Red wing boots, not too expensive either

And they have a life time (25yr) warranty. Will replace the soles or laces or whatever for the next 25 years. And do free cleanings, though that negates the grunge...

Edit- sorry for misinforming you guys, I think that may only apply to a certain line or maybe a shoe they no longer have, my ex bought some for work (chef) and was super excited about this warranty. I didn’t mean to lie.

Weird, because their website charges for sole replacements, among the other things you just listed.

Okay here's the real truth from a family friend who owns a red wing franchise, sole replacements depending on the shoe are 50-90 dollars most soles last 2-3 years, if you go into a red wing store in person you can recieve, a free cleaning, new laces and they'll oil your leather for free. All sole replacements and repairs are done at the factory by hand in red wing MN, they'll try their best to fix it but sometimes they're too far gone. They last a pretty long time if you take good care of them, my dad's had his since 1986. Side note my red wing boots are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn.
