I'm not a huge fan but you can form your own opinion.

But they should. Just because we live in a society based on consumerist fast fashion doesn't mean we can't question it. I always take my dress shoes to get resoled. I've invested in nice shoes and I see no reason to replace them when only the sole is falling apart. I use Alpine Shoe Service in Kensington, he does great work.

I know you were just joking but squiggs does have a point. You might not care about the economic or environmental impact of disposal clothing but that doesn't mean nobody else does.

slight change in topic, but how are leather soled shoes in the winter? the kind of winter where we get snowfall.

do you have to/need to get a pair of over shoes? or can you manage walking outside with them.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

They're fine. Just as they have been for hundreds of years. Obviously vibram works better, though.

[kevman]

Agreed. Obviously they'll be a little more slippery than rubber soles but if you're young and able it's a non issue.

Short story time:
A few years ago I was seeing a chiro for some back pain. He actually said walking on ice was good for me. Claimed the instability and dynamic movement was good for our bodies. Fast forward and I still don't trust chiro's but I don't disagree with him. Dynamic movement, including sudden slips, does the body good. Keeps you young.

Maintenance wise, it's the same. The upper gets the most water damage anyway so that's no different.

If you're going to be walking outside, it's probably worth putting some rubber topys on. The sidewalk around some of the buildings downtown is almost impossible to walk on with full leather soles if we've had the slightest amount of snow, and falling down because of footwear is really lame.
