Reply to comment by F-21 in Been looking for a pair of BILF shoes. by Firestar_

How long do you think they'd last, for daily wear in a city, and hiking/airsoft every now and then ? How many resoles do you think they could sustain before not being repairable anymore ?

Obviously hard to say.... I think you can fully wear the soles out twice or three times, perhaps even more. Ma big difference if you e.g. clean them up every month or two months and apply some oil on them now and then.

And how long could a sole last, on average ?

I'm sorry if I post dumb questions..

Depends on the person. If you drag your feet it can wear out twice or three times as fast... Also, how much do you walk?

For me it lasts two to three years if I wear them a lot, but typically over 5 years. I put on work-issued shoes or clogs in the office, so I mainly wear them on my short commute or if I go on a trip. If you walk a lot, obviously it'll wear out way faster.

I walk pretty much every day, at least a kilometer or two. I don't drag my feet.
