>>2492193>at most two yearsi also feel like in two years you've probably walked the mileage they're designed to last on this one.
a lot of anons don't seem to understand this, so i will explain it really quick:
eva midsole boots are supposed to last 500-900 miles depending on how thick and dense the eva is.
pu midsole boots are supposed to last longer, but they rot when stored and not walked on once in a while.
leather midsoles are resoleable and fully replaceable. only boots like this does how long the upper lasts matter much.
how long the upper of the boot doesn't really matter that much if the boot's internals only last so long. its easy to not notice it creep in over time, but once that eva is shot its shot.
not a salomon thing, this applies to all hiking boots.
disagree with it or whatever, this is the design philosophy all modern hiking boots use and how you are meant to treat them.
