I hunt a lot of valleys, so traction is crucial. These shoes are lacking significantly in that environment.
Milage may vary, as they say, haha. How old are yours, graybeard? Mine are about 10 years old.

I actually have two pairs.
One pair, my oldest, has a vibram sole. Leather uppers and are all of ten plus years old.

My second pair have a SOREL aero-trac non-loading out-sole, leather uppers. They are about 5 years old.

My feet sweat so I have to be mindful of that short coming in cold weather when hiking around or any other outdoor activity.
I only wear these boots in the snow. I do not use them when I am hiking in early season on rocks or other sharp edged surfaces.
The soles look great and no rips or tears on the soles.
The only thing that ever tore off was one of the shoelace eye rings. I had it re attached at my local shoe repair shop.
They have served me well hiking in and out of the winter Drumheller coulees.
I hope this helps...
