These were mine after about 9 months of house construction:

pretty sure they cant be saved, the leather was really thin over the toe and those holes took less than a month to form.

I've become a fan of Thorogood for welted workboots. The suede they use to reinforce where the back of your heel contacts doesn't hold up, but otherwise mine are doing surprisingly well after having a year's worth of boxes and crates dropped on 'em. I have the soles with the foam since I'm standing/hopping on hard surfaces all day, those can get a bit slippy. If you wait it out on Amazon, they sometimes get caught up in their seasonal fashion sales. If you're not a union member, that's probably the way to get 'em. If you are union, it's pretty easy to find them for additional discounts online.

'Course, construction and package handling probably tax boots in different ways.
