Life Is Good!
Pete, I'm very curious to see the photo of the hole that developed. Can you venture a guess as to the cause?
I've worn the soles down on my 130K mile, 13 y/o Alpinestars Gore-Tex Tourers enough that I'm looking to replace them. Good to know that they can be repaired, the local shoe shops won't touch them. I love these boots as much as one can love an inanimate object. Super clean design (no silly, completely unnecessary, shifter flap), top/full grain leather, comfortable right out of the box and walking, easy on/off but secure, etc etc. Arctic Circle to Big Bend, 25F to 115F, frog-stranglers and stream wading totally waterproof...
The closest current model appears to be the Gran Torino. I'll be contacting Alpinestars about a repair first. Also looking at the Aerostich Combats but unless they've added a bit more room to the toe box than the pairs I tried on in their store 13 years ago they're out. Decisions...
