I bought a really cheap pair of winter boots in 2002. No-name brand, cost about the equivalent of โฌ15 in a grocery store. I just needed something.
I was disappointed as first because the lace loops were poorly attached and fell off after a week, but I decided to fix them with a tiny bolt that I found in my tool box. It's a little difficult to explain..
Anyway, they've been holding up since then. I only need them on days with snow, so the soles don't really wear out, the leather is still waterproof and the glue still holds up.
It was a complete fluke purchase. I wish I could recommend this or that brand, but I suppose that neither the brand or model has been available since I bought them 22 years ago on sale.
