Sad thing is they're not that old. Have yet to find shoes that last a reasonable amount of time. Tired of Nike lasting a few months, so decided to try New Balance. This pair was even worse.

I had had good luck with Vasque hiking boots in the past, but production has for a while been in China, and they don't last either. The longest lasting boots I ever had were WESCO logging/lineman boots out of Oregon. Still have a pair from the 80's I'll wear for rugged chain saw work, but they really hurt my feet in short order.

James, good to have you post. Hope you are feeling better, and look forward to seeing you in about three weeks.

Mike
