles on and several different states. I babied them through the late season but the tread is nearly gone now. Always tough on me letting a pair of boots go every few years. These were the valdres, but they have discontinued them and replaced them with the valdres II. Haven’t decided for sure which ones I will be buying this year.

Those are in much better shape than the pair of Hanwags I just threw away.

You can probably get them resoled if they have that much sentimental value to you

Haha! This is after a fresh dose of leather lotion and mink oil. Not so much sentimental about them, just neat to think about all the cool places they took me

New keens are 150, as long as I get 2 seasons out of them, I'm happy. Best fitting boot for my weird feet that I've ever found.

Hang on to them and use them for work around home.

They don't really look that bad although I can't tell what the soles look like. It appears you took good care of them. Another pair of insoles, some Crispi waterproof boot wax (or whatever you've been using), and carry on.

I’ve got some off brand Italian boots I bought from Hoffman’s on closeout. They were super comfy but blew out seams way too fast. They’ve got a ton of shoe goo on almost every seam. I’m not sure why they’re still in my garage

I bet your house is full of 'stuff'

Not me. I view them like tires.

If you have “rebuild “ boots they were never meant to last…love my current crispis…
