I’m 50

I have had multiple pairs of both but I only have Solovair that I can still use, one pair is probably 20 years old with well over a 1000 miles on them. The soles are going out and the leather is cracked but on a dry day they are still the most comfy pair of boots I have

Docs were great until they became a chinese knockoff. If you can find a pair that says Made in England on the sole, they will be quality

The time and care required to changing the nozzle (unless you’ve got a good mod or fancy system) isn’t worth it IMO.

Quality > Quantity

This solution to abrasive filament is a tungsten nozzle or one of the ruby tip ones. The cost is a bit expensive but with a tungsten nozzle you might be one and done
