As others have said, a resolable leather boot will last many years, but they’re not cheap. The most affordable option that comes to mind is Jim Green. Their African Ranger has a wide sturdy toe box with a cap. It runs about $170 and it’s made with stitchdown construction that can be resoled. The resole might cost close to the original cost of the shoe, but the leather upper shouldn’t wear out for years. They’re made in South Africa, but I think their US distribution is through Amazon.
