Get new ones so you have them ready when these ones fall apart.

Just had a Dr appointment for heel pain about a month ago. I've apparently worn the fat pad on the bottom of my heel away so it's direct bone contact with whatever's under it... painful. Apparently if I'd been wearing better quality footwear this could have been prevented (lots of time on my feet on concrete).
Don't skimp on footwear... never would have imagined I now get to look forward to several decades of being unable to walk or stand comfortably. Currently trying everything under the sun shy of the ~$500 custom inserts that might last a year, but probably less given my work.

I watch jooTube channel Rose Anvil for information on boots.

I loved my old construction boots 45 years ago. They were American quality made back then.

Take care of your feet. There's nothing worse than having to be on your feet all day and being miserable.

I just can't do it. I wanna push them to the limit. Neither laces are original and one is a string from a hoodie

If you like the boots you've worn out, get a new pair of the same, ready for when the old ones blow out.

That's the plan. I don't exactly drive at the moment... My one work partner and I sometimes grocery shop at Walmart together though

They are either going to break when you least need them to break or you'll end up injuring yourself and being out of work. Get new ones.

Go barefoot and pregnant ya fuk’n troon. ; )…
Earlier you mentioned, “stank”. Try merino wool socks or bamboo socks. Or better yet merino wool with bamboo socks. A little pricey, but worth it. Cotton or other non natural fibers suck.

I’ve always worn a redwing slip on boot and I wear ‘em until the sole is worn through and the seams were coming undone. Usually took 7 to 10 years. Last pair didn’t last two years before the sole was near done for. They have gone downhill as many others will say. Wear’n a Justin cowboy work boot now. So far so good, been almost six months now. Ain’t near as active now though.

If they keep your feet dry and comfortable then keep them. If no to either of those then get new boots.

Take care of your feet. Are they comfortable? Do they still offer support and protection? Up to you, bro

They're pretty beat up and stank. Don't even wear socks with em anymore. Change into them when needed. Really should throw some alkalinity in these bastards

Baking soda overnight. Dump in the morning and run a vacuum hose in em.
