I had Sidi Adv, they lasted 3 years - no longer waterproof and the soles are worn out, they’re very expensive to resole - I still wear them for trail riding.
I appreciate that I only wear my Hoggs on occasion but they are my only walking boots and I use them for extensive holidays. They are 14 years old now and still 100% waterproof and in excellent condition.
I’m fed up paying £200-300 for boots which only last 2/3 years just because they look good (I’m only casting aspersions on myself, not others).
So, when I can afford it, it’s £300 for a pair of Bahn Riders that will last me for the duration with a couple of resoles.
PS I clean and re-proof all our boots and shoes every 6 weeks - more often in the winter for walking boots ie Hoggs.
