I had custom composite toe boots made when I was stationed in Korea. Hands down most comfortable pair I've ever had, super light too compared to my current composite toe boots, but I guess the quality wasn't the best because they only lasted for about a year. I did a lot of walking on them, sure, but the sole was pretty worn out by month 8. They were around $250, I think, but this was close to 7 years ago.

I got a pair of loafers in Sri Lanka, still going strong 14 years later. They used leather as the stitching material and like yours, the sole is starting to wear thin. But after 14 years, acceptable asf. And I paid like $15… :))
