Same here on boots: I have the first pair of tankers I ever had still ( over 10 years ) and have worn them easily 5 days out of 7 over all those years with the exception of the year and a half in the desert. In fact over the past four years they have been worn daily. Nothing fixed, nothing changed. Granted the sole is worn smooth: if I saw anyone with soles as worn as mine while I was in it would have resulted in a truly epic ass chewing.
