A little intelligence in buying boots would go a long way. Vasque makes several highly durable boots that are STITCHED using a Norwegian welt. I
have worn their Montana boot for more than 25 years. I've gone through
three pairs in that time, each being resoled a minimum of four times each.
Most of the lighter-weight boots ARE glued together; of COURSE they fall apart! What do you expect? Serious hikers should research their gear
before they buy it. My best advice to hikers: Buy a REAL boot and quit whining about the weight!
