I have never had a pair of shoes that could last more than a few years. I've even paid for expensive shoes that claimed to be super durable and they fell apart faster than a cheap ass $10 pair from Walmart.

I'm at a point where I have very little hope that anyone, anyone, makes good, comfortable shoes that aren't made of paper mache.

$60 is still pricy enough that it's probably worth it to just learn how to resole boots by hand.

I can't imagine you would need much equipment for it, although I've only resoled leather sandals and those just needed shoe adhesive, a leatherworking needle, and some heavy-duty nylon thread.

I watch some artisan videos on youtube and there's a shit load of skill and tools you'd need. $60 would be more than fair
