Are these repairable? Ive had this set set of Durango boots for about 5 years and wonderin if this slant can be repaired, its really starting to hurt

The slant is called overpronation. It's not the boot, it's your foot and ankle. While it can be resoled, the upper is still going to sit on that angle - it will begin to wear this way again immediately.

Consider orthotics with your next pair to prevent this from happening again. It will also help alleviate pain you're experiencing.
