My much-loved but ancient and decrepit Docs are all cracked and leak like sieves, and have been resoled three times, and earlier this week developed an actual hole in the leather. :(
I went out and got a pair of Vegetarian Shoes ranger boots. Lower than my old DMs, but they'll be nice and comfy for summer. Today is Day Three of the Miss Adventure guaranteed boot break-in process (basically, cover your feet in band-aids and start with short walks in the boots, gradually, increasing the time and distance of wear. Grumble and mutter if the boots chafe any non-band-aid-coated areas).
These boots are so comfortable. The air seal sole is even bouncier and springier than DM bouncing soles, and the uppers have softened enough that I can almost bend my foot normally.
I wear an annoying half size, and these ran big, so I went for the smaller size. I still needed an insole to make them fit perfectly.
In all, so far I absolutely love these boots, and when funding permits I plan to get a pair of their engineer boots as well.
