I think the suggestion to take the boots to a shoe repair shop is an excellent one. these boots could probable be good as new for less than twenty bucks.

My spouse frequents shoe repair shops for all manner of repairs to shoes, wallets, purses, belts, suitcases, jackets, etc. etc. Always a fitting durable repair at low cost compared to new purchase.

It's for this reason I will buy a more expensive WELT sole boot. ( The sole is sewn, not glued to the uppers.) A welt sole is the only type of boot that can be resoled. I've had a pair of Rocky cordura nylon boots for >18 years. Originally cost $140. New soles, 5 years ago, cost $50, and they are still good as new. (I do occassionally sew up a few small rips and apply superglue to the mends to keep the uppers intact.)
