This is a great topic. I was speaking heavily on this issue 11yrs ago around a campfire with some YouTube preppers at a camping meetup.

I try to always have extra boots but my summer work boots are all pretty tired. I stacked 4 pairs of old Canadian Made "Kauffman" Sorel winter pack boots. The old ones are far better than the current Chinese made Sorels(Columbia bought Sorel 20yrs ago).

New Balance still make the 990 series shoes in USA. They run $140/pr for disposable sneakers. Danner still makes a few models in USA but they start just shy of $300. Same price as European Made backpacking boots such as Zamberlan, Meindl, Lowa, Hanwag, ect. I like European Made boots better.

The previously mentioned European Made boots can be re soled at a shoe cobbler. I would prefer to buy USA Made but I can't find anything that fits my bum foot. Boots that are resoleable are the next best option. I get a solid 2-3yrs out of the soles beating the $hit out of them doing landscaping and tree work, plus canoeing/camping/hiking in my free time.
