A great discussion on [email protected] about the longevity of Docs vs Solovairs made me think of this meme. See here for the discussion: https://lemmy.world/post/37610639
If I’m not mistaken those are New Rocks on the the left and Demonias on the right. Never had any New Rocks tho they look cool. fwiw like two years ago I bought some leather Docs and synthetic Demonias at around the same time; the Docs are still OK but the Demonias started cracking after a couple weeks.

Yeah, that flexing point is tough on any material. They do sell leather glue for that kinda issue.
I don’t have my newrocks yet, they’re being made: https://www.newrock.com/en/m-718p-c3
Best bang for the buck has been my Polish boots, they took about a week to break in. I moto in them & I’ve walked miles in them on a single day several times.
Quite comfy, waterproof & good price (approx 120usd): https://rockmetalshop.pl/product-pol-169075-glany-damskie-STEADYS-10-dziurek-antracytowe-LAKIER-STE-10.html
Metal as fuck! I hope you don’t do a roundhouse kick, you’ll kill someone!
Those Polish boots look good too. I haven’t worn any straight-up combat-style boots in a while, iirc the last pair I had were Corcorans which… I don’t think they died, I think I had to donate them when I was leaving town.
