I have a pair of kodiaks that have lasted me 7 years so far. The sole is still like new, the stitching and seals are in excellent condition. The only thing I've had to replace is the laces.
I have a misaligned gait that wears down most shoes in under 2 years, yet these have survived me and frequent use.
I used to love sorel, however, something has changed and the quality and styles are not the same. Aesthetically, they are fine but they wear down incredibly fast. Last set i bought (3ish years ago) were ducks and after about a month there were leaks and soaked feet. Same for the men's sizes, the width changed. I am a narrow but other folks i know are wide and they had some severe discomfort with identical sized newer pairs (both men's boots).
