Do you usually want to send it to the manufacturer for that? Or any well reviewed cobbler/shoe repairer can handle that?

Probably resole them every 2 or 3 years if theyre worn like 3 days a week or something??

As long as you treat them decently, the meermin or grant stones could theoretically last a decade or two assuming you resole when you need to, correct?

I do like the cheaper ones, just concerned on quality. If the more expensive ones really will last that much longer, it's almost a no brainer

I found a pair of Grant Stones that are B Grade (9.5 US, I usually wear 10) but if they don't fit great, I wonder how long I'd sit on them if I try to resell them

Yeah, thats why I'm suggesting I haven't bought the cheaper ones yet, but I certainly won't be buying $1000 ones anytime soon

Even if I double or quadruple my salary, it would be hard to consider getting $1000+ footwear lol

I don't see me ever wanting to purchase any footwear more expensive than the $500 boots.
I also could see me wearing them for 10 years, assuming they hold up well. I could maybe see me reducing how often I wear them casually, but for work I would almost certainly still wear them during the winter or rainy days
