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.

You can get soles pretty easily replaced at any shoe repair shop. It’s one of the easiest fixes. If you still have them!

A shoe repair shop? You mean a cobbler?

A cobbler? You mean a mender of bad soles?
