I was just wondering this weekend how long one can expect to get good performance out of their boots before they need to be replaced?
I own a pair of Asolo 520 GTX full leather boots with Vibram soles...bought new in 2000 and have used them for five seasons or hiking in the Whites, Greens, and ADK's as well as snowshoeing. The tread is still there...but obviously not quite as aggressive as before. The leather is in really, really good shape. They still are supportive and comfy . So how will I know when they're done? Will it be anytime soon?
