>>2764981What are your thoughts on double lined for longevity/water resistance? My main damage is to my sole and the tip of my toes (catching branch spiking into the boot) so I was going to get an extra leather cap applied. Re: cobbler. Jim Green sells spare soles for really cheap so I'm probably going to just get a few extra sets for the future. I own acetone and cement, should I just be doing this myself (I literally fix antiques for a living, it should be well within my capabilities) just need a bench grinder I guess.
>>2764985I hike 10-15 miles once or twice per week, I don't care about spending on my hobby. I want a high quality boot that will form to my foot and not have to re-break in every year, arguably the worst part of new boots.
