here's my work boots, all leather, bought about 2 or 3 years ago. after being used day in, day out, they started to break apart after one year because it was shit chinese leather and a LOT of use.
replaced them with some similar apache brand boots, also doing very well. both benefited hugely from a soft innersole.
pro tip: treat your leather with mink oil. nothing makes it more supple and stops it from cracking better. get mink oil on your boots ASAP after buying, then bees wax. re-oil and re-wax after serious use.
