I have just got a pair of riggers boots of the shelf in my workshop that have been there for a couple of years, still in box, never opened them, stuck my nail in the sole and it was like chewing gum. So thanks to this thread I have a bit space on my shelf, but not impressed I have just chucked an unworn pair of boots into the bin, what a waste.

The only way to change this is to vote with your feet!

If we all stopped buying these overpriced boots with shitty PU soles the manufacturers would have to change them.

Some will scoff but I've got a pair of these and they're actually really good, surprisingly so for the money. Can wear them all day and also climb in them.

 

 

My brother wears Corfra work boots, they are a soft boot out of the box, and he finds them last well on civil engineering work. 

I have a pair of LOWA boots I wear for going out and they must be 15 years plus old, lovely pair of boots. 

LOWA make a lot of boots for different uses but mot forestry.

Let’s have some fun then.

 

This is what I wear for climbing.

Comfy with or without spikes.

 

They also stop your hands getting sore.

Same - years ago when employed we were supplied with Totectors - good quality, hard wearing and comfy. 
last two pairs I bought for myself were appalling ☹️

The soles fell to bits within a few days so got chucked (no receipt to return them)
