r/goodyearwelt has reviewed just about every pair of boots and shoes on the market. Also Rose Anvil on youtube does very in depth honest and detailed reviews.

I have a set of Iron Rangers that are 2 years old and look just as good as when they were new. I have a set of Nicks boots ordered because the soles on my Iron rangers are too worn down for the snow, but they will now be my "summer boot" Nicks are bulletproof.

Mine probably aren't the style you're looking for, but something on goodyearwelt will tickle your fancy.

Just get ready to drop a good $300. There are some solid options for a bit less than that, but 300-450 is a bulk of the market, 600-700 are the bulletproof boots designed to survive wildland firefighters, 800 and up are bespoke collectors handmade with flawless materials and craftsmanship.

Awesome! I’ll check this out. I’ve been replacing these dumb low quality boots every year for the past 12 years, I’d be happy to buy one expensive pair of boots and stick to them. (And I’m a wear it until the sole literally falls off type of person 😬)

Get a good pair and then you can just have them resoled.
