Going on my third winter with these Frye combat boots and I still can't walk more than a mile in them without taping up my heels
disappointing for sure

I like walking places, I need warm boots with tread, and I'm happy to put in the care and feeding that good leather boots require. It's a shame the quality I seek can't be found with Frye.

And no I'm not going to put in the time and effort another boot hunt requires right now. I'll just keep taping my heels.

And to head off the usual: - I took them to the cobbler for stretching when I got them - I have cared for leather shoes for years - I walk a lot they should be good by now

Maybe
@RedWingShoes ?I've enjoyed my Iron Rangers (though they're not a combat boot) and they offer resoling if they get worn down (at a pretty inexpensive price imho). -
Like I've walked up Berkeley hills in them and felt great. I only stopped wearing them now because my heels wore so I need to get them repaired (which I plan to do soonish).
-
Yeah I know Red Wing is a favorite. There's also a company in Oregon that makes custom boots, too. I just don't want to shell out more money when my current boots should be lasting years.

definitely know these feels with my problematic feet. I try to buy all my boots at REI now so I can return them after using them for a bit if they aren't going to work out.

Thick socks! Tie the tight so your heel doesn't move! A footbed may help.

Apparently the secret to their durability is beating you into submission
